Moby Lines alone on the reclining seat and the cabin
On Genoa–Bastia, our readings of 22 August 2026 bring up two companies, but not on the same products. The reclining seat and the car-plus-cabin packages are recorded only with Moby Lines. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the average stands at €48.49, from €40.75. With a car and a cabin, one adult works out at €97.89 on average, from €80.46; two adults at €135.78, from €112.21; two adults and two children at €205.41, from €175.71. According to Moby Lines, the crossing runs by day, in 5 hours to 5 hours 30 minutes, with boarding one hour before departure on foot and two hours with a vehicle.
Moby Lines cheaper than Cors'Express on deck
The deck fare, with no cabin or reserved reclining seat, is sold by two companies on this route: Cors'Express and Moby Lines. According to Cors'Express, this is a fast daytime service, about 3 hours 30 minutes, open to foot passengers only, with no cabin, on a non-daily schedule that varies by season — a product distinct from the reclining seat and cabin described above.
For a single adult on deck, Moby Lines is the cheapest in our readings: from €36.75, for €42.13 on average. Cors'Express follows, from €39.99 and €39.99 on average. The foot-passenger deck fare stays at €36.75 from August to December 2026 with Moby Lines: the August 2026 average climbs to €41.88 because Cors'Express still shares the route, eases back to €40.67 in September 2026, then settles at €39.99 from October to December 2026, floor and average alike.
The same ranking recurs across the larger compositions. For two adults, Moby Lines starts at €68.50 for €79.13 on average, against €79.98 on average at Cors'Express, from €79.98. For two adults and one child, €95.25 and €110.63 on average at Moby Lines, against €99.98 on average at Cors'Express, from €99.98. For two adults and two children, the gap widens further: €119.98 and €119.98 on average at Cors'Express against €140.46 on average at Moby Lines, from €122.00. The average saving between comparable offers ranges from 10.7% for two adults to 14.7% for two adults and two children, with a maximum gap recorded of €42.98 on this last composition.
Across the days of the week tracked for deck, Saturday comes out lowest, at €41.12 on average, ahead of Sunday at €41.33, Friday at €39.63, Tuesday at €39.99 and Thursday at €39.99; Monday closes the ranking at €44.25.
August the most expensive, September at the floor
For the foot passenger in a reclining seat, the average starts at €53.89 in August 2026 (from €45.75) and falls back to €46.13 in September 2026, the lowest of the window, with a floor of €40.75.
With a car and a cabin, August 2026 holds the top throughout. One adult works out at €102.60 on average in August 2026 (from €85.46), then falls back to €95.83 in September 2026 (from €80.46). For two adults, the average moves from €142.21 in August 2026 (from €122.21) to €132.96 in September 2026 (from €112.21). For two adults and two children, August 2026 comes out at €213.57 on average (from €190.71) and September 2026 starts at €175.71 for €201.84 on average. These four packages, recorded with Moby Lines alone, are limited to August and September 2026, and September wins out every time, on average as at the floor.
Friday rather than Saturday
Friday is the best day across the four packages recorded with Moby Lines. For the foot passenger, it comes out at €42.75 on average, ahead of Sunday at €47.75 and Monday at €48.25, while Saturday rises to €54.25. With a car and a cabin, the gap widens: for one adult, €88.46 on Friday against €103.79 on Saturday; for two adults, €122.21 against €143.88; for two adults and two children, €187.71 against €215.71. Monday and Sunday sit at the intermediate ranks: €99.63 and €98.13 for a motorised adult, €138.88 and €135.88 for two adults, €209.88 and €205.38 for the family. Our readings cover only these four days of the week for these packages.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the floor of €40.75 is read only once, on Friday 11 September 2026, with Moby Lines. The next seven departures are all at €40.75: Friday 25 September 2026, Friday 4 September 2026, Sunday 6 September 2026, Sunday 13 September 2026, Sunday 20 September 2026, Friday 28 August 2026 and Monday 31 August 2026.
For one adult with a car and a cabin, that same Friday 4 September 2026 marks the floor, €80.46, ahead of Friday 28 August 2026 at €85.46; the next six departures all settle at €90.46, starting with Friday 25 September 2026, Friday 11 September 2026 and Sunday 13 September 2026.
For two adults with a car and a cabin, the lead is identical: €112.21 on Friday 4 September 2026, then €122.21 on Friday 25 September 2026; a €122.21 plateau then takes in the six other dates.
Two adults and two children find €175.71 on Friday 4 September 2026, €185.71 on Friday 25 September 2026, then €185.71 for the rest of the list. The four packages recorded with Moby Lines point to the same leading departure, and September 2026 supplies most of the low dates.
On a round trip, the best foot-passenger pairing recorded with Moby Lines combines an outward leg at €40.75 and a return leg at €46.88, for €87.63 in total.
Leaving from another port for Bastia
Genoa is not the cheapest departure for reaching Bastia. At the minimum, Savona opens at €28.10 via Corsica Ferries for a departure recorded on 13 October 2026, ahead of Livorno at €25.00, Toulon at €30.90, Nice at €27.90, Piombino at €52.00 and Sète at €41.00, all with Corsica Ferries; Marseille starts at €46.37 via Corsica Linea, and Genoa at €40.75 via Moby Lines. On average, the order shifts: Piombino leads at €52.00, ahead of Toulon at €39.56 and Livorno at €40.15, then Savona at €40.13, Nice at €43.78 and Sète at €41.00; Genoa comes out at €48.49, ahead of Marseille at €60.63. Savona, the lowest floor of the window, holds only fourth place on the averages, while Piombino, fifth on the minimum, takes the lead on the average.
The reclining seat and the car-plus-cabin packages are covered in August and September 2026, every crossing recorded with Moby Lines; the deck fare, for its part, runs from August to December 2026 and is split between Cors'Express and Moby Lines. It is in September 2026 that the reclining seat and the cabin touch the bottom of the window: from €40.75 for a foot passenger in a reclining seat, from €80.46 with a car and a cabin.
