I took a 25-hour ferry from Europe to Africa along the Mediterranean. My trip on the massive ship felt like a nice cruise.

I watched the sunset before heading back to my cabin.

Around sunset, I headed up to the top deck, which had benches anyone could sit on. I braved the whipping wind to watch us pull farther away from Genoa.
The trip lasted from about 3 p.m. on the day we left to 4 p.m. the next day — giving me plenty of time to watch the colors change from dusk to dark and dawn to daylight.
The next day, the water seemed to turn an entirely new shade of blue as we approached Tunis.
When we arrived at the port, I went through customs and called a Bolt taxi to take me into the capital city. I spent the next two weeks exploring beaches, architecture, museums, ruins, and new foods.
This was the last stop of my trip, so I flew directly from Tunisia to Chicago and didn’t ride the ferry back. But I can’t wait to return to Tunisia.
If and when I do, I’ll definitely take the ferry again.
