L'Île-Rousse–Toulon: what our readings show
On the L'Île-Rousse–Toulon route, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover departures from August to October 2026. The lowest price of the window goes to the foot passenger with a reclining seat: €27.30 for a departure on 18 September 2026, with Corsica Ferries. The same profile costs €81.00 on average in August 2026, the highest month of the window.
A single company on the route
Corsica Ferries is the only company recorded here. Neither a gap between companies nor a codeshare to weigh up: the price turns on the departure date and the package. For the foot passenger with a reclining seat, the company average across all dates settles at €50.46, its floor at €27.30. According to Corsica Ferries, the crossing takes 7 to 8 hours by day depending on the ship and about 7 hours by night, with several departures a week in season; boarding is 30 minutes before departure on foot, one hour with a vehicle.
August 2026 at the peak, October 2026 at the floor
For the foot passenger with a reclining seat, the window reads in three months. August 2026 sits at the top, at €81.00 on average, with an entry price of €54.00 on 29 August 2026. The return to school brings prices down: September 2026 comes out at €42.45 on average, October 2026 closes the window at €38.03, the lowest monthly average recorded. The entry prices follow a different order: the absolute floor, €27.30, falls on 18 September 2026, ahead of €31.00 on 18 October 2026.
The ranking of the eight cheapest dates leaves August out entirely: six fall in September 2026, two in October. Friday 18 September 2026 opens at €27.30, ahead of Sunday 18 October 2026 at €31.00. Wednesday 16 September 2026 and Saturday 24 October 2026 share €31.00. Then come Sunday 11 October 2026 at €34.00, Saturday 26 September 2026 at €35.00, Sunday 13 September 2026 at €37.60 and Monday 19 October 2026 at €38.00.
Wednesday rather than Thursday
For the foot passenger with a reclining seat, Wednesday comes out at €45.52 on average, ahead of Wednesday (€38.17), Sunday (€46.90) and Friday (€45.76); Saturday holds €51.47. The top of the table is contested between Thursday (€92.00) and Thursday (€92.00). Monday's trough reappears, amplified, on the motorised packages, where it now stands against Thursday, their dearest day: €119.00 on average for one adult with a car and a cabin against €284.00, €148.50 against €366.00 for two adults, €191.50 against €464.00 for two adults and two children.
Car and cabin: the trough sits between September and October 2026
For one adult, a car and a cabin, September 2026 carries the lowest average of the window, €145.58, with an entry price of €92.00 on 18 September 2026. October 2026 follows at €151.71, with a floor of €116.00 on 19 October 2026; August 2026 climbs to €277.33.
For two adults with a car and a cabin, the order of averages flips: October 2026 moves ahead with €180.83, against €180.83 in September 2026, while August 2026 holds €345.33. The floor, though, stays in September: €113.00 on 18 September 2026, ahead of €146.00 on 19 October 2026.
The family package — two adults, two children, a car and a cabin — follows the same split: October 2026 carries the lowest average, €232.50, ahead of September 2026 at €232.50; August 2026 peaks at €433.17. The entry price is again in September: €149.00 on 18 September 2026, against €192.00 on 19 October 2026. Across all dates, the average for this package settles at €280.88.
Leaving from another port for Toulon
Every Corsican port recorded towards Toulon is served by Corsica Ferries: Ajaccio, Bastia, Propriano, Porto-Vecchio and L'Île-Rousse. On the entry price, Ajaccio comes out ahead with €27.00 for a departure on 13 October 2026, followed by L'Île-Rousse at €27.30 on 18 September 2026, Propriano at €29.00 on 21 September 2026 and Bastia at €29.20 on 27 October 2026. On average, the ranking is reshuffled: Ajaccio moves to the front (€38.47), ahead of Bastia (€41.00) and Propriano (€42.19), while L'Île-Rousse, cheapest on the entry price, falls back to €50.46. Porto-Vecchio brings up the rear on both readings: €38.70 at the floor, €63.35 on average. For a foot passenger who can choose the port of embarkation, the departure point is therefore not neutral.
What these readings cover
These prices are one-way fares, expressed as the basket total for the package, recorded on 22 August 2026 for departures from August to October 2026; no departure in November 2026 or beyond is recorded from L'Île-Rousse towards Toulon. A foot passenger return trip assembled from two departures actually recorded comes to €55.30: €27.30 outbound on 18 September 2026 and €28.00 back on 21 September 2026, with Corsica Ferries in both directions. The opposite direction, Toulon–L'Île-Rousse, is the subject of separate readings.
