Bastia–Livorno: what our readings show
On the Bastia–Livorno route, our readings of 17 August 2026 cover departures from August 2026 to June 2027. The amounts quoted are aggregates of dated observations, expressed either as a minimum ("from") or as an average: two distinct measures, which do not rank the months in the same order.
Corsica Ferries dominates, one exception at Moby Lines
On the packages with a car and a cabin, our readings cover Corsica Ferries only: no other company appears over the window observed. For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €23.10 and comes out at €41.28 on average with Corsica Ferries; Moby Lines also appears on this profile, from €44.94 and at €68.14 on average. The price turns above all on the departure date and on the package.
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, €63.68, while its minimum for the month falls to €39.00: the range of fares is far wider there than anywhere else. November 2026 forms the trough of the window at €33.31 on average, from €30.10. December 2026 follows at €36.24 on average for a minimum of €28.80. Yet it is outside November that the lowest observation of the whole window is found: €23.10, recorded on Friday 25 September 2026. September 2026 nonetheless comes out at €40.63 on average. Between the two, October 2026 settles at €39.24 on average, March 2027 at €39.09, February 2027 at €39.15 and January 2027 at €39.85. After the turn of the year, the minimum holds at €39.00 in January as in February 2027, and drops to €37.00 in March. Spring 2027 then climbs back: €42.33 on average in April, €46.16 in May and €44.62 in June. Winter therefore never comes down to the level of the best autumn departures.
Wednesday in front, Saturday well above
On the reclining-seat profile, Tuesday carries the lowest average, €39.28, ahead of Monday at €39.55 and Tuesday at €39.28. Thursday settles at €40.96, Sunday at €43.43 and Friday at €44.41; Saturday brings up the rear at €50.00, well above the rest. With a vehicle the low point moves to Monday: for one adult with a car and a cabin, €128.78 on Monday against €164.71 on Saturday; for two adults, €160.00 against €206.13; for two adults and two children, €208.20 against €265.79. Sunday stays in the upper half on these three packages, at €148.83, €186.29 and €242.67.
Car and cabin: November 2026 at its lowest
With a vehicle, the monthly trough holds in November. For one adult, a car and a cabin, November 2026 is the cheapest month on average, at €121.77 for a minimum of €111.00, ahead of December 2026 at €122.15 and October 2026 at €125.32. August 2026 stays the heaviest, at €218.13 on average, its minimum for the month holding at €112.00. From January to March 2027 the average edges down, from €130.95 to €130.00 then €129.74, the minimum moving from €130.00 in January and February to €124.00 in March. Spring 2027 goes back above that: €136.03 in April, €147.10 in May and €140.21 in June. Across the whole window, this profile comes out at €137.72 on average for a floor of €82.00.
For two adults with a car and a cabin, November 2026 leads as well, at €150.64 on average for a minimum of €137.00, ahead of December 2026 at €151.30 and October 2026 at €156.10; August 2026 climbs to €273.47, and the whole window gives €171.44 on average for a floor of €108.00. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, November 2026 holds the lowest average at €197.09 for a minimum of €181.00; December 2026 follows closely at €198.10, then October 2026 at €204.16, whose minimum drops below both of them, to €161.00. August 2026 reaches €348.87, and the whole comes out at €222.63 on average for a floor of €161.00.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the best price of the window goes to Friday 25 September 2026, at €23.10. Sunday 18 October 2026 follows at €27.80, then Thursday 10 December 2026 at €28.80. Sunday 20 September 2026 follows at €29.50, then four dates stand at the same level, €30.00: Friday 4 September 2026, Thursday 5 November 2026, Saturday 31 October 2026 and Thursday 29 October 2026. Thursday comes back four times in this list even though it is not the cheapest day on average: €40.96, against €39.62 on Wednesday.
On the motorised packages, the best reading falls on Sunday 20 September 2026, topping each of them: €82.00 for one adult, €108.00 for two adults and €161.00 for two adults and two children. Next come, for one adult, Thursday 24 September 2026 at €98.00, then Friday 9 October 2026 at €102.00. For two adults, Friday 25 September 2026 stands at €125.00; for the family, Thursday 22 October 2026 at €161.00. On the reclining-seat profile, the best return trip recorded pairs a departure on 25 September 2026 at €23.10 with a return on 17 October 2026 at €28.00, or €51.10 for the two legs, with Corsica Ferries in both directions.
On deck, Corsica Ferries at the floor on every composition
On the Bastia–Livorno route, the deck fare — no cabin, no reserved reclining seat — joins the reclining-seat and car+cabin profiles tracked above. For one adult foot passenger on deck, the floor of our readings is €21.00, with Corsica Ferries, read on a single one-way departure, Friday 25 September 2026. Thursday 22 October 2026 follows at €22.00, then Sunday 18 October 2026 at €25.00; Monday 26 October 2026 and Friday 4 December 2026 both stand at €25.00, ahead of Thursday 10 December 2026 at €26.00. March 2027 carries the lowest deck average of the window, €30.91, for a minimum of €29.00; August 2026 stays the priciest, at €41.19 on average, for a minimum of €31.00. Across weekdays, Tuesday carries the lowest average recorded on deck, €31.71, ahead of Thursday at €32.55, Monday at €32.11 and Wednesday at €32.87; Saturday brings up the rear at €38.70, behind Sunday at €36.33 and Friday at €34.72.
The deck fare on this route comes down to two companies, both of them recorded on all four compositions: Corsica Ferries and Cors'Express. On our readings, for one adult foot passenger on deck, Corsica Ferries stays the cheapest, from €21.00 (€33.06 on average), ahead of Cors'Express, from €39.99 (€42.95 on average). The order does not flip on any composition, nor between the minimum and the average: for two adult foot passengers on deck, €41.03 with Corsica Ferries (€65.81 on average) against €79.98 with Cors'Express (€85.91 on average). For two adults and one child, €43.03 with Corsica Ferries (€90.27 on average) against €99.98 with Cors'Express (€106.88 on average); for two adults and two children, €56.03 with Corsica Ferries (€109.84 on average) against €119.98 with Cors'Express (€128.69 on average).
After the turn of the year, the deck fare settles: January 2027 comes out at €31.30 on average for a minimum of €31.00, February 2027 at €31.00 on average for that same minimum, and March 2027 at €30.91 on average for a minimum of €29.00. Spring 2027 climbs back to €33.17 on average in April, €36.81 in May and €35.10 in June. The rest of the window stays more restless: €35.24 on average in September 2026 (minimum €21.00), €32.04 in October (minimum €22.00), €32.09 in November (minimum €26.00) and €32.10 in December (minimum €26.00).
Cors'Express runs a daytime crossing, fast, with no cabin on board: a product distinct from the reclining-seat and car+cabin packages recorded above, which themselves also run at night in high season. According to Corsica Ferries, the crossing takes about 4 hours, with up to three departures a day, in the very early morning or early afternoon; boarding is 30 minutes before departure on foot, 1 hour with a vehicle. Cors'Express states around 2 hours 15 minutes of crossing, on a calendar that varies by season, with foot boarding only, at least 1 hour 30 minutes before departure; animals under 8 kg are admitted in a closed cage or basket, to be declared at booking. Our figures cover only the observed foot-passenger deck fare, never a price displayed directly by the company. The deck fare is therefore never compared to the reclining seat or the cabin: three distinct installations, at distinct price levels.
What these readings cover
Our data covers departures from August to December 2026, then from January to June 2027. Livorno appears in our readings only from Bastia: no other Corsican port serves this destination over the window observed. The best reclining-seat price of the whole period, €23.10, is read on Friday 25 September 2026, while August 2026 remains the only month whose reclining-seat average stands out this sharply, at €63.68.
