Ajaccio–Toulon: what our readings show

On the Ajaccio–Toulon route, our readings of 17 August 2026 cover departures from August 2026 to June 2027. The prices quoted always distinguish the minimum observed from the average of the observations: on this route, the two readings do not rank the months in the same order.

A single company on the route

Every crossing observed on Ajaccio–Toulon is sold by Corsica Ferries. No comparison between companies is possible here: the price depends on the departure date and the package chosen, not on the seller. For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €28.00 and settles at €39.14 on average across the whole window. The company advertises daily departures all year round, in about 9 hours by day and about 11 hours by night.

August 2026 at the peak, November 2026 at the floor

For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, August 2026 carries the highest monthly average, €69.55, while its minimum for the month holds at €46.00, for a departure on 31 August 2026. November 2026 forms the trough of the averages, with €31.50 and a floor of €29.00 recorded on 27 November 2026. The best price of the whole window sits a month earlier, however, in October 2026, at €28.00 on 13 October 2026, for a monthly average of €40.55. December 2026 follows at €32.86 on average, minimum €28.00 on 4 December 2026, and September 2026 comes out at €40.13 for a minimum of €29.00 recorded on 28 September 2026. Past the turn of the year, January 2027 settles at €38.19 on average for a floor of €36.00, February 2027 at €36.82 and March 2027 at €36.71, the last of the three opening lowest at €34.00. Spring 2027 stays above that: April at €39.47, May at €40.45 and June at €39.34. August's rise therefore plays out on the average, driven by the dearest departures, not on the best price you can reach: that one stays low from September to December 2026.

Tuesday for the foot passenger, Wednesday with a vehicle

For the foot passenger with a reclining seat, Wednesday is the cheapest day on average, at €37.72, ahead of Monday at €37.82 and Wednesday at €36.51; Friday brings up the rear at €41.41, preceded by Sunday at €40.24, Saturday at €41.08 and Thursday at €39.30. The weekly spread bears no comparison with the monthly spread.

With a vehicle it is Wednesday that leads and Sunday that costs the most. For one adult with a car and a cabin, Wednesday settles at €146.18 on average when Sunday rises to €156.22; for two adults, €174.33 on Wednesday against €188.84 on Sunday. For two adults and two children, Wednesday gives €217.98 and Sunday €237.69.

Car and cabin: November 2026 at its lowest

With a vehicle, November 2026 leads the monthly averages on all three packages, and November 2026 follows it every time. For one adult, a car and a cabin, that month settles at €132.93 on average for a minimum of €102.00, departure on 4 December 2026, ahead of November 2026 at €132.93 and October 2026 at €142.19. August 2026 stays the heaviest, at €231.33 on average, its minimum for the month holding at €137.00 on 31 August 2026. Across the whole window, this profile settles at €152.27 on average for a floor of €91.00, recorded on 14 October 2026. For two adults with a car and a cabin, November 2026 gives €159.30 on average, ahead of November 2026 at €159.30 and October 2026 at €172.81; August 2026 climbs to €289.40, and the overall average comes out at €182.53 for a minimum of €96.03. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, November 2026 leads at €200.23, November 2026 follows at €200.23, August 2026 reaches €363.40, and the whole window gives €227.87 on average for a floor of €100.03.

The cheapest dates

For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, Friday 4 December 2026 carries the best price of the window, €28.00. Then come four days at €28.00: Tuesday 13 October 2026, Tuesday 8 December 2026, Monday 28 September 2026 and Wednesday 9 December 2026. Three dates close the list at €29.00: Monday 19 October 2026, Sunday 13 December 2026 and Thursday 10 December 2026. The motorised packages swing on another pivot: for one adult with a car and a cabin, Friday 18 September 2026 opens the ranking, at €91.00; for two adults as for two adults and two children, it is Thursday 27 May 2027, at €96.03 and €100.03.

On the foot passenger profile, the best return trip recorded pairs a departure on 13 October 2026 at €28.00 with a return on 28 October 2026 at €27.50, or €55.50 for the two legs, with Corsica Ferries from end to end.

Leaving from another port for Toulon

L'Île-Rousse carries the lowest entry point among the Corsican ports recorded for Toulon, from €26.60 for a departure on 18 September 2026, but its average, €54.81, places it only fourth. Ajaccio opens just above, at €28.00 on 4 December 2026, and holds the lowest average on the ranking, €39.14. Then come Bastia from €29.20 on 21 October 2026 for €41.07 on average, Propriano at €31.00 on 21 September 2026 for €42.85, and Porto-Vecchio bringing up the rear at €42.00 for €65.00. The lowest opening fare and the lowest average therefore do not start from the same port. All these departures are run by Corsica Ferries.
