Ajaccio–Nice: what our readings show
On Ajaccio–Nice, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover departures in August 2026. A single month in the window, and the spread plays out inside it: for a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €73.00 on Tuesday 25 August 2026, while the month's average settles at €80.00.
A single company on the route
Corsica Ferries is the only company recorded on the route. It carries every fare quoted here: for a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €73.00 and settles at €80.00 on average across the window. No comparison between companies is possible on Ajaccio–Nice; what moves the price is the day of departure, the date and the port chosen.
August 2026: from €73.00, €80.00 on average
August 2026 is the only month covered by the window; no comparison between months is possible in these readings. Within the month, the gap between the entry fare and the average tells the spread of the dates: a foot passenger with a reclining seat starts from €73.00 on Tuesday 25 August 2026, for €80.00 on average. The motorised packages follow the same mechanism and the same entry date: one adult with a car and a cabin starts from €275.00 on Tuesday 25 August 2026 for €292.00 on average; two adults with a car and a cabin from €345.00 for €364.50; two adults, two children, a car and a cabin from €429.00 for €448.50. At constant package, the two dates in the ranking are not worth the same: for the family, €429.00 at one end, €468.00 at the other.
Tuesday rather than Saturday
Our readings set only two weekdays against each other here: Tuesday and Saturday. The order does not move from one package to the next, the first stays the cheaper on all four. For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, it holds €73.00 on average against €87.00. One adult with a car and a cabin pays €275.00 against €309.00; two adults with a car and a cabin, €345.00 against €384.00; two adults and two children, €429.00 against €468.00. The gap between the two days grows with the package without ever changing direction.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the lowest fare is dated Tuesday 25 August 2026, at €73.00. The other date in the ranking, Saturday 22 August 2026, comes to €87.00. Both fall in the second half of the month: on this profile, the entry fare is not at the start of August.
The motorised packages open on the same date as the foot passenger, at an altogether different level. Tuesday 25 August 2026 holds all three floors: €275.00 for one adult with a car and a cabin, €345.00 for two adults, €429.00 for two adults and two children.
The second date is common to all four rankings: Saturday 22 August 2026, recorded at €309.00, €384.00 and €468.00 on the three motorised packages, and at €87.00 for the foot passenger. It falls earlier in the month than the floor: the price ranking does not follow the order of the calendar, and sailing later works out cheaper here. Both dates land on the two weekdays set out above — Tuesday for the floor, Saturday for the other — on all four packages.
Leaving from another port for Nice
The Corsican ports recorded for Nice all run with Corsica Ferries: Propriano, L'Île-Rousse, Bastia, Porto-Vecchio and Ajaccio. At the minimum, Propriano opens lowest, at €26.00 for a departure on 21 October 2026, ahead of Bastia at €32.00 on 4 September 2026, L'Île-Rousse at €33.00 on 6 September 2026, Porto-Vecchio at €37.60 on 23 September 2026 and Ajaccio at €73.00 on 25 August 2026. On average, the lead changes hands: Porto-Vecchio moves in front at €37.60, its floor and its average coinciding across the dates recorded, while Propriano, the lowest at the minimum, falls back to second at €35.50. Bastia follows at €52.31, then L'Île-Rousse at €55.18; Ajaccio brings up the rear at €80.00, last on both metrics. The port that opens lowest is therefore not the one that holds up best across all the dates recorded: stopping at the entry fare alone is enough to pick the wrong port of departure.
