Livorno–Bastia: what our readings show

On the Livorno–Bastia route, the foot passenger crossing with a reclining seat drops lowest on average in September 2026: €35.55, for a floor of €29.10 with Corsica Ferries, recorded for a departure on 23 September 2026 — the lowest point of the entire window. November 2026 follows very closely, at €36.51 on average for an entry fare of €33.80 (departure on 6 November 2026), ahead of October 2026 at €38.98, whose floor drops to €30.00, recorded for a departure on 17 October 2026 — only September 2026 does better —, then December 2026 at €41.34 (from €35.00, on 3 December 2026). The highest monthly average of the window goes to August 2027, €49.97, while the minimum of that same month comes down to €39.00: that is the measure of the spread between departures within one and the same month. Over the early 2027 months, the averages for January, February and March stay tightly clustered — €41.29, €40.20 and €40.13 — with January and February sharing the same floor, €40.00, and March dropping to €38.00; April 2027 then climbs back to €43.27 on average.

The day-of-the-week effect. On the foot passenger profile with a reclining seat, Wednesday is the cheapest day, at €39.74 on average, followed by Thursday at €40.51, Tuesday at €41.43 and Monday at €41.97. At the other end, Saturday is the dearest, at €47.91 on average, just ahead of Sunday at €46.87; Friday comes out at €45.03. With a car and a cabin, Tuesday takes the lead for one adult, €128.31 on average, as for two adults, €159.69, with Wednesday and Thursday less than two euros behind — €128.78 and €129.73 for one adult, €160.14 and €161.42 for two. For two adults and two children, Tuesday also leads, €207.35, against €208.14 on Wednesday and €209.25 on Thursday. Saturday and Sunday bring up the rear on these three packages, at €151.78 and €154.03 for one adult, €189.94 and €192.17 for two adults, €244.31 and €245.62 for the family.

With a car and a cabin. For one adult travelling with their car in a cabin, July 2027 carries the highest average of the window (€159.32) and November 2026 the lowest (€121.14, from €103.00); October 2026 follows very closely, at €126.97, then December 2026 at €127.17 and September 2026 at €127.94, the last of these with a floor of €101.00 recorded for 26 September 2026. The absolute floor on this profile, €55.03, nonetheless falls in the second cheapest month on average, on Tuesday 20 October 2026. For two adults with a car and a cabin, July 2027 comes out at €197.68 on average against €152.95 in November 2026 (from €133.00); the minimum observed, €57.03, falls there too on Tuesday 20 October 2026, ahead of €76.03 on Wednesday 11 August 2027. For two adults and two children with a car and a cabin, November 2026 is the low point on the average at €204.68 (from €178.00), with October 2026 next at €206.10, against €250.61 in July 2027; the lowest fare recorded on this profile is €68.03, on Tuesday 20 October 2026, ahead of €80.03 on Wednesday 11 August 2027 and €90.03 on Tuesday 10 August 2027.

Leaving from another port for Bastia. On the floor, Livorno comes fourth among the ports recorded towards Bastia: from €29.10 (€42.83 on average), via Corsica Ferries. Toulon opens the ranking, from €23.26 (€41.39 on average), ahead of Savona from €26.10 (€48.42 on average) and Nice from €26.26. At the bottom of the table, Genoa appears only with Moby Lines from €40.75 (€47.64 on average), Sète holds €41.00 at the minimum as on the average, and Marseille starts with Corsica Linea at €53.37 (€58.48 on average): Marseille and Savona are the two dearest departures on average towards Bastia. The ranking of averages does not copy the ranking of floors: Nice leads it, at €38.32, ahead of Sète at €41.00, Toulon at €41.39 and Livorno at €42.83, while Savona, second on the entry fare, falls back to second from last. Piombino does not appear in this comparison: no departure towards Bastia was recorded there on this profile at this snapshot.

On deck, Corsica Ferries holds the floor ahead of Cors'Express

On Livorno–Bastia, the foot passenger crossing also exists on deck, with no reserved reclining seat and no cabin. For one adult foot passenger, the floor recorded on this profile is €26.00, with Corsica Ferries, for a departure on Wednesday 23 September 2026, one-way. March 2027 is the cheapest month for this profile, at €31.91 on average; December 2026 is the dearest, at €46.59 on average.

For one adult on their own, the deck fare for foot passengers is sold by two companies on this route. Corsica Ferries stays the cheapest, from €26.00 and €36.13 on average.

Deck class for more than one passenger. For two adults, the recorded deck floor is €34.03 with Corsica Ferries, on Tuesday 20 October 2026, ahead of Moby Lines (from €56.50) and Cors'Express (€79.98 at the minimum as on the average).

For two adults and two children, the third company disappears from the readings: Corsica Ferries records the lowest floor, €38.03 on Tuesday 20 October 2026 (€112.79 on average), ahead of Cors'Express (€119.98 at the minimum as on the average).
