The Marseille to Ajaccio (Corsica) ferry
The Marseille to Ajaccio ferry is a long-standing link between mainland France and Corsica, sailing from the great Provençal port to the island's capital on its western coast. As an overnight crossing of around eleven hours, it lets you board in the evening, take a cabin and wake in Ajaccio's sweeping bay, where palm-lined boulevards and the legacy of Napoleon await. The route is a relaxed alternative to flying, and bringing a car unlocks Corsica's mountainous interior, its empty beaches and the rugged calanques of the south-west. Onboard, ferries offer cabins, restaurants, bars and deck space for the Mediterranean passage. The crossing runs year-round, with extra sailings laid on through the busy summer season when the island is at its most popular and advance booking is essential. For travellers from Provence and beyond, Marseille remains the classic gateway to western Corsica.
