Civitavecchia–Bastia: what our readings show

On the Civitavecchia–Bastia route, our readings of 22 August 2026 cover a single company, Cors'Express, deck only, with no cabin or reserved reclining seat, across the four foot-passenger profiles tracked and departures from August to December 2026. For an adult foot passenger, the deck fare starts from €39.99 and comes to €47.19 on average across the whole window tracked.

A single company on the route

With no second company recorded on Civitavecchia–Bastia, there is neither a gap between companies nor a codeshare to flag: the fares that follow are Cors'Express's alone, one-way. For two adult foot passengers, deck starts from €79.98 (€94.38 on average); for two adults and one child, from €99.98 (€118.75 on average); for two adults and two children, from €119.98 (€143.12 on average). One recorded round trip pairs a departure on 4 September 2026 at €39.99 with a return on 21 September 2026 at €39.99, for €79.98 in total for an adult foot passenger.

August 2026 at the top, November 2026 at the floor

For the adult foot passenger on deck, August 2026 is the most expensive month of the window, at €59.99 on average, for a minimum that itself stays at €59.99 (departure recorded on 24 August 2026) — the gap therefore plays out on the monthly average, not on its floor. November 2026 is the cheapest by contrast, at €39.99, a floor that holds through December 2026, at €39.99. In between, September 2026 eases back to €54.99 on average and October 2026 to €47.99.

The same trajectory recurs across the multi-traveller compositions. For two adults, the average falls from €119.98 in August 2026 to €109.98 in September, €95.98 in October, then €79.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and one child, it moves from €152.98 in August 2026 to €139.73 in September, €119.98 in October, then €99.98 in November and December 2026. For two adults and two children, it falls from €185.98 in August 2026 to €169.48 in September, €143.98 in October, then €119.98 in November and December 2026. Across the four profiles, the minimum recorded as early as August 2026 already matches November's and December's: it is the monthly average that tightens as autumn advances, not the floor fare.

Thursday rather than Monday

Among the weekdays recorded for deck, Thursday comes out as the cheapest day for an adult foot passenger, at €41.49 on average, ahead of Sunday at €44.49, then Friday at €51.99 and Monday at €59.99. The same ranking recurs for two adults (€82.98 on Thursday, €88.98 on Sunday, €103.98 on Friday, €119.98 on Monday), for two adults and one child (€103.73, €111.23, €131.78, €152.98) and for two adults and two children (€124.48, €133.48, €159.58, €185.98). Across the four profiles tracked, Thursday stays pinned to the route's floor and Monday alone holds its peak.

The cheapest dates

For an adult foot passenger on deck, eight recorded departures all land at the same fare, €39.99: Thursday 26 November 2026, Sunday 6 December 2026, Sunday 29 November 2026, Sunday 8 November 2026, Friday 25 September 2026, Friday 4 September 2026, Thursday 12 November 2026 and Sunday 15 November 2026. That €39.99 floor is also the monthly minimum observed every month between August and December 2026: the room to manoeuvre lies less in the exact date than in the choice of month and weekday.

Leaving from another port for Bastia

Civitavecchia is not the cheapest port for reaching Bastia on deck. Toulon opens lowest, from €24.00 with Corsica Ferries (€33.41 on average, departure recorded on 1 September 2026), ahead of Livorno at €23.00 (€34.28 on average, on 16 September 2026), Savona at €26.00 (€33.70 on average, on 22 October 2026), Nice at €23.00 (€34.10 on average, on 13 September 2026), Piombino at €29.00 (€33.00 on average, on 22 August 2026) and Sète at €31.00 at the minimum as on the average, a departure recorded on 27 October 2026. Genoa shows the same minimum as Civitavecchia, €36.75 (€40.73 on average, departure recorded on 25 September 2026, also with Moby Lines).

On average the ranking tips over: Sète, whose floor only ranks sixth, takes the lead, every one of its readings holding at €31.00. Toulon and Livourne follow a few cents apart (€33.41 against €34.28), then Savone at €33.70. Civitavecchia, for its part, moves ahead of Gênes even though their minimums are identical.
