Corsica Ferries: yellow ferries to Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearic Islands
Corsica Ferries, also trading as Sardinia Ferries, is a shipping company based in Bastia that carries passengers, vehicles and freight across the Mediterranean.

Routes and travel options for every kind of trip

Tickets to Elba are offered as well. Separate pages explain travelling with a motorbike, with a camper or van and with pets, and a dedicated freight service handles trucks, temperature-controlled goods and outsize vehicles.

Comfort on board the yellow fleet
The fleet has grown since the company started in 1968 with a single ship between Corsica and Italy. Newer vessels such as the Mega Andrea, the Mega Regina and the Mega Victoria joined between 2015 and 2023. On board you find cabins, restaurants and bars, relaxation areas and a boutique, and the site gives details on Wi-Fi and mobile coverage at sea. Extras like express boarding with a top position can be added when you book, and the company offers a VIP Welcome for those who want more comfort.
How to save on a Corsica Ferries crossing
A voucher code is entered during the online booking, so you should have it ready before you reach payment; adding it to an existing reservation is usually not possible. Beyond codes, Corsica Ferries runs its own offers: reduced prices for children, a special offer for one passenger with a camper van and savings when you purchase three formulas together. The «Time to Think» option gives you 48 hours to change your mind, and paying in instalments spreads the cost.
If you are comparing trips, save-up.co.uk also lists further «Travel & Holidays» shops with voucher codes, such as Haven Holidays Voucher Codes, TUI Musement Discount Codes, Ski-Lifts Promo Code and HotHotels Voucher Code.
The Corsica Club and its CorsicaNautics points
Regular passengers can open a Corsica Club account, which collects CorsicaNautics points on every crossing booked while logged in, online or by phone with your client number. Points can be used for a discount on a later crossing, and you can name family members as beneficiaries in the «Complete my profile» section. Keep the account active: after two full calendar years without use, the status drops a level and some points are lost. The Corsica Ferries app, available for download, keeps reservations and check-in close at hand.
