Civitavecchia–Bastia: what our readings show

On the Civitavecchia–Bastia route, our readings of 19 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 €46.88 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 (€93.76 on average); for two adults and one child, from €99.98 (€117.54 on average); for two adults and two children, from €119.98 (€141.31 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, December 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 — a month whose minimum is one and the same as that average, at €59.99 (departure recorded on 25 September 2026), above the floor of the following months. December 2026 is the cheapest by contrast, at €39.99, a level November 2026 already comes close to, at €41.99. In between, October 2026 acts as the intermediate step, at €51.99 on average. After September 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, €83.98 in November and €79.98 in December 2026. For two adults and one child, it moves from €152.98 in September 2026 to €129.98 in October, €104.98 in November and €99.98 in December 2026. For two adults and two children, it falls from €185.98 in September 2026 to €155.98 in October, €125.98 in November and €119.98 in December 2026. Across the four profiles, September 2026 shows a minimum that is one and the same as its average, above the floor of the following months; from October 2026 onwards, the monthly minimum matches November's and December's, and it is the monthly average that tightens as autumn advances, not the floor fare. For two adults, that September floor is recorded on 28 September 2026, at a level the month's average does not exceed.

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, tied, Friday at €59.99 and Monday 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 holds the lowest average, and Monday and Friday share the peak, tied.

The cheapest dates

For an adult foot passenger on deck, eight recorded departures all land at the same fare, €39.99: Sunday 29 November 2026, Thursday 3 December 2026, Sunday 6 December 2026, Thursday 19 November 2026, Thursday 10 December 2026, Sunday 1 November 2026, Thursday 5 November 2026 and Sunday 8 November 2026. That €39.99 floor is also the monthly minimum observed every month from October to December 2026 — September 2026 does not go that low: 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. Livorno opens lowest, from €23.00 with Corsica Ferries (€36.28 on average, departure recorded on 17 October 2026), ahead of Toulon at €25.00 (€34.56 on average, on 23 October 2026) and Savona at the same price, €25.00 (€38.76 on average, on 25 September 2026), both served by Corsica Ferries. Then comes Nice at €26.00 (€34.61 on average, on 25 September 2026), also with Corsica Ferries. Sète follows at €31.00 at both minimum and average, a departure recorded on 27 October 2026, then Genoa at €36.75 (€41.03 on average, departure recorded on 25 September 2026) with Moby Lines. Civitavecchia closes the ranking at €39.99 (€46.88 on average, on 15 November 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 Toulon at €34.56 and Nice at €34.61. Livorno, first on the floor, falls back to fourth among the averages, at €36.28, ahead of Savona at €38.76 and Genoa at €41.03. Civitavecchia, for its part, closes the ranking on both the floor and the average, at €46.88.
