Overview
Itinerary
Palermo is a cultural feast, a fascinating combination of East and West, Arab and Norman that is quite unlike any other European city on the Mediterranean. Stacked markets spill out onto souk-like streets, while grand piazzas host elaborate fountains and sculptures, below the watch of baroque church domes.
Top Things to Do in Palermo:
- take a scenic drive up Mt. Pellegrino
- visit the Capuchin Catacombs
- explore the ruins of Segesta
- wander through the busy Mercato del Capo
- visit the medieval town of Erice
Discover Tunis, a city rich with cultural and historical experiences. Wander the UNESCO-listed Medina, a maze of alleyways, souks, mausoleums, and palaces, showcasing the city's storied past. Don't miss the Bardo Museum, home to one of the world's greatest collections of Roman mosaics, for a glimpse into ancient artistry.
For a change of pace, explore Sidi Bou Said, a picturesque village with cobbled streets, vibrant courtyards, and iconic blue-and-white architecture, offering serene views over the Mediterranean.
Transport options from La Goulette port to Tunis are plentiful, with services providing efficient and affordable means to explore the capital's treasures. The connection from the port to the city is approximately 20 minutes (14.5km/9 miles).
La Goulette serves as the main cruise port for Tunis, Tunisia's vibrant capital. Ships dock at the La Goulette Cruise Terminal, located about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from central Tunis. The city can be reached in approximately 20 minutes by taxi or shuttle bus.

Ship Reviews (1)
Unfortunately due to a storm in the English Channel we had to miss the port of Le Havre. Was expecting a refund of the port charges but not to be. Other cruise lines refund but not MSC apparently. This was our 1st MSC cruise and probably our last - prefer other cruise lines such as Princess or Holland America. There were a large number of children on board which we hadn’t anticipated (didn’t realise it was end of school break in England). Plenty of activities on board for children and would probably be a good holiday for families. Embarkation and disembarkation were handled well and did not take long. As we did our own thing in each port, rather than a ship excursion, the provision of shuttle buses into the city centres were a great help. As usual Tracey and the team at Global Journeys were great with all aspects of our booking. Will happily use again for future trips.
