Bastia–Toulon: what our readings show

On the Bastia–Toulon route, our readings of 17 August 2026 cover departures spread from August 2026 through to the middle of 2027. Every price quoted separates the lowest observed fare from the average of the observations: the two readings do not always point to the same month, nor to the same day of the week.

A single company on the route

Every crossing observed between Bastia and Toulon is sold by Corsica Ferries. No comparison between companies is possible here, and there is no codeshare gap to read: the price turns on the departure date and on the package chosen, not on the seller. For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €29.20 and settles at €41.07 on average across the whole window. The company advertises a daily departure, in roughly 11 to 12 hours by night and roughly 10 hours by day.

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, €65.51, and its minimum for the month drops only to €44.00, the level of the winter 2027 floors. November 2026 forms the trough of the averages, at €34.89 for a minimum of €30.90. October 2026 follows at €38.72 and carries the best price of the whole window, €29.20, recorded on 22 October 2026. September 2026 settles at €42.50 for a minimum of €32.60, December 2026 at €38.76 for a minimum of €32.00. In 2027 the average falls month after month: €40.58 in January, €39.57 in February, €38.39 in March, those three months sharing exactly the same floor, €38.00. August 2026 therefore weighs on only one of the two readings: it carries the highest average of the window, but its floor stays at the winter level, while autumn 2026 goes markedly lower.

Tuesday rather than Saturday

On the foot passenger profile, Tuesday is the cheapest day on average, at €39.16, ahead of Monday at €40.18 and Thursday at €40.01. Friday holds at €40.82, Wednesday at €41.49, Sunday at €41.57, and Saturday brings up the rear at €44.39. The weekly spread bears no comparison with the monthly one.

As soon as a vehicle enters the package, the low point moves. For one adult with a car and a cabin, as for two adults, Tuesday comes out cheapest, at €147.76 and €179.76 on average. For two adults and two children, Tuesday keeps that rank, at €227.76, with Tuesday a whisker behind at €222.87. Saturday remains the dearest day throughout, at €165.98, €201.65 and €253.74.

Car and cabin: November 2026 at its lowest, August 2026 at the peak

With a vehicle, August 2026 stays the heaviest month, as for the foot passenger. For one adult, a car and a cabin, November 2026 is the cheapest month on average, at €135.77 for a minimum of €103.00, ahead of October 2026 at €142.81 and September 2026 at €164.78. August 2026 leads the monthly averages at €236.20, far ahead of every other month recorded. Across the whole window, this profile comes out at €152.81 on average for a floor of €66.03, recorded on Friday 16 October 2026.

For two adults with a car and a cabin, November 2026 also holds the lowest monthly average, €165.10 for a minimum of €133.00, while August 2026 climbs to €291.90. The overall average settles at €185.56 for a floor of €68.03, recorded on Friday 16 October 2026. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, November 2026 stays in front at €210.30 on average for a minimum of €173.00, while August 2026 reaches €362.10. The whole window gives €234.50 on average for this profile, with a floor of €72.03, recorded on Friday 16 October 2026.

The cheapest dates

For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, three days share the best price of the window, €29.20: Wednesday 21 October 2026, Thursday 22 October 2026 and Saturday 31 October 2026. Then come Saturday 28 November 2026 at €30.90, Tuesday 20 October 2026 at €31.00 and Saturday 21 November 2026 at €31.90. Friday 23 October 2026, at €32.00, and Monday 19 October 2026, at €32.00, close the list. October 2026 alone places six dates in this ranking, September and November 2026 one each.

On the motorised packages, the calendar shifts, but October 2026 keeps the upper hand. For one adult with a car and a cabin, Friday 16 October 2026 leads at €66.03, ahead of Thursday 22 October 2026 at €84.00 and Sunday 1 November 2026 at €103.00. For two adults, the same date opens the ranking, at €68.03, ahead of Thursday 22 October 2026 at €109.00. For two adults and two children, the best price moves to Friday 16 October 2026, at €72.03, ahead of Sunday 1 November 2026 at €173.00. The date that leads the two other motorised packages, Saturday 21 November 2026, only comes fifth here, at €185.00: group size moves the best departure.

Leaving from another port for Toulon

Bastia is not the lowest entry point among the Corsican ports recorded towards Toulon. L'Île-Rousse opens below all the others, from €26.60 for a departure on 18 September 2026, but settles at €54.81 on average, the second-to-last level of the five ports recorded. Ajaccio opens just above, at €28.00 on 4 December 2026, and holds the lowest average instead, €39.14. Bastia comes next, from €29.20 — on 22 October 2026 — for €41.07 on average. Propriano starts higher, at €31.00, and still stays below L'Île-Rousse on average, at €42.85. Porto-Vecchio stands apart on both counts, €42.00 at the minimum and €65.00 on average. The ranking by floor and the ranking by average therefore do not coincide: the port that opens lowest is only fourth across all the dates observed. All these departures are run by Corsica Ferries.
