Why travel by ferry from Marseille to Tunis?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Marseille to Tunis ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Tunis. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Marseille to Tunis is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Marseille-Tunis crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Tunis to get off the boat.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Marseille-Tunis crossing, access the outside areas of the CTN Tunisia Ferries or Corsica Linea ship to take a deep breath of air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Tunis feeling perfectly zen and energised.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Marseille to Tunis by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
