Reaching Tunisia by sea
The ferry remains the most practical way to reach Tunisia with your car, motorhome or luggage. Crossings take nine to twelve hours from Sicily, and generally a night on board from France or mainland Italy, with cabins and catering.
Departures are from France (Marseille) and Italy (Genoa, Civitavecchia, Salerno), as well as from Palermo, in Sicily. On the Tunisian side, all ferries dock at Tunis, in the port of La Goulette.
