“We have chosen to enter a market with significant growth potential, particularly in passenger transport. We believe our fleet is well-equipped to meet diverse needs, and we have the necessary know-how to contribute to the market’s further development, in terms of both service and improved quality of offerings. The large Algerian community living in Europe, especially in France, makes these routes a natural extension of our offering. This is in line with a strategic approach focused on a sustainable and respectful entry, aiming to complement existing services and effectively respond to the region’s mobility needs” said Matteo Catani, CEO of GNV.

As part of the 2025 schedule, starting from June 3 until September 30, the Company will introduce two weekly connections to Algeria: Sète – Algiers and Sète – Bejaia, each operating once a week.

The vessel FANTASTIC will operate on all routes, offering onboard services tailored to the needs of the North African market. Passengers will have access to halal cuisine, a prayer room, and family-friendly areas.
