Cruises to Casablanca, Morocco
Port description
Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and is full of interesting history, dating back to the 17th century when it was occupied by the Portuguese. Under the French, Casablanca became an administrative centre and was rebuilt. Today you can see much of this new layout with wide boulevards, parks and fountains.
