The Port of La Goulette Cruises is once again at the forefront of the Mediterranean cruise industry, welcoming the start of the new season. With five ships already docked and more than 38 expected, the port has opened its doors to over 8,000 passengers.
The first ships to arrive at the La Goulette Cruise Port were the SH Diana from Swan Hellenic and the MSC Grandiosa from MSC Cruises, which brought with them more than 5,000 passengers from all over the world.
For those who wanted to explore the city, there were opportunities ranging from tours of the ancient city of Carthage and Sidi Bou Said to visits to the Medina of Tunis.
Sami Debbiche, General Manager of the Port of La Goulette Cruises, commented: “We are delighted with the start of this year’s season, as we welcome more port calls and more cruise passengers from around the world. We hope this season is the beginning of many successful seasons to come. We will continue to offer our business partners the best services with all the necessary health and safety measures in place.”
The La Goulette Cruise Port, operated through a joint venture between Global Ports Holding Plc and MSC Cruises SA, began operations in May 2019. The port boasts 657 meters of berths, enabling it to accommodate mega-ships such as the Oasis, Excellence, and Meraglivia-plus. The ISPS-compliant port offers enhanced security services to cruise passengers. With two terminal buildings, the La Goulette Cruise Port can efficiently manage cruise operations.
