Ferry to Bastia: which port should you sail from?

Which port is cheapest for a ferry to Bastia?

Over the months ahead, as recorded on 24 September 2026, the leading port changes with the formula: Toulon for a foot passenger in a reclining seat; Livorno for one adult alone with a car, two adults with a car and a family of four with a car. With a car, the comparison is made cabin included.

From France only, for two adults with a car, in a cabin, Toulon is the cheapest departure port from October 2026 to May 2027, except in January, February and March 2027, when Marseille moves ahead.

Month by month, which port should you sail from for Bastia with a car?

Over the months ahead, the second port costs from 0.3% more than the first (December 2026) to 31.0% more (August 2027). Over the months already gone, the sharpest gap dates from August 2026: €152.21 from Genoa, €165.00 from Piombino, that is 8.4% more.

And on foot, does the ranking change?

For one adult on foot, in a reclining seat, Toulon is the cheapest departure port from October 2026 to August 2027, except in October 2026, February and March 2027, when Livorno moves ahead. In July 2026, the recorded median ranged from €38.00 from Toulon to €110.37 from Marseille.

Each port in brief: crossing and lowest recorded price

The crossing time and type are those the companies state. The floor is the lowest price we have recorded for an upcoming departure to Bastia, for two adults with a car, in a cabin.

Sète does not enter any ranking: too few departure days recorded within a single month for a median to mean anything.

How this ranking is built

Each cell is a median. For each departure day, we keep the lowest price recorded from the port, all companies included, one-way, at the public non-resident fare; the median runs over the days of the month. For a month already gone, it is the last price recorded before each departure; for a month ahead, the price shown on the day of the reading.

Two ports are only compared on an identical formula. A port is ranked for a month only if it was recorded there on enough days, and not when its sales, or our readings, cover only part of the month. The price is the crossing's: the road to the port is not in it. Our readings start on 14 June 2026.
