MSC Cruises announced that its cruises will be calling at the Tunis port of La Goulette on a regular basis again starting from July 5.
“The country is back to normal, security is now stable and we are glad to offer our guests one of their favourite destinations again for this summer’s seven-night cruises in the Mediterranean.
“Tourism represents one of the biggest resources for this country’s economic revival and we are proud to be making our contribution” said MSC Cruises chief executive officer Pierfrancesco Vago.
MSC Fantasia and MSC Lirica are scheduled to return to La Goulette on July 5, with MSC Splendida and MSC Sinfonia calling at the port the day after.
The four cruise ships will offer seven-night cruises exploring the most breathtakingly beautiful areas of the Western Mediterranean.
MSC Cruises will also be offering Tunis as a winter destination on MSC Splendida’s six seven-night cruises sailing between December 2011 and March 2012, departing from Genoa and also calling at Malta.
Guests visiting Tunis can enjoy its renowned North African hospitality on a varied array of excursions offered by MSC Cruises.
The city welcomes MSC guests and never fails to enchant with its famous archaeological site at Carthage, typical spice market in the Medina, traditional fishing village Sidi Bou Said and much, much more – including, of course, La Goulette itself.
