Ferries to Corsica
Search for ferries from France and Italy to Corsica. Compare ports, departure times and fares before booking, whether you are travelling by car, motorhome, motorcycle or on foot.
Ferry travel is particularly convenient when you want to bring a car, carry more luggage and begin your holiday at a gentler pace. You can compare several departure and arrival ports, then choose a daytime or overnight sailing to suit your itinerary.
Compare routes from Nice, Toulon, Savona, Piombino and Livorno to ports including Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, L’Île-Rousse and Porto-Vecchio.
On many ferries, the crossing gives you time for a meal, a coffee, some rest or a cabin before your island holiday begins.
With your own car on the island, it is easier to combine beaches, mountains, small towns and spontaneous detours without fixed transport times.
Popular sailings can sell out, especially when travelling with a car or motorhome, booking a cabin or choosing a particular overnight departure.
Fares and journey times can vary between France and Italy. Consider the departure port, arrival port and your onward drive in Corsica.
When travelling with a dog, cat or smaller pet, check cabin options, carriers, vaccination requirements and lead rules before booking.
Corsica is exceptionally well suited to a driving holiday. Many of its finest experiences are spread across mountains, coastal roads, beaches and small harbour towns. Travelling by ferry lets you bring your car and plan a far more flexible journey around the island.
Several routes connect the mainland with Corsica, including sailings from ports in southern France and northern Italy. Services are often frequent during busy periods, and both daytime and overnight crossings make it easier to fit the ferry into the rest of your holiday.
For many travellers, the ferry becomes part of the holiday itself. You can eat on board, relax during the crossing and arrive in Corsica ready to continue your journey. Always compare the port, sailing time, cabin, vehicle category and total fare before booking.
Choose a port based on where you are travelling from and where you are heading in Corsica. Nice and Toulon often work well from southern France, while Livorno, Piombino and Savona can be convenient choices from Italy.
An overnight ferry can be efficient when you have a long drive. The crossing may replace a hotel night and give you a calmer start to the day when you arrive.
