The new route represents a novelty in GNV
“The new route represents a novelty in GNV’s programming and was created with the aim of responding to the growing demand for direct connections between Italy and Tunisia, offering a faster service and strengthening capacity. The new direct connection was also created to support the mobility of the Tunisian community living in Central-Southern Italy during the summer period” explains the company.
Departures every week from Civitavecchia
