Nice–Ajaccio: what our readings show
On Nice–Ajaccio, a single company appears in our readings of 22 August 2026: Corsica Ferries. It carries every fare observed, across the four profiles we track and the two documented months of the window, August 2026 and September 2026. The amounts below are aggregates of dated observations, expressed either as a minimum ("from") or as an average — two distinct measures, neither of which can be deduced from the other.
August 2026 at the floor on foot, September 2026 with a car
For an adult foot passenger, reclining seat, the cheapest month of the recorded window is August 2026: €30.90, entry fare and average alike, on a departure of 22 August 2026. September 2026 sits above, at €35.00, again with no gap between its floor and its average.
As soon as a car and a cabin enter the basket, the two months swap places. One adult is recorded at €136.00 in August 2026, minimum and average alike, against €136.00 in September 2026. For two adults with a car and a cabin the direction holds: €167.00 on the lower month, against €167.00 on the other. For two adults and two children with a car and a cabin, the two months move closer: €213.00 on one side, €213.00 on the other. On each of the four profiles the month's minimum and average coincide, and the dearest month on foot is also the cheapest one once the car and the cabin are added.
Saturday cheapest on foot, Sunday with a car
At this date our readings cover only two days of the week on this route, and the order between those two days depends on the package. For the foot passenger, reclining seat, Saturday holds the lowest average, €30.90, against €35.00 on Sunday. With a car and a cabin the order flips: Saturday comes ahead, at €130.00 for one adult, against €136.00 on Sunday. For two adults the gap runs between €156.00 and €167.00; for two adults and two children, between €198.00 and €213.00. Each of those two days carries a single recorded month here, so the day-by-day reading and the month-by-month reading say the same thing.
The cheapest dates
Two departures stand out in our readings, and their order changes with the package. On the foot passenger, reclining seat profile, Saturday 22 August 2026 carries the floor, €30.90, with Corsica Ferries, ahead of Sunday 27 September 2026 at €35.00. On the three packages with a car and a cabin, those two dates swap: Saturday 22 August 2026 moves to the front, at €130.00 for one adult with a car and a cabin, €156.00 for two adults and €198.00 for two adults and two children, against €136.00, €167.00 and €213.00 on Sunday 27 September 2026. No other departure date is documented on the route at this date.
As a return trip on the foot passenger, reclining seat profile, our readings give an outward leg on 22 August 2026 at €30.90 and a return on 25 August 2026 at €73.00, both with Corsica Ferries, or €103.90 for the two legs. On those two dates, the return weighs more than the outward leg.
Leaving from another port for Ajaccio
Ajaccio can also be reached from other mainland ports, at price levels that differ from one departure point to the next. Ranked by entry fare for the foot passenger, reclining seat, Toulon comes first, from €28.20 via Corsica Ferries, on a departure of 28 October 2026. Nice follows at €30.90 (departure of 22 August 2026), ahead of Marseille at €34.92 via La Méridionale (departure of 23 August 2026) and Sète at €30.00 via Corsica Ferries (departure of 29 September 2026).
On average, the ranking is reshuffled. Nice moves to the front at €32.95, though it was only second on the entry fare; Toulon, which holds the lowest floor of the comparison, comes back at €39.01, just ahead of Sète and its €36.00. Marseille brings up the rear at €39.45. From one port to the next the price is not the same — and the port with the lowest floor is not the one holding the lowest average.
