L'Île-Rousse–Nice: what our readings show
On the L'Île-Rousse–Nice route, our readings from 14 September 2026 cover departures from September to October 2026. Over this short window, September 2026 is the cheapest month whatever the profile, and the day of departure weighs heavily.
A single company on the route
Every crossing observed between L'Île-Rousse and Nice is sold by Corsica Ferries: the traveller profiles, the months covered and the cheapest dates all carry its name. No comparison between companies, and no codeshare gap, is possible on this route. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €39.00 and works out at €46.65 on average across all the dates recorded.
September 2026 at the floor, October 2026 at the peak
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, September 2026 carries the lowest average of the window, €39.00, as minimum and average alike, for a departure recorded on 15 September 2026. October 2026 closes the window at the top: €54.30, there too as minimum and average alike, the two figures merging into one. Over this window, the gap is therefore not played out inside a month but from one month to the next.
With a vehicle, September 2026 stays lowest
For one adult with a car and a cabin, the cheapest month stays September 2026, at €125.00 for a minimum of €125.00. October 2026, the dearest, settles at €209.00 — minimum and average merge there too, as for the foot passenger. The overall average works out at €167.00.
Two adults with a car and a cabin follow exactly the same order: September 2026 at €152.00 on average for a minimum of €152.00, ahead of October 2026 at €257.00. The motorised family too: for two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, September 2026 leads at €196.00 on average for a minimum of €196.00, ahead of October 2026 at €321.00. Across all the dates, these two profiles come out at €204.50 and €258.50 on average.
Tuesday at the floor, Saturday at the peak
Only Tuesday and Saturday carry recorded departures on this route. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, Tuesday comes out at €39.00 on average; Saturday brings up the rear, markedly above, at €54.30. With a vehicle, the order holds and the gap widens: €125.00 on Tuesday against €209.00 on Saturday for one adult with a car and a cabin, €152.00 against €257.00 for two adults, €196.00 against €321.00 for two adults and two children. Saturday remains the dearest day on all four profiles tracked.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, Tuesday 15 September 2026 carries the best price of the window, €39.00. The ranking then drops away: €54.30 on Saturday 3 October 2026, which closes the list, well above.
On the motorised packages, one and the same departure leads throughout: Tuesday 15 September 2026 carries the floor for all three packages, €125.00 for one adult, €152.00 for two and €196.00 for the family. Saturday 3 October 2026 closes the list on all three packages, at €209.00, €257.00 and €321.00: from one date to the other, each of the three packages changes level markedly, without the order between them moving. On the foot-passenger profile, the best return trip recorded pairs a departure on 15 September 2026 at €39.00 with a return on 3 October 2026 at €37.00, that is €76.00 for the two legs, with Corsica Ferries in both directions.
Leaving from another port for Nice
To reach Nice, the lowest entry fare is Bastia's, €23.26 for a departure on 5 December 2026. Propriano follows at €33.00 on 21 October 2026, then L'Île-Rousse at €39.00 on 15 September 2026, ahead of Porto-Vecchio at €39.70 on 23 September 2026. On the average, the order reverses: Porto-Vecchio leads at €39.70, minimum and average alike, ahead of Propriano at €40.00; Bastia, first on the floor, falls back to €46.20, and L'Île-Rousse brings up the rear at €46.65. The cheapest port at the entry fare is thus second to last on the average. Ajaccio does not appear in these readings towards Nice. The ports listed here are all served by Corsica Ferries.
