Toulon–Bastia: what our readings of 1 July 2026 show
On Toulon–Bastia, every fare in our readings comes from Corsica Ferries. For the foot passenger in a reclining seat, the company takes all 261 of the cheapest dates retained; across the three car-and-cabin formulas, it takes all 270. No other company appears out of Toulon in this data.
Foot passenger in a reclining seat. The lowest ticket recorded is €27.60 on 27 July 2026, followed by €28.30 on 20 July and €29.00 on 6 July — three Mondays. The average across all dates works out at €39.45. Two readings to keep apart: September carries the lowest average (€36.75), tailed closely by October (€36.78); but the lowest floor falls in July (€27.60), while September's best price stays at €31.20. August is the most expensive month on average (€45.23), yet still dips to €30.30 on 25 August. January (€40.48 average) and December (€40.86) stay above the autumn.
With a car and a cabin, the seasonal trough moves. For 1 adult + car + cabin, the cheapest month on average is September (€134.50) and the dearest June (€177.33) — not August. The lowest fare on this formula is €76.00 on 13 July 2026, ahead of €82.00 on 17 September. The overall average reaches €144.27. The same pattern holds for 2 adults + car + cabin: lowest average in September (€163.50), highest in June (€212.22), floor at €98.00 on 13 July, overall average €175.93. For 2 adults + 2 children + car + cabin, September remains the cheapest month on average (€208.96) against June the dearest (€262.44); the best recorded price is €150.00 on 17 September 2026, and the average rises to €224.50.
The day-of-week effect is moderate. Thursday is the cheapest day across all four formulas: €36.66 for the foot passenger, €138.00 for 1 adult + car + cabin, €167.11 for 2 adults + car + cabin, €211.47 for the family. On the foot-passenger side, the gap between that Thursday and the dearest day, Sunday (€41.89), stays at around €5 (14%). Sunday is also the most expensive for 1 adult + car + cabin (€151.87) and for 2 adults + car + cabin (€184.74); Saturday brings up the rear for the family formula (€235.47).
Leaving from another port to reach Bastia. Toulon remains the cheapest departure (from €27.60, €39.45 on average, Corsica Ferries), but two Italian ports follow close behind with the same carrier: Savone from €28.90 (€42.74 on average) and Livourne from €30.00 (€40.43). Then come Nice (€30.20, Corsica Ferries), Piombino (€32.00) and Sète (€41.00). The dearest departures switch company: Genoa from €50.75 with Moby Lines (€59.69 on average) and Marseille from €54.37 with Corsica Linea (€71.59 on average).
