€35.00 on Tuesday 29 September 2026: that is the cheapest crossing in our readings of 14 September 2026 on Sète–Ajaccio, for an adult foot passenger in a reclining seat, with Corsica Ferries. Only one company appears on this route, and for now our readings cover the foot-passenger profile alone. The observed window is limited to September and October 2026.
Sète–Ajaccio: what our readings show
Across the two recorded departures, the average settles at €38.50 with Corsica Ferries, against a floor of €35.00. The two dates read in a straight line: €35.00 on Tuesday 29 September 2026, €42.00 on Sunday 25 October 2026. From one month to the next, the same foot-passenger crossing goes from €35.00 to €42.00.
Only two departure days appear: Tuesday, at €35.00 on average, and Sunday, at €42.00. Each carries only a single reading, so here the day and the month coincide: the September Tuesday marks the low point, the October Sunday the high point.
For a round trip, the combination recorded pairs the Tuesday 29 September 2026 outbound at €35.00 with an Ajaccio–Sète return on Monday 26 October 2026 at €34.20, for €69.20 in total, with Corsica Ferries in both directions.
September 2026 at the floor, October 2026 at the peak
September 2026 is the cheapest month of the window: €35.00, minimum and average alike, on the 29 September departure. October 2026 climbs back to €42.00, again minimum and average alike, with Sunday 25 October.
The gap therefore holds within six euros between the only two months recorded. June, July and August 2026 do not appear in our readings of 14 September 2026, nor do the winter months; the comparison stops at the two months observed. These gaps read as a window of a few weeks, not as a year-round seasonality.
An overnight crossing, one departure a week
Corsica Ferries describes an overnight crossing of about fourteen hours: departure in the late afternoon, arrival around 08:00 the next morning. The service the company advertises is seasonal, generally with one departure per week. Boarding, according to the company, is 30 minutes before departure on foot and 1 hour with a vehicle.
That weekly rhythm limits the number of dates on offer. Few departures mean few points of comparison — each observed date carries that much more weight in how the prices read.
Leaving from another port for Ajaccio
Other ports appear in our readings towards Ajaccio. Toulon holds the lowest floor: from €27.26 with Corsica Ferries for a departure on 1 January 2027, at €42.73 on average. Nice starts at €35.00 on 29 September 2026 with Corsica Ferries, at €38.50 on average. Marseille follows at €35.82 on 26 November 2026 with La Méridionale, the only other company appearing in this comparison between departure ports, at €44.00 on average.
On the entry price, Sète brings up the rear with its €41.00. On the average, the order turns around almost entirely: Nice takes the lead at €38.50, ahead of Marseille at €44.00 and Sète at €41.00, while Toulon, which held the lowest floor, drops to last at €42.73. The port with the best entry price is therefore not the one holding the best average: the entry price and the average level do not rank the ports in the same order.
What these readings cover
Our readings deal with a single profile: an adult foot passenger in a reclining seat. Vehicle-inclusive compositions and cabins are not yet recorded on this route. The window is limited to September and October 2026; the other months do not appear in it.
What remains is what the figures say as of 14 September 2026: on Sète–Ajaccio, the same foot-passenger crossing moves from €35.00 on 29 September to €42.00 on 25 October 2026.
