North Africa cruises

What's great about North Africa cruises?

Cruises to the North Africa are like travelling through time. At one end of the spectrum, you’ve got some of the world’s most ancient sites. In Morocco, you can meander through maze-like bazaars, before paying a visit to an age-old mosque. But cities like Tangier show off a modern side to North Africa too, with a clifftop café scene and a contemporary art museum housed in a former palace.

Meanwhile, Tunis is a relatively new-to-the-radar city with elaborate mosaic-tiled palaces and spice-filled street food to sink your teeth into.

Nearby, history buffs can get their fix at Carthage, an archaeological site that once served as a trading hub for the Mediterranean. Or hop over to Sidi Bou Said to stroll white-and-blue splashed streets that scream Greek island as opposed to Tunisian coastal town.
