Bastia–Genoa: what our readings show
On Bastia–Genoa, Moby Lines operates, across our readings of 22 August 2026, the reclining seat and the car-and-cabin packages. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the average comes to €62.23, from €46.88. With a car and a cabin, one adult works out at €129.64 on average, from €97.64; two adults at €178.65, from €135.52; two adults and two children at €260.54, from €206.28.
Cors'Express cheaper on average than Moby Lines on deck
Beyond the reclining seat and the car-and-cabin package described above, our readings also cover a deck fare (deck passage, without a booked cabin or reclining seat) on Bastia–Genoa, sold by two companies: Cors'Express and Moby Lines. Cors'Express runs a fast ferry: a fast crossing, without a cabin — a product distinct from the reclining seat and the car-and-cabin package described above, both operated in daytime by Moby Lines. Duration and frequency vary by company.
For a single adult on deck, Cors'Express is the cheapest on our readings, at the minimum as on average: €39.99 and €43.40. Moby Lines follows at €52.38 on average, from €42.88. In November 2026, the deck fare does not move by a cent: €39.99 as both average and minimum, on a Cors'Express departure recorded on 13 November 2026, one way.
On the larger compositions, the advantage does not change sides: Cors'Express keeps both the better average and the better minimum on all three profiles. For two adults, it holds €86.80 on average (from €79.98) against €99.76 at Moby Lines — whose floor, €80.76, stays above. For two adults and one child, same configuration: €108.51 on average at Cors'Express (from €99.98) against €134.89 at Moby Lines, whose minimum goes no lower than €111.14. For two adults and two children, the gap widens: €130.22 on average and €119.98 at the minimum, against €170.02 on average and €141.52 at the minimum at Moby Lines.
Across the days of the week tracked for deck, Saturday comes out lowest for a single adult, at €47.14 on average, with Sunday just behind at €44.16, then Friday at €45.25, Tuesday at €44.16 and Thursday at €44.99; Monday closes the field at €49.55. August 2026 is the most expensive month of the window for this profile, at €55.95 on average, against €44.19 in September 2026 and €43.19 in October, November and December 2026.
August 2026 at the top, September 2026 lower
For the reclining seat and the car-and-cabin packages, the window recorded spans two months, August and September 2026. For the foot passenger in a reclining seat, the August 2026 average reaches €75.31, against €56.51 in September 2026. The minimum goes the other way: €47.88 on 31 August 2026, against €46.88 on 21 September 2026.
With a car and a cabin, the gap between the two months widens. One adult works out at €161.07 on average in August 2026, from €103.64, recorded on 31 August 2026, then falls back to €115.89 in September 2026, from €97.64. For two adults, the average moves from €218.81 in August 2026 to €161.08 in September; the floors settle at €142.52 on 31 August 2026, then €135.52 on 20 September 2026. For two adults and two children, August 2026 holds €309.42 on average with a minimum at €214.28, and September 2026 comes back down to €239.16, from €206.28. Across the four profiles, August 2026 is the most expensive month on average of the window recorded — while sheltering, each time, the cheapest departure.
Monday rather than Saturday
Monday is the best day across the four profiles operated by Moby Lines. For the foot passenger in a reclining seat, it comes out at €54.55 on average, ahead of Sunday at €58.05, while Friday rises to €61.68 and Saturday to €74.55. With a car and a cabin, the gap widens. For one adult, Monday drops to €117.64 when Saturday holds €142.31; for two adults, €162.19 on Monday against €196.52 on Saturday; for two adults and two children, €239.61 against €283.61. Sunday sits in the middle throughout: €120.81 for a motorised adult, €168.52 for two, €249.11 for the family, with Friday slotting in at €139.44, €189.12 and €271.68. On these four profiles, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover only these four days of the week.

For two adults and two children, the same order at the top: €206.28 on Monday 21 September 2026, €206.28 on Sunday 20 September 2026, €209.28 on Sunday 13 September 2026, then a €214.28 plateau across the last five dates.
On a return trip, the best pairing recorded for a foot passenger in a reclining seat stays with Moby Lines on both sides: an outward leg on 20 September 2026 at €46.88 and a return on 25 September 2026 at €40.75, or €87.63 for both legs.
