Bastia–Civitavecchia: what our readings show

On Bastia–Civitavecchia, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover departures from August to December 2026 and the four foot-passenger profiles tracked on deck — from a single adult to two adults and two children. Cors'Express is the only company recorded on this route. For one adult foot passenger on deck, the crossing starts from €39.99 and settles at €48.93 on average across the whole window observed.

A single company on the route

No comparison between companies is possible on Bastia–Civitavecchia: every fare below is Cors'Express's alone, one-way, by date and composition. For two adult foot passengers, deck starts from €79.98 (€97.87 on average); for two adults and one child, from €99.98 (€122.34 on average); for two adults and two children, from €119.98 (€146.81 on average).

November 2026 at the floor, August 2026 at the peak

For the adult foot passenger on deck, November 2026 carries the lowest monthly average of the window, €39.99 — a floor that holds through December 2026, at €39.99, with a departure recorded on 3 December 2026. August 2026 is the priciest by contrast, at €64.99 on average, and its floor gives no more ground: €64.99 at best (departure recorded on 28 August 2026), far above the autumn fare — the gap therefore reads on both measures at once. Between the two, September 2026 settles at €58.74 on average and October 2026 at €49.77.

The same trajectory recurs across the multi-traveller compositions. For two adults, the average moves from €129.98 in August 2026 to €117.48 in September, €99.54 in October, then €79.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and one child, it falls from €162.48 in August 2026 to €146.85 in September, €124.42 in October, then €99.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and two children, it moves from €194.98 in August 2026 to €176.23 in September, €149.31 in October, then €119.98 in November and December 2026. Across the four profiles, the minimum recorded as early as August 2026 — €129.98 for two adults, €162.48 for two adults and one child, €194.98 for two adults and two children — stays well above that of the months that follow, which does not move by a cent from September to December: €79.98, €99.98 and €119.98 depending on the composition. Once summer is over, it is the monthly average that comes down onto that floor, not the floor that falls.

Sunday and Thursday ahead of Monday and Friday

Among the weekdays tracked for deck, Sunday carries the lowest average for an adult foot passenger, €41.82, with Thursday next at €45.49. Monday settles at €56.66 and Friday brings up the rear at €64.99, the priciest day of the week on this route. Cors'Express does not sail every day on Bastia–Civitavecchia: our readings cover only Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

The same ranking recurs, at scale, across the three other profiles: for two adults, €83.65 on Sunday and €90.98 on Thursday against €113.31 on Monday and €129.98 on Friday; for two adults and one child, €104.56 and €113.73 against €141.65 and €162.48; for two adults and two children, €125.48 and €136.48 against €169.98 and €194.98. Across the four profiles tracked, Sunday holds the weekly floor, Thursday follows close behind, and Friday alone holds the peak.

The cheapest dates

For one adult foot passenger on deck, eight recorded departures all land at the same fare, €39.99: Sunday 8 November 2026, Thursday 3 December 2026, Thursday 19 November 2026, Sunday 22 November 2026, Monday 21 September 2026, Thursday 29 October 2026, Thursday 26 November 2026 and Sunday 4 October 2026. That floor is also the monthly minimum observed every month between September and December 2026: the room to manoeuvre lies less in the exact date than in the choice of month and weekday. The best round trip recorded on this profile pairs an outbound leg on 21 September 2026 at €39.99 with a return on 25 September 2026 at €39.99, or €79.98 for both legs, with Cors'Express in both directions.

A daytime crossing, fast, with no cabin

Cors'Express runs the Bastia–Civitavecchia route as a daytime crossing, fast, lasting about 3 hr 15 min according to the company. Departures take place on specific days of the week, not daily, and the schedule varies by season. Only foot passengers are carried: the company does not board vehicles on this route. On board, the installation is deck seating — lounge seats, no cabin, consistent with a daytime crossing; check-in is requested at least 1 hr 30 min before departure, closing 15 min before. Our figures cover only the observed deck fare, never a price displayed directly by the operator.

What these readings cover

In our readings, Civitavecchia is reached only from Bastia, and only on deck: no reclining-seat or cabin package has been observed on this route, and no other Corsican port serves Civitavecchia in our data. Our readings cover departures from August to December 2026, across the four foot-passenger profiles tracked — from a single adult to two adults and two children. The best price of the window for one adult foot passenger is €39.99, recorded on several dates from September to December 2026, while August 2026 remains the most expensive month, at €64.99 on average.
