Route choice & fare planning

Sail from central Nice directly to western Corsica

Corsica Ferries describes Nice–Ajaccio as a regular sailing route on its Mega Express fleet. The exact schedule changes during the year, so compare the live departure when choosing between Nice, Toulon and Sète.

The central position of Nice port can make this route attractive for travellers already staying on the Riviera or arriving from Italy and south-east France.

Ajaccio provides an excellent base for the Gulf of Ajaccio, western Corsica and road journeys south towards Propriano and Bonifacio.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Even on Nice to Ajaccio, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.
