Route guide

Genoa to Tangier Med: a long-distance ferry from Italy to Morocco

GNV operates Genoa–Tangier Med throughout the year. Current booking examples show journeys of roughly 51 hours direct or around 53½ hours when the sailing includes a Barcelona call, so always check the exact itinerary before booking.

For summer 2026, GNV has strengthened the Italy–Morocco network with new LNG-powered GNV Aurora and GNV Virgo operating between Genoa, Barcelona and Tangier Med. On a two-day crossing, cabin choice, meals and onboard space are central parts of the journey.

This is an international journey outside the EU. Allow generous time for passport, passenger-information, vehicle and customs formalities at both ports, and check current Moroccan entry rules for your nationality well before departure.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Genoa to Tangier Med. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
