The short answer: there is no reliable single price
Route, travel date, passengers, vehicle and your accommodation on board set the fare, and each operator prices its sailings in its own way. A foot passenger on a day crossing in autumn and a family with a motorhome and a cabin on a July night sailing pay very different amounts for the same stretch of sea. What moves the price on each route, and which fixed fees and refund rules apply, is set out below.
Price basis: fees in euros, per change or per leg as stated.
What sets the fare on each route
Season and travel date
Moby sails Genoa - Bastia and Livorno - Bastia from mid-May to late September. In high season Corsica Ferries runs up to two departures a day from Savona and up to three a day from Livorno. In summer you have more sailings to compare, and the same route can cost differently from one departure to the next. Search a window of several days rather than one fixed date, and compare the day sailing with the night sailing where both run.
Vehicle size
Corsica Ferries bases its fares on a car under 5.00 m long, 1.90 m high and 2.00 m wide. Its camper van offer covers one passenger and one vehicle up to 7 m long, 2.40 m high and 2 m wide on crossings from Savona, Livorno, Nice or Toulon. Spaces in this fare class are limited, and extras such as a cabin are charged at the standard rate. The Moby car offer is for cars under 5 m long and 2.2 m high.
Measure the full length including bike rack and tow bar and the full height including roof box. How the operators classify larger vehicles is set out in taking a motorhome to Corsica.

Cabin, dog and extras
Cabin, pet and meals come on top of the fare. On the night crossings from Toulon and Savona a cabin replaces a hotel night; on the day crossings from Livorno or Genoa a seat is usually enough. Corsica Ferries sells a dog ticket for each crossing, Moby asks for a separate pet ticket and Corsica Linea charges a supplement for a kennel place, reserved when you book. With La Méridionale your pet must be on the booking, and assistance dogs travel free. Corsica Ferries also sells express boarding with a top position, onboard Wi-Fi and a VIP welcome. Where your dog stays during the crossing is explained under pets on the ferry to Corsica.
Compare like with like
Keep one scenario for every search: the same date window, the same passengers, the exact vehicle dimensions, the same accommodation and comparable fare conditions. A day crossing without a cabin and a night sailing with an outside cabin answer different needs. A cheaper departure can cost more overall if it adds a hotel night or a long drive on the island.
When you book, enter your date, passengers, vehicle dimensions and cabin, and you see the total for your crossing.
