Ferries to Tunisia
 
OK I know who the ferry companies are - but who do you contact to book them?

I've spoken to a London-based agent (Southern Ferries) whose number is on the SNCM site, but they weren't exactly helpful - and the fare they quoted was pretty steep! (nearly GBP700 for Marseilles - Tunis, GBP550 Genoa - Tunis).

What have people used in the past?

Cheers

Try
http://www1.grimaldi.it/ or http://www.sncm.fr/fr/index.php

I used both of them two times to go to Tunisia with my motorbike.

The (SNCM) prices quoted are normal - thats why most go via Genoa but if your going soon it may be full already.

I booked the Genoa - Tunis ferry going on 2 Nov about 6 weeks ago. For a Landcruiser and two in private cabin we paid something like EUR 630.
I booked on line at www.sncm.fr and got the tickets sent to my home address in the Netherlands. This contrary to the advice given to me by one of the SNCM's telephone operators who told me that just a booking reference should do.

Happy sailings,

From Sicilia to Tunis ferry cost about 100 euro for a car(max 4 m) and about 50 euro per person. I dont know the companie name.
Good luck

Thanks all - after unhelpful service from Southern Ferries I booked via the SNCM agent in Brussels - no probs. Would recommend them.

I bet I know who you talked to at S Ferries, I've been going there for over 20 years and have watched her grow grey like me... Never a smile or a pleasant word to be had...
