Some cruisers will be returning to the port of La Goulette in Tunisia starting in just a few weeks. MSC has officially announced today that it has reinstated the stop in Tunisia on its scheduled Mediterranean itineraries. Civil unrest due to a change in the government earlier this year prompted most cruise lines to drop the port from their itineraries. In a press release, MSC cites customer requests and increased security as the reasons for returning to La Goulette. Several cruise lines, including Disney have maintained their decision to not include the port in their sailings, which has, at least in Disney's case, resulted in high VAT taxes for cruisers onboard due to all port stops residing within the EU. The port of La Goulette in Tunisia is known for being the gateway to Roman ruins such as Carthage and Dougga as well as famous blue and white seaside town, Sidi Bou Said.
