Livorno Bastia ferry Shipping companies, check-in and fares
Every year, many holidaymakers choose the Livorno Bastia ferry to start their holiday in Corsica. The ferry service between the Tuscan port and Corsica's main port is an ideal way to reach the French island. At around 4 hours and 30 minutes, the crossing time is shorter than many alternative routes and the fares on this route are often the best. It is also a more dynamic way of travelling and, in many cases, more environmentally friendly.
TIP : An alternative is the Genoa to Bastia crossing. Alternatively, you can choose to sail from Piombino to the port of Bastia, which only operates in the high season, but is the shortest and cheapest route from Italy to Corsica. When choosing a port of departure, you should always weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of each option. With so many connections and offers, MrFerry is the perfect service to help you by allowing you to view and compare all connections on our online portal.
