We completed our cruise in Palermo around 16.30 and reached our ship. (You can read our articles by clicking on the links above for our experiences at our previous stops with MSC Fantasia at Genoa, Naples and Palermo.) Our ship will depart at 17:00. Leaving the port, he set out for La Goulette port of Tunisia, where the famous Italian actress Claudia Cardinale was born. Our ship reached La Goulette around 8 am. Since we had a flight that day, we did not have much time to visit the city. However, when you come here, you can visit the center of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, and the ruins of Carthage, which once challenged Rome. After we left, the ship also stopped by Barcelona and Marseille, and then reached its first stop, Genoa. We returned from Tunis to Istanbul by plane.
As in all cruise trips, you can’t get enough of the destinations we visited on this trip. However, cruise trips are a type of travel where you can decide which destinations you need to come back to later, which destinations you need to eliminate, and you do not get tired while visiting so many cities. In fact, in a way, you explore destinations by ship, as Christopher Columbus did, and then come back again to fully understand what they are.
