Getting to Corsica by ferry
The cost of a ferry to Corsica depends on a multitude of factors. Naturally, a short crossing is cheaper than an overnight journey on a cruise ferry, but even on a specific ferry route, prices can increase rapidly as the ferry fills up, or if you're travelling with a large family and a car.
Corsica has roughly five major ports where ferries from Italy and France arrive. You can travel to Bastia, Ile Rousse, Ajaccio, Propriano, and Porto Vecchio. Below, you will find the various options, including information about travel time, distance, and other crossing characteristics.
From France & Italy to Corsica
The ferries from France to Corsica leave from the ports of Nice, Marseille and Toulon. From Italy, ferries depart from Genoa, Savona and Piombino.
Travelling and Staying in Corsica
The ferry to Corsica is a good alternative to the plane because the flights to this island are quite pricey.
If you go by car, make sure you are at the port on time. Especially in the summer, it can be very busy on the southern French roads and at the ferry service. You would do well to plan your route carefully. You can also consider staying overnight at one of the departure ports. Then you know for sure that you can get to the ferry on time.
Corsica is quite large, and there are no major highways. The roads are winding, and when we were there ourselves, it took us much longer to complete our journey than we had initially estimated.
So plan your route well. It can be very useful to book a ferry close to your accommodation instead of travelling a greater distance by car.

This map is quite a maze, can you tell me more about which route tourists most regularly or most often take to Corsica from mainland Europe?
To answer your question: It doesn't really matter that much which ferry you take for this connection.
The most used one is probably Nice – Ile Rousse, but they are all quite similar. If you take the ferry from Toulon for instance it's much easier to park your car. (EUR 12 for one day) So for different reasons you can make a decision here!
Good luck with your trip!
