Ajaccio–Sète: what our readings show

On Ajaccio–Sète, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover a single travel profile tracked on this route, the adult foot passenger with a reclining seat, and two months of departures, September and October 2026. Corsica Ferries is the only company recorded: the crossing starts from €34.20 and settles at €37.30 on average across the whole window.

A single company on the route

Corsica Ferries is the only company recorded on the Ajaccio–Sète route. No comparison between companies is possible here: the minimum and the average quoted above, €34.20 and €37.30, are its own across every date observed. The only price lever our readings show lies in the month and the day of departure.

October 2026 at the floor, September 2026 at the peak

For this foot passenger profile with a reclining seat, only two months appear in our readings, and each rests on a single recorded date. September 2026 carries the highest average of the window, €40.40 — a price recorded just once, on Wednesday 30 September 2026, so the monthly average is strictly equal to that single price. October 2026 drops back to €34.20, recorded on Monday 26 October 2026 — the same situation, one reading makes the entire monthly average. The gap between the two months therefore rests on these two single dates: our readings cover no others on this route, and nothing shows whether the same gap would hold on a different date within the same month.

The cheapest dates

The best price of the window is €34.20, recorded on Monday 26 October 2026, with Corsica Ferries. The second and last price in our ranking is €40.40, recorded on Wednesday 30 September 2026, again with Corsica Ferries. Our readings hold only these two dates for this profile: the list stops where the data stops, with no intermediate date to rank between them.

Monday cheaper than Wednesday

Only two departure days appear in our readings for this profile. Monday shows the lowest average, €34.20, against €40.40 on Wednesday. With no other weekdays recorded on this route, this gap between the two observed days cannot be extended to the rest of the week.

An overnight crossing, once a week in season

Corsica Ferries states an overnight crossing of about 14 hrs on Ajaccio–Sète, a duration set by the company: departure from Ajaccio in the late afternoon, arrival in Sète the following morning. The frequency stated by the carrier is generally one departure a week in season. Boarding, again according to the company, takes place 30 min before departure on foot, against 1 hr for a vehicle. It is the same line as Sète–Ajaccio, operated in the return direction to the mainland. On the round trip, our readings offer one dated example: €40.40 outward on 30 September 2026, €42.00 back on 25 October 2026, or €82.40 for the two legs, with Corsica Ferries from end to end.

Leaving from another port for Sète

Two Corsican ports reach Sète in our readings, both with Corsica Ferries. Ajaccio, the departure port of this page, opens at the lowest floor, from €34.20 for €37.30 on average, a price recorded on 26 October 2026. L'Île-Rousse follows, from €37.60 for €48.80 on average, a price recorded on 14 September 2026. Across these two readings, both the minimum and the average rank Ajaccio ahead: no reversal between the two metrics, unlike what shows up on some other routes.

What these readings cover

Our readings on Ajaccio–Sète cover, on this route, only the foot passenger profile with a reclining seat, over two months — September and October 2026 — and only two departure days. Packages with a car or a cabin are not observed here, and no company other than Corsica Ferries has been recorded on this line. For a trip with a vehicle or a cabin from Ajaccio to Sète, only the companies' own sites are authoritative at the moment of booking.
