On the Bastia–Piombino crossing, a single company appears in our readings of 1 July 2026: Corsica Ferries. No other company is observed on this route, and no ship-sharing is recorded. The prices below are aggregates of dated observations, expressed either as a minimum ("from") or as an average ("on average") — two distinct measures that should not be read as one.
For a foot passenger with a reclining seat, the ticket starts at €33.90, recorded for the departure of 5 September 2026. In August, the recorded average reaches €58.96, with a floor at €35.70 on 31 August. The eight cheapest departures observed for this profile run from €33.90 (5 September) to €60.00 (15 August), all operated by Corsica Ferries.
Still for the foot passenger with a reclining seat, Sunday comes out at €40.45 on average, Monday at €50.90, Saturday at €60.48 and Friday at €86.00 — the dearest day recorded. The gap between Friday and Sunday reaches €45.55 on this single profile. Put differently, moving the same crossing from a Friday to a Sunday changes the scale of the ticket without any change of company, route or accommodation: on this crossing, the day of departure is the strongest lever the readings reveal.
With a car and a cabin, one adult pays from €121.00 (31 August), for an August average of €195.27 against €125.00 in September. For two adults with car and cabin, the fare starts at €149.00 and the August average reaches €245.55, while September settles at €154.00. For two adults and two children with car and cabin, the price starts from €191.00 (31 August); the August average climbs to €312.27, September's to €200.00. On this family configuration, Friday reaches €469.00 on average, against €217.00 on Sunday. The pattern seen on the foot-passenger ticket therefore repeats, amplified, once a vehicle and a cabin join the booking: the very end of August and the September departures carry the low fares, while Friday concentrates the highest averages.
Our data covers only two months for this route: August and September 2026. In September, the recorded average and the recorded floor coincide for every profile (€33.90 for the foot passenger with a reclining seat, €200.00 for two adults and two children with car and cabin) — a sign that the September departures observed all sit at the same level rather than spreading across a range. Across all profiles, August is more expensive on average than the September reading. Any seasonal conclusion beyond these two months would stretch further than the data allows, so the comparison stops there.
