Porto-Vecchio–Nice: what our readings show

On the Porto-Vecchio–Nice route, a single company appears in our readings of 22 August 2026: Corsica Ferries, for one adult foot passenger in a reclining seat. The crossing comes out at €37.60, minimum and average alike: a single departure now feeds the aggregates for this profile, the one on Wednesday 23 September 2026. The monthly and day-of-week averages below therefore describe one observation, not a trend.

A single month recorded, September 2026

That month is both the floor and the peak of the window covered: €37.60 on average, €37.60 at the minimum, for the departure on 23 September 2026, sold by Corsica Ferries. No other month appears in this monthly reading for the foot passenger in a reclining seat. On this route and this profile, our readings therefore cannot place that level against a neighbouring summer or autumn month: the month-by-month comparison that structures the other routes to Nice has a single point of support here.

A single departure day recorded, Wednesday

The same departure drives the day-of-week reading. Wednesday comes out at €37.60 on average, a figure that coincides with the route minimum since that day carries only one recorded departure. The other days do not appear on this profile: the gap from one day to the next, measurable elsewhere, is not measurable here. A reader looking to play on the departure day will find more to work with from Bastia or Propriano, where several days are recorded towards Nice.

The cheapest dates

The ranking fits on one line. The cheapest date recorded is Wednesday 23 September 2026, at €37.60 with Corsica Ferries. It is also the highest price recorded on this profile, for want of a second date to bracket it. As long as the list holds a single departure, there is no date arbitrage to be had on Porto-Vecchio–Nice for a foot passenger in a reclining seat: the choice moves to the port of departure.

A single company on the route

Corsica Ferries is the only company recorded on this route for this profile, at €37.60 as a minimum and as an average. No ship-sharing arrangement appears here: the fare is not compared from one company to another, but from one date to another — and our readings hold only one on this profile. According to the company, the crossing runs overnight, in about 13 hours, with an evening departure and a mid-morning arrival the next day. Boarding, again according to the company, is 30 minutes before departure for a foot passenger, one hour before with a vehicle.

Leaving from another port for Nice

The port of departure weighs on the fare to reach Nice, and five Corsican ports appear in our readings, all with Corsica Ferries. The lowest entry fare goes to Propriano, at €26.00 for a departure on 21 October 2026 (€35.50 on average), ahead of L'Île-Rousse at €33.00 on 6 September 2026 (€55.18 on average). Bastia follows at €32.00 on 4 September 2026 (€52.31 on average), then Porto-Vecchio at €37.60 on 23 September 2026 (€37.60 on average). Ajaccio closes this reading, at €73.00 on 25 August 2026.

On averages, the order is reshuffled without changing at the top. Propriano keeps the lowest level of the five, at €35.50, ahead of Porto-Vecchio (€37.60) and Bastia (€52.31); L'Île-Rousse (€55.18) and Ajaccio (€80.00) bring up the rear. L'Île-Rousse, second on entry fare, thus ends up second-to-last on averages: the two readings do not rank the quays in the same order, and the port with the best minimum is not always the one holding the best overall level.

Round trip: no pair of dates in this direction

A round trip only comes together when two recorded crossings answer each other, one in each direction, on dates that follow on. On Porto-Vecchio–Nice that condition is not met: the single departure observed on this profile finds no later return in our readings to pair with. The opposite direction, Nice–Porto-Vecchio, is the subject of separate readings, on its own dates. As long as the route yields only one departure within our window, the trade-off shifts towards the port of embarkation rather than the pair of dates: the other Corsican ports recorded towards Nice do open several departures.

What these readings cover

Our readings cover the Porto-Vecchio–Nice crossings of Corsica Ferries for one adult foot passenger in a reclining seat, plus the Corsican ports serving Nice: Propriano, L'Île-Rousse, Bastia, Porto-Vecchio and Ajaccio. On this profile the window covered comes down to one departure, that of 23 September 2026: the monthly and weekly averages shown above follow directly from it, and none of them reflects seasonality. Formulas with a vehicle and a cabin are not recorded on this route at this date.
