Marseille–Porto-Vecchio: what our readings show

Our readings of 22 August 2026 cover departures from August to December 2026, then dates in January 2027. The entry fare of the window belongs to the foot passenger in a reclining seat: €33.78 one way. That fare turns up not once but eight times, between 23 September and 26 October 2026 — it is the stable late-season floor on this route, not an isolated date.

A single company on the route

La Méridionale is the only company recorded on the direct crossing between Marseille and Porto-Vecchio. No codeshare is observed here. Its averages across all dates run from €38.80 for the foot passenger in a reclining seat to €148.96 for one adult with a car and a cabin, €179.18 for two adults and €227.07 for two adults and two children.

August 2026 at the peak, October 2026 at the floor

For the foot passenger in a reclining seat, the window opens high: August 2026 shows €57.53 on average, coming down no further than €55.78. The drop arrives with the autumn: September 2026 settles at €40.55 on average, then October 2026 becomes the cheapest month of the window, at €35.78 on average and from €33.78. November 2026 (€36.78), December 2026 (€36.93) and January 2027 (€36.78) stay bunched just above. On this profile, the summer and the late season are not playing in the same order of magnitude.

Wednesday rather than Monday

Our readings contain departures only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on this route; the other days are not comparable. Among those three, Wednesday is the cheapest for the foot passenger in a reclining seat, at €38.23 on average, ahead of Friday (€39.48) and Monday (€38.68). The same ranking recurs, amplified, on the motorised packages: for one adult with a car and a cabin, Wednesday holds €140.73 on average against €157.48 on Friday. Five of the eight foot-passenger crossings at €33.78 fall on a Wednesday — 23 and 30 September 2026, then 7, 14 and 21 October 2026 — two on a Monday, 12 and 26 October 2026, and one on a Friday, 2 October 2026.

With a car and a cabin, November 2026 the lowest

Adding a vehicle and a cabin moves the trough from October to November. For one adult with a car and a cabin, August 2026 is the dearest month, at €202.98 on average and from €147.48; November 2026 is the lowest, at €130.10 on average and from €125.48, ahead of January 2027 (€130.48, minimum and average alike). September 2026 holds €186.33 on average and October 2026 €135.79. The floor for this profile across the whole window, €125.48, recurs in late September and in October 2026: on 23 and 30 September, then on 2, 7, 9, 12, 26 and 30 October 2026.

For two adults with a car and a cabin, the average runs from €251.76 in August 2026 to €156.88 in November 2026, ahead of €157.26 in January 2027, with a window floor of €152.26 recorded from late September to early November 2026. For two adults and two children, the average peaks at €321.32 in August 2026, comes back down to €272.20 in September 2026 and to €211.36 in October 2026, then settles at €200.44 in November 2026, just under the €200.82 of January 2027; the lowest reading on this profile is €195.82, from 23 September to 2 November 2026.

Leaving from another port for Porto-Vecchio

Three mainland ports are recorded towards Porto-Vecchio, and the ranking flips depending on the metric. Marseille holds the lowest entry fare, €33.78 with La Méridionale, but €38.80 on average. Toulon starts at €34.60 with Corsica Ferries, for a departure of 18 September 2026, for €34.60 on average, the highest of the three. Nice starts at €32.30 with Corsica Ferries for a departure on 22 September 2026 — the highest entry fare, by ten cents — and yet carries the lowest average of the three, €37.65. Choosing on the entry fare alone leads to Marseille; choosing on the average leads to Nice.

What these readings cover

These prices are one-way fares, expressed as the basket total for the make-up, and aggregated both as a minimum ("from") and as an average ("on average") — two distinct figures. A foot-passenger return trip assembled from two departures actually recorded comes to €68.40: €33.78 outbound on 21 September 2026 and €34.62 back on 20 October 2026, with La Méridionale in both directions. The opposite direction, Porto-Vecchio–Marseille, is the subject of separate readings.
