The port of disembarkation is that of <strong>La Goulette<\/strong>, the name of the coastal town that once functioned as an outpost of the capital (from which it is about ten kilometers away), located at the mouth of a canal, which made the capital itself a port city, which connects Lake Tunis with the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ports connected with the Tunisian port are the Italian ones of <strong>Civitavecchia, Palermo, Genoa and Salerno<\/strong>, and the French one of <strong>Marseille<\/strong>. In the following paragraphs we put under the magnifying glass the active <strong>routes<\/strong>, the <strong>shipping companies<\/strong> that run them, the<strong> ferries<\/strong> that are used and the <strong>travel times<\/strong>, but especially <strong>dates<\/strong>, departure <strong>times<\/strong> and ticket <strong>prices<\/strong>, which can be consulted at the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Civitavecchia-Tunis ferries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traghettiup.com\/en\/tratte\/civitavecchia-tunisi\"><strong>Civitavecchia<\/strong>&nbsp;\u279c Tunis<\/a> line is navigated by both <strong>Grimaldi Lines<\/strong> and <strong>GNV<\/strong> units.
