Costa returns to La Goulette after eight-year hiatus

CEO of La Goulette Cruise Port, Sami Debbiche, said, ‘The return of Costa Cruises is a delightful harbinger of the thriving future of the cruise industry in Tunisia. 

‘During the 2023 season, we've welcomed over 130,000 cruise passengers, and we're optimistic that this number will double in the seasons to come…’ 

In May 2022, the destination welcomed its first cruise ship in seven years with Saga’s Spirit of Discovery.
