Civitavecchia–Bastia: what our readings show
On the Civitavecchia–Bastia route, our readings of 14 September 2026 cover a single company, Cors'Express, deck only, with no cabin or reserved reclining seat, across the four foot-passenger profiles tracked and departures from September to December 2026. For an adult foot passenger, the deck fare starts from €39.99 and comes to €47.78 on average across the whole window tracked.
A single company on the route
With no second company recorded on Civitavecchia–Bastia, there is neither a gap between companies nor a codeshare to flag: the fares that follow are Cors'Express's alone, one-way. For two adult foot passengers, deck starts from €79.98 (€95.57 on average); for two adults and one child, from €99.98 (€119.98 on average); for two adults and two children, from €119.98 (€144.39 on average). One recorded round trip pairs a departure on 1 October 2026 at €39.99 with a return on 4 October 2026 at €39.99, for €79.98 in total for an adult foot passenger.
September 2026 at the top, November 2026 at the floor
For the adult foot passenger on deck, September 2026 opens the window at its most expensive, at €59.99 on average, for a minimum that itself stays at €59.99 (departure recorded on 18 September 2026) — the gap therefore plays out on the monthly average, not on its floor. December 2026 is the cheapest by contrast, at €39.99, a level that holds through December 2026, at €39.99. In between, October 2026 acts as the intermediate step, at €51.99 on average. After October the average never climbs back.
The same trajectory recurs across the multi-traveller compositions. For two adults, the average falls from €119.98 in September 2026 to €103.98 in October, then €79.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and one child, it moves from €152.98 in September 2026 to €129.98 in October, then €99.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and two children, it falls from €185.98 in September 2026 to €155.98 in October, then €119.98 in November and December 2026. Across the four profiles, the minimum recorded as early as September 2026 already matches November's and December's: it is the monthly average that tightens as autumn advances, not the floor fare. September's floor is recorded on 21 September 2026, while the month's average sits well above it.
Thursday rather than Monday
Among the weekdays recorded for deck, Thursday comes out as the cheapest day for an adult foot passenger, at €42.99 on average, ahead of Sunday at €47.49, then Friday at €59.99 and Friday at €59.99. The same ranking recurs for two adults (€85.98 on Thursday, €94.98 on Sunday, €119.98 on Friday, €119.98 on Monday), for two adults and one child (€107.48, €118.73, €152.98, €152.98) and for two adults and two children (€128.98, €142.48, €185.98, €185.98). Across the four profiles tracked, Thursday stays pinned to the route's floor and Monday alone holds its peak.
The cheapest dates
For an adult foot passenger on deck, eight recorded departures all land at the same fare, €39.99: Thursday 3 December 2026, Sunday 1 November 2026, Sunday 6 December 2026, Thursday 26 November 2026, Thursday 12 November 2026, Sunday 15 November 2026, Thursday 5 November 2026 and Thursday 19 November 2026. That €39.99 floor is also the monthly minimum observed every month between September and December 2026: the room to manoeuvre lies less in the exact date than in the choice of month and weekday.
Leaving from another port for Bastia
Civitavecchia is not the cheapest port for reaching Bastia on deck. Nice opens lowest, from €16.26 with Corsica Ferries (€30.40 on average, departure recorded on 7 November 2026), ahead of Livorno at €26.00 (€36.29 on average, on 23 September 2026). Then come two ports tied on the floor, €15.26: Toulon (€34.20 on average, on 23 December 2026) and Savona (€38.64 on average, on 25 September 2026), both served by Corsica Ferries. Sète follows at €31.00 at both minimum and average, a departure recorded on 27 October 2026, then Genoa at €36.75 (€41.19 on average, departure recorded on 25 September 2026) with Moby Lines. Civitavecchia closes the ranking at €39.99 (€47.78 on average, on 6 December 2026) with Cors'Express. Piombino no longer appears in this ranking: as of this reading, no departure to Bastia is recorded there.
On average the ranking shifts: Sète, whose floor only ranks fifth, takes the lead, every one of its readings holding at €31.00. Next come Nice at €30.40, Toulon at €34.20 and Savone at €38.64, three closely packed ports. Livorno, second on the floor, falls back to fifth among the averages, at €36.29, ahead of Genoa at €41.19. Civitavecchia, for its part, closes the ranking on both the floor and the average, at €47.78.
A daytime crossing, fast, with no cabin
Cors'Express runs the Civitavecchia–Bastia route as a daytime crossing, fast, lasting about 3 hr 15 min according to the company. Departures take place on specific days of the week, not daily, on a schedule that varies by season. Only foot passengers are carried: the company does not board vehicles on this route. On board, the installation is deck seating — lounge seats, no cabin — with check-in requested at least 1 hr 30 min before departure, closing 15 min before.
