A single company on the route
On Toulon–Ajaccio, our readings of 5 September 2026 turn up only one company: Corsica Ferries. On each of the four profiles tracked, every fare recorded carries that same company; no other appears on this route, so there is no shared-vessel gap to arbitrate. The useful comparison here is not between companies, but between months, between days of the week and between departure ports. According to Corsica Ferries, the route runs on daily departures all year round, by day and by night, taking about 9 hrs by day and about 11 hrs by night.
The foot-passenger monthly floor in November 2026, the peak in May 2027
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the cheapest month on average is November 2026, at €34.70, with a monthly floor of €30.00 on 13 November 2026. The dearest month on average is May 2027, at €42.74. Behind November come December 2026 (€36.48 on average), March 2027 (€38.90) then October 2026 (€40.68): the trough of the window straddles the two years, but two autumn 2026 months carry it.
September 2026 shows plainly that the two metrics do not tell the same story: its average, €40.78, sits in the upper half of the window, while its minimum, €29.60, is the second lowest of every month recorded. On the minimums, the head of the ranking changes: October 2026 drops to €28.03, ahead of September 2026, then November 2026 at €30.00 and December 2026 at €31.00. At the other end, three 2027 months stop at exactly the same threshold, €38.00 — January, February and April — while March 2027 goes a little lower, to €37.00.
The calendar shifts as soon as a car and a cabin are added. For one adult with a car and a cabin as for two adults, the lowest monthly average goes to November 2026 — €141.53 and €170.77, from €115.00 and €142.00. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, that trough sits elsewhere, in November 2026, at €215.83 on average and from €186.00. The three motorised packages do share the same peak, April 2027: €163.70, €195.87 and €244.47 depending on the make-up. The foot passenger is the only one paying a high point in May 2027.
The foot-passenger floor on 22 October 2026, the one-adult motorised floor on 17 May 2027
The lowest fare in our readings for a foot passenger falls on Thursday 22 October 2026, at €28.03 — a month before the trough of the averages, which belongs to November 2026. Next come Wednesday 28 October 2026 at €28.20, Monday 26 October 2026 at €29.20, Saturday 5 September 2026 at €29.60 and Friday 13 November 2026 at €30.00. Three December 2026 days close that ranking level with one another, €30.60: Friday 23 October 2026, Friday 27 November 2026 and Friday 4 December 2026. The eight cheapest dates spread from September to December 2026, and six of them fall between Monday and Friday.
With a vehicle, the floor changes season depending on the make-up. For one adult with a car and a cabin, the cheapest day is Monday 17 May 2027, at €94.03, ahead of €102.00 on Thursday 15 October 2026. For two adults as with two children, the minimum swings to a date the following spring, Monday 17 May 2027: €96.03 for two adults, €100.03 for two adults and two children. On those two packages, the next two readings tie within each profile — €116.03 for two adults, €120.03 with two children — on Sunday 16 May 2027 and Saturday 15 May 2027: those isolated days are not enough to make May 2027 a cheap month on average, and it is in fact the dearest of the window for the foot passenger. Over the whole window, the per-profile averages come to €39.66 for the foot passenger, €152.89 for one motorised adult, €183.61 for two and €230.30 for the family.
Sunday, the dearest across all four packages
Read day by day, the four profiles agree on one point: Sunday is the dearest everywhere. For the foot passenger, the full order runs from Tuesday (€38.03 on average) to Sunday (€41.66), by way of Wednesday (€38.35), Monday (€38.23), Thursday (€39.35), Friday (€40.68) and Sunday (€41.66).
With a car and a cabin, the low point changes camp: Thursday holds the lowest average for one adult (€149.68) as for two (€179.63), while Thursday takes the lead back for two adults and two children (€224.80). The two days follow each other closely every time: Wednesday is second for one adult (€150.49) as for two (€180.40), Monday second for the family (€225.35). Saturday tops the seven days on those three profiles, at €157.30, €189.33 and €237.23, as it does on foot. It is in the middle of the ranking that the order reshuffles: Friday holds second-dearest place on the three motorised packages, Sunday holding it on foot.
Leaving from another port for Ajaccio
For reaching Ajaccio, Toulon carries the lowest entry fare of the ports recorded: from €28.03 for a departure on 22 October 2026, for €39.66 on average. Nice starts at €35.00 on 27 September 2026 (€35.00 on average, Corsica Ferries), Marseille at €35.00 on 29 September 2026 (€38.50 on average, with Corsica Ferries) and Sète at €35.82 on 6 November 2026 (€38.62 on average, La Méridionale). On the average, the order turns almost completely around: Nice moves to the front at €35.00, floor and average being one and the same, Sète comes second at €38.50, Marseille third at €38.62, and Toulon, first on the floor, brings up the rear at €39.66: the two metrics do not rank the ports in the same order.
On a foot-passenger return trip, the combination recorded pairs the outward leg of 13 November 2026 at €30.00 with the return of 4 December 2026 at €28.00, that is €58.00 in all, both legs with Corsica Ferries.
What these readings cover
These amounts cover observed crossings, aggregated as of 5 September 2026.
