Genoa–Bastia is a practical northern-Italy gateway to Corsica, especially for travellers approaching from Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy or farther north in Europe.
Moby publishes the route from 23 May to 28 September 2026 with four departures a week and a daytime crossing of about five to five and a half hours.
Passenger lounges, vehicle decks and onboard catering make it suitable for both foot passengers and road trips with a car, motorcycle, camper or caravan.
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 Genoa to Bastia, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

Bastia to Genoa ferry guide covers the opposite departure port, arrival arrangements and onward connections.
Use the terminal or pier named on your Moby Lines confirmation. The published departure is the sailing time; check-in and vehicle acceptance close earlier. If reaching Genoa by train or bus, allow for the transfer from the station to the harbour and for luggage handling.
Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Bastia. Leave time to unload before a timed collection, train or island bus. If the ferry arrives late in the day, check the final public-transport departure or arrange a transfer in advance.
Allow for the overland journey to Genoa before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.
Channel arrivals suit different parts of France: Calais and Dunkirk for the north and east, Dieppe for Normandy approaches, and Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo or Roscoff for journeys farther west. Check the motorway and toll itinerary after landing.
Select the correct passenger category before comparing Genoa to Bastia fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.
For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.
Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
