Use the Tunis passenger terminal in La Goulette as the starting point. The city name in a booking search covers a wider area. GNV’s Tunis terminal guide identifies the maritime terminal and the passenger sailings from Tunisia.
Compare the arrival date and time for Genoa on each sailing. GNV indicates about 23 to 24 hours on this route. A ticket on another ship or a changed timetable can give a different arrival, particularly when you are comparing a morning connection in Italy.
When comparing operators, start with passenger itineraries such as CTN’s passenger destinations. Add your vehicle and the overnight accommodation you want before comparing totals. Take what you need for the crossing out of the car before the vehicle deck closes.
Allow time between disembarking at Genoa and any train or hotel check-in. Break the onward trip into the passenger exit, the transfer to the station or collection point, and the road or rail journey from there.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Genoa may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Genoa’s historic core is best explored on foot, while rail and local transport connect coastal districts and the wider Ligurian Riviera.
Porto Antico, Via Garibaldi, the cathedral and many old-town streets are close enough to combine on foot.
Genova Piazza Principe and Brignole connect the city with the Italian rail network and Ligurian coastal towns.
The port is large and motorway approaches can be busy, so confirm the correct terminal before setting out.
For an onward connection from Genoa, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
