Bastia–Piombino: what our readings show
On the Bastia–Piombino route, our readings from 22 August 2026 cover departures in August and September 2026. Two months only, and two months that diverge sharply on each of the profiles tracked. The prices quoted always distinguish the observed minimum from the average of the observations.
A single company on the route
Every crossing observed between Bastia and Piombino is sold by Corsica Ferries, from the foot-passenger ticket to the packages with a car and a cabin. There is no comparison between companies and no codeshare gap to read here. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €42.00 and comes out at €66.94 on average across all the dates recorded.
August 2026 at the peak, September 2026 at the floor
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, August 2026 carries an average of €73.00 and drops to a minimum of €42.00, reached on 31 August 2026: the range of August fares is wide. September 2026 works differently: minimum and average meet on a single value, €42.70, recorded on 5 September 2026 — the cheapest month of the window for this profile.
The same contrast repeats with a vehicle. For one adult, a car and a cabin, August 2026 settles at €206.50 on average for a minimum of €144.00, while September 2026 holds at €134.00 as a minimum and as an average alike. For two adults with a car and a cabin, August 2026 reaches €258.00 on average and a floor of €179.00, September 2026 coming back to €162.00. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, August 2026 climbs to €348.25 on average for a minimum of €229.00, September 2026 to €208.00. Across all the dates recorded, those three profiles come out respectively at €192.00, €238.80 and €320.20 on average.
Monday, the cheapest day recorded
The departure day weighs heavily, and our readings cover only two of them: Monday and Saturday. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, Monday carries the lowest average, €46.50, while Saturday sits clearly above, at €80.57. The motorised packages repeat the same pattern, without exception: for one adult with a car and a cabin, €169.00 on Monday against €207.33 on Saturday; for two adults, €211.00 against €257.33; for two adults and two children, €268.00 against €355.00. On each of the four profiles, Monday is the cheapest day recorded, and the gap with Saturday widens as the basket grows heavier.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the best price of the window goes to Monday 31 August 2026, at €42.00. Saturday 5 September 2026 follows at €42.70, less than a euro behind: the two best dates on the route are nearly indistinguishable, even though they fall in two different months. Monday 24 August 2026 still holds at €51.00, then the list steps up: Saturday 29 August 2026 asks €77.00, and Saturday 22 August 2026 closes it at €122.00, close to three times the best departure.
On the average by day, the cheapest day remains Monday, at €46.50; the best date of the window, for its part, falls on a Monday. That same weekday also closes the list, on the dearest departure of the ranking. Day averages and actual dates do not point the same way.
The motorised packages turn the top of the ranking around. For one adult with a car and a cabin, it's Saturday 5 September 2026 that opens the list, at €134.00, ahead of Monday 31 August 2026 at €144.00 — the reverse order of the foot-passenger ticket. Then follow Monday 24 August 2026 at €194.00, Saturday 22 August 2026 at €223.00, then Saturday 29 August 2026 at €265.00.
For two adults, the same dates follow in the same order: €162.00, €179.00, €243.00, €278.00 then €332.00. For two adults and two children, the top does not move — €208.00 on 5 September 2026, then €229.00 on 31 August 2026 —, but the bottom of the list flips: Saturday 29 August 2026 moves ahead of Saturday 22 August 2026, at €416.00 against €441.00. Two more children are enough to reshuffle the last ranks.
What these readings cover
Our data covers departures in August and September 2026 only. Within that window, Piombino is served from Bastia alone: no other Corsican port appears towards this destination, from €42.00 for a foot passenger in a reclining seat and €66.94 on average, the best price having been recorded for a departure on 31 August 2026. In September 2026, across the four profiles, minimum and average coincide, around the single day of 5 September 2026.
