The Tunisie Challenge has renewed its collaboration agreement with CTN, Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation, which will continue as the official ferry company of the rally in the coming editions. The objective of this agreement is to facilitate participants’ travel between Europe and Tunisia.

Both parties signed this agreement at the end of 2022. Since then, the collaboration has grown and strengthened. This relationship improves logistics, coordination, pricing and the overall participant experience.

The organisation recommends that all teams use CTN for their travel. This allows better schedule coordination, concentration of the convoy movement and improved assistance with customs procedures.

For the sixth edition, taking place from 7 to 16 October 2026, there is an important point: even if some teams do not use CTN for the outbound journey, it is highly recommended to book the return ticket with this company.

At the end of the Tunisie Challenge, the organisation, together with the Tunisian Federation and the Tourism Office, will be present in the customs area in Tunisia only for the departure of the CTN ferry. The aim is to centralise assistance and facilitate exit procedures.

Travelling with the official ferry company for the return ensures a simpler operation with direct assistance for all participants.

CTN has more than 40 years of experience connecting Europe and Tunisia. It is one of the main gateways to the country for travellers and teams. Its ships connect ports and mark the beginning of the adventure.

The crossing will start in Marseille, where the company organises a welcome cocktail. This event marks the beginning of the Tunisie Challenge. The journey will end in Genoa after several days of stages.

Boarding at the Old Port of Marseille will take place on Wednesday, 7 October. The return will be from the port of La Goulette on 16 October.
