Timetable and season of the Genoa to Bastia ferry

Daily in summer - that is how often the ferry from Genoa to Bastia runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 5 hours 15 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Genoa passenger terminal (Terminal Traghetti, Via Milano)

Genoa passenger terminal (Terminal Traghetti, Via Milano) is where the Genoa to Bastia ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Genoa passenger terminal (Terminal Traghetti, Via Milano); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Bastia port

The ferry docks at Bastia port - Bastia is the port town of northern Corsica, with a Genoese citadel, the old harbour and the Cap Corse road. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Bastia with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Genoa to Bastia crossing.

Many travellers continue from Bastia to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Genoa to Bastia ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

On board, the ferry from Genoa to Bastia is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. Taking the car means driving on, parking as directed, and coming back down only at the arrival port.

• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
• Children's fares by age; infants normally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling

Things to do in Bastia after the ferry

Bastia is the port town of northern Corsica, with a Genoese citadel, the old harbour and the Cap Corse road. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: the Place Saint-Nicolas, the Vieux-Port and the citadel, Cap Corse and Saint-Florent are all reachable from Bastia port.

Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Bastia; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.

Best time to take the ferry from Genoa to Bastia

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we verify before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Genoa to Bastia?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Genoa and lands you in Bastia itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel and the car, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours offers flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Bastia to Genoa

We book the return crossing from Bastia to Genoa just as easily, generally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Genoa to Bastia cost?

The cost of the ferry from Genoa to Bastia depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Genoa to Bastia ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Genoa to Bastia: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Genoa to Bastia is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:
