"Porto Torres to Toulon 5 November"
I own a travel company and I often travel between France/Sardinia/Italy, and I often use Corsica/Sardinia ferries. This is the worst experience I have had. I am not blaming Corsica/Sardinia ferries for the bad weather and the delay but I am blaming them for our treatment on the boat. No explanation was given for the delay. There were two sitting areas closed and there was not nearly enough seating for the number of passengers booked..
"Very comfortable trip"
Very efficient system. Check-in, lane control and boarding was surprisingly quick and well ahead of sailing time. I love the fact that you are allocated your cabin number at check-in and are told to go straight to the cabin, therefore avoiding long queues at reception. Plenty of seating, several restaurants and bars to choose from, childrens' play area to keep te little ones occupied. I had a basic, inside cabin and it was more than adequate. The bed was really comfortable and the shower excelleht. I had a great night's sleep, refreshed and ready for the days' work ahead. Importantly, all on schedule. The only two things I would suggest could be improved is the quality of the food at the self-service buffet, where you have to line up with your hot foot to pay, which means that by the time you get to your table, it is cold, and tghe quality could be better. The ship was clean, to a degree, but there is room for improvement. On the whole, a very happy customer.
"facture?"
tout parfait excepté que je ne trouve pas ma facture..
"Could do better !"
Smooth crossing, pity the ferry was 50 minutes late leaving Livorno Very few toilets, queues for the ladies We were told to be there 90 minutes before departure, did not board Did not board for nearly 2 hours !!
"Refund "
I have cancelled the ferry in advance and have also received email from Corsica Ferris. Unfortunately after so many reminders email a direct ferries is not releasing my refund and not even responding
"Charged double"
Nice ferry journey but double charged by direct ferries, so not happy
"Sailing time altered "
The ship and facilities were fine. However the sailing time was altered after we booked and this made our journey much harder .
"Few niggles"
Cars squeezed together for 3 hours before late departure, but once on slightly chaotic key allocation. Queues for food enhanced by limited opening times. Crew and facilities were good otherwise,.
"Personnels inadéquats - Bateau vieillissant "
Les deux traversiers utilisés ont un personnel italien qui ne parle pas français - Les repas sont minimalistes - Les animaux ne devraient pas être autorisé sur le bateau ceux-ci font leurs besoins un peu partout sur les tapis des aires communes
"Good but long "
Cabin was good ship was clean enough. Ferry left 2 hours late and arrived 3 hours late. Not a good mode of f transportation if you have time restraints. Many people slept on the floor all around the public areas, many dogs. We were called from our cabin to prepare to disembark 2 hours early. Many people were sitting on the floor waiting then when it was finally time to return to our cars to disembark people with dogs and luggage rushed to the steep stairs, I was concerned for my safety.
"Enttäuschend "
Das Schiff kam pünktlich und das Boarding lief problemlos. Auf dem Schiff angekommen, findet man sich nur leider sehr schwer zurecht. Es gibt keine Schilder wo man überhaupt vom Autodeck ins Personendeck kommt und auch niemanden der helfen würde. Was mich aber am meisten gestört hat, war der Sauberkeitszustand des Schiffes. Ich bin vorher immer mit Moby gefahren, daher kenne ich Fähren und weiß, dass diese nicht „sauber“ sind. Aber dieses Schiff war ekelhaft. Vorallem die Toiletten, voller Fäkalien, welche nicht „frisch“ waren und einfach alles völlig verdeckt. Wände fehlten und eröffneten den Blick auf irgendwelche Kabelschächte, die auch voller Müll und Dreck waren. Es gab auch keine Sitzmöglichkeiten auf den Seitendecks. Was auch extrem nervig war, war die permanente laute Beschallung mit schrecklicher klassischer Musik. Nach Ankunft im Hafen halbes noch eine Stunde gedauert, bis man zu den Autos konnte, es gab aber auch hier keinerlei Kommunikation oder Organisation. Wenn man es dann geschafft hatte, bis zu seinem Auto vorzudringen, was nicht für alle möglich war…, konnte man nicht einsteigen und musste nochmal sehr lange dort zwischen den Autos stehen bis die anderen Autos weggefahren sind bevor man seine Türen öffnen konnte. Alles in allem eine wirklich sehr enttäuschende Angelegenheit und das für 111€ (Oneway eine Person).
"Excellent service"
Very easy, comfortable crossing. Ran exactly to time. Easy loading and unloading even with a 7.4m motorhome. Dog was allowed to be with us the whole time highly recommend
"Corsica Ferry"
Good service
"NIce Bastia Nice Ferry - September 2022"
This text box is not the easiest to fill in! We travelled Nice to Bastia on 3 September and our departure was delayed 1 hour. During the trip we found it impossible to know when the individual snack bars and the Dolce Vita restaurant would open and close. For our 0730 hrs return we decided to book breakfast in the Dolce Vita restaurant. It seemed impossible to contact Corsica Ferries so we emailed Direct Ferries and received a telephone call from them. We asked if we could book breakfast in the Dolce Vita and was told "Yes" so we paid and a new boarding card was issued. On 14 September we could not find where to have our pre-booked breakfast as the Dolce Vita restaurant was closed for most of the trip. On board reception told us we could eat at any of the restaurants but once again found it impossible to know which would open and when. The staff were not helpful.
"Roaming charges scam"
Put your phone on airplane mode otherwise you'll take up in the morning to find the ship has drained all your money overnight. There is no advance warning about this and the notification texts only arrive well after sailing time when the ship leaves the coast. Cabins were pretty manky - there was old sick on one of our blankets and no soap in the bathroom. Staff eventually produced some soap, after half an hour of passing us around to different people.
"It did what it said it would"
Efficient on board. Chaos loading and unloading which took much longer than it needed to. Great to be able to have the dogs on board
"Tout est parfait sauf le Wifi-Pack-easy"
Départ et arrivée parfaitement à l'heure. Personnel aimable, prévenant et compétent. Vaisseau propre et bien tenu. Les prix à bord sont raisonnables. MAIS la connexion wifi-pack-easy ne fonctionne pas bien du tout. C'est au point que je n'ai pu compter, à l'aller comme au retour, que sur les réseaux cellulaires des côtes quand elles étaient proches.
"Sardinen "
It’s ok…ish
"Not good"
Not good
"Please don't lock your toilets!"
The service was excellent. We bought our ticket online as we arrived and were boarded straight away. The ship was clean. The food was nice from the self- service outlet. The staff were polite and friendly. We did have a difficulty in the morning as all the toilets had been locked. We were sent from pillar to post until eventually we asked the cleaning crew to use a toilet in a cabin. It was very embarrassing. While understanding the need to ensure the ship is clear there really do need to be clearly signposted toilets available.
"Good trip"
Efficient loading and unloading, not enough toilets and most of them were blocked, very expensive and limited range of snacks onboard
"A rip off"
Compared to other ferries this is a rip off. There is little space to sit. WE ate our food on the floor, as many famalies did. There is little space on deck. We were overchrged 400 euro for a biccyle we had already booked. Not recommended, Appalling treatment by staff.
"It was superb"
Excellent food, nice staff and we and the kids had a great time
"Something must be changed"
Okay so the trip was not super cool. The interior temperature was really low, it was colder than outside even the night actually that’s ridiculous. People who haven’t take a room to sleep are sleeping in dark rooms or on the floor at all levels, that’s just so inappropriate in terms of human quality/respect. It’s inappropriate because it was cold, in normal conditions it would be okay. The toilets are just awful and the absolute opposite of the world « clean », everything is broken, the smell is awful and there is pee EVERYWHERE, wtf ??. The wifi is disconnecting time to time. The crew only speak Italian and don’t know how to speak english (or french) ! That’s THE basics to know… Otherwise the crew for the breakfast was qualified with THE BASICS things. And finally can you please explain to people how can the half of the toilets, shops, food/drinks distributors are out of service ?? We can’t do anything on the boat it was super boring !…
"Worst experience ever and this company will not refund any money even though there is a clear invoic"
The worst experience ever don’t ever use them. Firstly I am waiting for a refund for the past 3 weeks. I have an invoice saying 270 euros to be refunded and yet after numerous emails the same message saying waiting for operator. I am escalating with my credit card company to retract the money. The ship is appalling and smells. It’s like living like cattle in a cage. No one to help. People sleeping on the floor or on the deck. It’s crappy, wet carpet. No choice of proper food.
"Stressful Experience "
I was appalled by the attitude of the workers at Toulon directing the vehicles on to the ferry. There was aggressive tone in directing drivers into position on deck 1. What I found disturbing was how closely parked the cars were to each others. Passengers were told to get out and subsequently were at a loss as to which direction to head for leading people wandering in front of moving vehicles. Drivers could just about open their doors wide enough to get out of them. Leaving the ferry, once at Alcudia, was so traumatic that I was anxious about the return journey. Some people could only access their vehicles through open car windows! To my horror I had to reverse to gain access off the boat. The aggressive shouting and lack of direction from the vehicle workers led to an altercation. It was a frightening experience, so much so I became extremely anxious about the return crossing. On board the ferry was grubby and the crew not very helpful. Despite the majority of passengers being French and Spanish, most of the crew only spoke Italian! Absolutely bizarre. This one episode put a dampener on my trip. It made me cry it was that horrible.
"Experience camping in a conference room"
Unknown to a inexperienced traveler any foot passenger who has not purchased accommodation is left without seating area ! Never been warned! Yes purchase of accommodation for large and costly cabin is possible .
"Porto vecchio to Nice and back"
Brilliant service, on time, friendly and efficient. Food available was fine. Everything on board is a bit expensive but not too bad. Cabins were clean and comfy, shower good. Nice to see the land and sea from outer decks.
"Terrible Experience "
Air conditioning in the cabin was broken, no one would come and look at it, ended up having to site in the dining room as it was too hot to lie in the cabin. Terrible experience.
"Delay"
I was sent an email after midnight which I didn’t read until I was in the queue to board telling me of the three hour delay. This was poor communication and led to failure in getting to my destination on time !
"Nearly everything was good"
Room staff esas not good.
"Andrea Mega"
Don't pre-book a dinner when taking a day crossing as the Yellow catering facility does open for dinner until you have disembarked.
"Korzica"
Korzica
"Excellent "
Our journey was very comfortable. Clean bedding, good restaurants, great prices for tickets.
"Midnight sailing to corsica"
We've always watched the distinctive yellow and blue Corsica ferries travel into port and so this year we extended our holiday by spending a few days in the south of France before catching the midnight ferry to Bastia. It was fun! The cabin was clean, comfortable and spacious and we slept well. The only drawback is that the cabins have to be vacated before dawn, in good time for the crew to prepare them for the next passengers, so it's a short night. We travelled as foot passengers, which meant that the cost, even including the cabin, was low. I would definitely do it again.
"Corsican ferry "
Efficient staff and service getting on and off. We travelled by motorcycle and would do it again. Large variety of services from shop to top notch silver service restaurant. Even a swimming pool to pass the time.
"Excellent boat trip"
Pleasant boat trip in nice surroundings with good service - excellent
"nice - calvi"
well organised, clean ship, quick embarkation and disembarkation, excellent service, departure and arrival also on time. The road access to the port through Nice is well marked.
"pleasant journey"
We really enjoyed this trip. It lasted 5 hours but there were a lot of facilities to have a pleasant stay. There was a swimming pool, plenty of deck-chairs, nice restaurant. It didn't feel crowded, however, the ship was full. Everything was as promised in the offer.
""It does what it says on the box!""
Mega Smeralda is a big ship, and we found ourselves parked on one of the lowest car decks - not the easiest to access for anyone with mobility difficulties. The facilities on board were very good, the cabin was spacious and comfortable, but we had difficulty hearing the PA announcements - until we discovered the discreet volume control! The crossing was comfortable, but there seemed to be quite a lot of vibration, which we thought strange given how high above the engine room we must have been. All-in-all, a good crossing with everything going smoothly and to time.
"Corsica Jounrey"
Excellent journey, better comfort on board the Mega Express on the outbound.
"Ferry trip to Corsica"
When you are 4 people travelling on 4 motorcycles and you all want to share cabin it's not very clear how to book this. Your service was still ok, even if it took some time. It was also interesting that we had to pay 100 euros more for the return trip, we bought it at the terminal in Bastia, than what we paid for the ticket we bought through you. We didn't even get a cabin that was the same size as for the outbound. We did this because we weren't sure when we wanted to return. Otherwise Corsica Ferries behaved very well, apart from one flagrant episode. When we were returning home at 21.00 they told all passengers that they had to assamble at the stepping from 19-20, but the ferry didn't arrive until 20.30. It should be super easy to announce through the speakers that the ferry is due to arrive at XX. Instead hundreds of people were stood at a hot stepping for up to 2 hours before we could board the ferry. It would've been SO wasy to improve the travellers comfort with a short announcement, and still nothing was done. Why?
"Cruisy ride"
To be honest I found a couch and slept most of the way over as I was buggered from the night before but to be honest it's what you'd expect from a cruise. Friendly staff, slightly overpriced food and not a whole heap to do :)
"Ajaccio-Toulon-Ajaccio"
I travelled better other times with Corsica Ferries.... Boarding waiting time in Toulon too long. The cabin was not easy to find. Kids area not was small. Landing procedure really long (1 hour in the garage). Better than others companies... Best regards.
"A lovely trip to a lovely island"
We use a lot of ferries, but this is quite the easiest. No fuss either end. The food is good and they provide a microwave if the pasta is not quite hot enough. Breakfast is good too, including fresh pressed orange juice. The cabins are spacious, and although you can't borrow a pillow from another bed, as with some 4 berth for two people you can, it was fine. All very professional.
"Great "
Everythig perfect
"Great Experience"
We were pleasantly surprised with the excellent service obtained , quality of food ..The upgrade to a cabin was well worth it.
"Everything was ok"
Everything was fine. Thank you.
"August / September 2014"
Both ways to and from Corsica were great. The crew really know how to load/unload the vehicles, which save you time and wandering around. Nice and clean cabins, arrival on time, very nice trip, indeed!
"Perfect length to get work done between vacation spots"
I found the crew and accommodations to be adequate for getting work done between my destinations. The time between (~5 hours) provided me ample time to catch up on tasks while the enjoying a tasty beverage or two.
"Ferry Trip"
We traveled with Corsica/Sardinia Ferries from Nice to Bastia as foot passengers in August 2014. It was a most pleasant journey. Our bags were stored in the baggage room and so we were free to roam the ship. We took the sun up bu the pool and had dinner before we landed in Bastia. The staff were most helpful and friendly. I would recommend this company for travel to the islands.
"boarding process Ile Rousse"
Boarding process very slow and confusing
"Well organised"
Unlike our ferry crossing on the outward journey with MOBY Lines from Genoa to Bastia, the return trip with Corsica Ferries was well organized. Boarding went quite smoothly. The facilities on board, catering and customer service were very good. It was a very enjoyable trip. The next time we go to Corsica, we will definitely choose Corsica Ferries.
"Wonderful ferry trip"
We traveled without a car from Bastia to Nice. And the sailing was without any problems, great logistics at check-in/boarding and great escalator that made it easy entering and exiting the ship with a suitcase. We pre-booked seats, but thought it was a bit boring to sit there without a view, so we went instead to the "help yourself restaurant". We arrived on time as well, perfectly according to the timetable.
"Ferry on time durin strike"
Corsica ferries operated when the other companies were on strike. Thanks for that!
"Excellent crossing!"
Our Corsica Ferries crossing which we booked through you went perfectly well. We would only like to comment about the information on the confirmation which stated that tickets had to be collected/activated at the port. This wasn't the case with us because it wasn't necessary. In both Savona and Bastia, the Corsica Ferries port agent activated the tickets for us, using the bar codes on out confirmation. May be the information on the confirmation should be corrected. We hope to make a new booking for our trip next year through your company. Best regards, Ruud Alberts
"assessment"
It was all ok except he seat , not comfortable and not easy to sleep on . It's not necessary to book before if you travel during the morning ,because of the big space in the ferry and there are a lot of bars with confortable seat.
"a return trip between nice and bastia"
a good journey, except for the AC which was set a bit too low
"ALMOST JUST AS SATISFIED AS THE LAST YEARS"
We travel to Corsica with Corsica Ferries each year and for the past couple of years, we've been very pleased. This year we were immensely disturbed by sleeping passengers on the sofas in the restaurant is. You're too cosy reading something with a drink and next to you are people snoring on the couch. They bring their own drinks, lay barefoot under their sleeping bags and on the benches and don't care if something is said to them. Maybe next year we shouldn't book any cabins, we should just find a nice cosy couch in the restaurant. We will not be doing this but hope to stay Corsica Ferries customers.
"QUICK AND EFFICIENT"
The boarding and the disembarkment were quick. The pasta at the restaurant were good.
"A CROSSING ABOARD YOUR FERRY"
A very beautiful and clean boat. The staff is available, it's nice to be able to take the dog, although it's a bit costly. The boarding is well organised, especially with a campervan. Everything was good for us, there is no need to hesitate to do the crossing with your company.
"Pleasant trips"
Very comfortable ride in both very flat, and on the return voyage, quite rough, conditions. After a tiring trip a cabin was a well worth the extra, and again comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
"First experience travelling by ferry to Corsica"
The crossing is a true experience. It starts when booking the tickets online. Quick processing and detailed info is required. When arriving at the port a whole bunch of staff will point you in the right direction. Boarding is just like entering a large underground parking garage. The only negative is that there are insufficient reclining seats on deck. There was an option to book a seat for €16 during the booking process (which I thought expensive). It has not becoem clear to me how this is dealt with once on board. Compliments to the organisers anyway.
"very good"
Pedestrians should board first. Otherwise, it was perfect. The boat was on time.
"A journey with Corsica ferries to recommend"
We've been travelling with Corsica ferries for years and we've always been satisfied.
"a good crossing"
A good service, the staff was available, it was clean, the boat was beautiful and nice. Plus, it's nice to be able to keep your dog with you (although this is a costly advantage). The schedule was respected.
"Livournio --> Bastia --> Livournio"
We boarded in Livorno on Tuessday morning. The vehicles were parked in the opposite direction to disembarkment. It means that it was total chaos at the arrival in Corsica and that we had to wait 45 minutes to disembark. In Corsica, however, it was very well organised. We arrived on time and the disembarkment took 10 minutes.
"ENJOYABLE TRIP"
We travelled from Livorno to Bastia and return recently, and the trip was extremely comfortable. There were four in our party and we paid a little extra to have a day cabin. That was well worthwhile as it was possible to have a private space to relax, have a shower if required or even have a nap. The add-on price was not huge and is recommended, especially if you have had to make an early start to board the ship. The passenger advice is to be at the ship 90 minutes before sailing, but this seems to apply only to those boarding with a car. Pedestrians can, and do, walk up minutes before sailing.
"A journey with Corsica Sardinia Ferries"
I had a good time, the ship is beautiful, your company is the cheapest and offers everything one needs. I’ve explored it from top to bottom, because I lost my travel companion and had the opportunity to even see the VIP area. I am happy that pets also have a good journey aboard and that they are considered as respected beings. When we were going to Sardinia years ago, the dogs had to stay in the hold and there was no beach for dogs in Sardinia. I will go to Sardinia with your company soon and I hope that the prices will not increase in the meantime.

"A good experience"
A pleasant crossing with no problem.
"Thank you so much "
I was very pleased from the services and the staff.
"pros and cons on Mega Express"
in my journey I had the opportunity to eat at the restaurant, it was very good especially the fried fish!! The negative aspect was that the ship is not dog friendly so this needs to improve.
"peaceful Journey"
Peaceful Journey, the staff was really helpful, the ship was clean, what more can you say?
"Good ship and customer service"
I want to make a review of my journey experience from Livorno-Bastia. I had a peaceful journey, punctual and without problems, I was very satisfied with the customer service received during the change of the date on my ticket as well.
"our last crossing"
A very nice journey, the boat featured several bars, restaurants and seating areas. The only negative point was that the seats we booked were in a room in the middle of the boat where it was too hot and from where we couldn't see anything. Result: we spent our crossing at the bar. We recommend it.
"Very comfortable crossing "
The boat is very comfortable and very clean, the crossing is very comfortable expired, including the friendly staff has helped. Both crossings to Corsica from Bastia to Livorno are absolutely departed and arrived on time.
"Not satisfied at all"
The staff is very nice and helpful, but the night was unpleasant because the heating was stuck on the maximal temperature. We ended up on the benches of the restaurant at midnight. We wrote a complain to the company which refused to refund us for the cabin. I was very disappointed with this prestation and I will probably choose SNCM next time.
"my crossing from Ajaccio to Nice"
A very pleasant crossing, the ferry is very clean and the staff is nice and helpful both in the garage and on the different levels
"in january from Nice to Corsica "
Ride was smooth and departure times were met. Booking Pullman armchairs around this time outside the main tourist flows would not have been necessary, because in the bar enough seats were free. Meals: we wanted from Nice should eat comfortably, Restaurant and Self but were closed and only made one hour before arrival at. While on the return trip was formerly open, but the hot food (poisson du jour) was already cold when I got it on the plate. My wife was right to replace lunch with a piece of cake with coffee and otherwise by tight attitude Conclusion: You better see before their own snack. For what was offered, the food was too expensive
"Next time better! "
It should give rooms without television, as it was impossible to read a book., We were able to escape and find a seat at the bar., That does not chair the next time., We could not eat in the restaurant because they were closed. The chairs could be replaced.
"perfect"
a very good prestation, a pleasant journey, a very good reception, congratulations to your company and see you soon
"pleasant"
a very pleasant crossing, the best since I've been travelling by boat (2 years)
"A perfect journey"
A charming staff, a spacious and confortable ferry, a perfect way to go to Corscia.
"Impeccable journey"
Very welcoming staff on board, so helpful and friendly. The cabins are very clean and gives you a real deserved rest for the remainder of your journey. If you go to the bar, you just sit down and the waiter comes to you very smiley and obliging. The loading on and off with the cars is the fastest I have experienced, looks chaotic, but is actually well organised. Quite punctual service too! Highly recommend this crossing from Nice.
"Experience with Corsica Sardinia Ferries "
Hey, do we have traveled on 20.10. 2013 with the Mega Express 5 from Toulon to Ajaccio and at 1:11. 2013 with Mega Express 4 from Ajaccio to Toulon. Our experiences were very good. The ships were absolutely on time, boarding properly, friendly service on board and clean cabins. The food available was also ok, the prices reasonable. We can recommend the company.
"Crossing from Toulon to Ajaccio "
It all works beautifully. We could immediately go upon arrival at the port for the ferry and use the local service. (Also 2 hours before departure)
"All the best! "
Not starving, not dropped Not puking and not a pack What more could you want?
"Corsica Ferries "
Good value for money
"Our trip to Corsica with Directferries"
Everything was to our satisfaction except maybe that on our way to Corsica the hot meal could have been served earlier. Maybe starting one hour after the sailing rather than about 2.5 hours as was the case.
"Comfortable journey"
Affordable and comfortable journey to Corsica.
"A few comments"
Very good crossings, very punctual. The only problem is that you had to wait for two hours to eat at the restaurant..The staff was friendly, but overwhelmed!! If they spoke proper French, it would make things easier.
"A poor welcome at the restaurant"
During the outbound journey, we weren't able to eat. We were denied the entrance to the restaurant, because 2 people is not enough for a table. At the bar, there was only hotdog. We brought our own food for the inbound journey.
"No English speaking staff!"
The service at reception and on board was outright bad. Nto willing to answer a question, not helpful and very impolite. Staff does not speak English, on a ferry that transports tourists from all over the world to the island! Staff at the restaurant was polite, as it should be!
"A return crossing between Toulon and Ajaccio"
Punctual. Clean cabins and boat. The boarding and the disembarkment were well organised. The catering was good and affordable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.
"Satisfaction"
I am totally satisfied with the prestations from this company
"A problem free crossing"
A good value for money, a problem free crossing. It would be nice however to have some rooms for passengers who do not eat or drink.
"Can do better…"
The staff in the restaurants and the bars is neither cheerful nor nice. The reception and the organisation for the pullmann seats needs to be reviewed. Timekeeping is perfect though
"A great crossing"
The crossing was good. The boat is well equiped and confortable.
"What a difference between companies"
Thanks for your service over the phone. We made the outbound trip with SNCM (on Excelsior) and the inbound trip with Corsica Ferries (aboard Mega Express): -punctuality: 3h late with SNCM and no excuse / no delay on the Corsica -reception: the staff of SNCM was sullen and unfriendly, tired maybe?/a cheerful staff in the lounge, the bars and the reception rooms. -material: 3 deck chairs on SNCM / a decent number on Corsica Ferries. -catering: awful on SNCM - half frozen pizza, a staff which just chats with each other. I was not allowed to take two starters instead of one starter and one main/ On Corsica, the food was very good, well presented and served by a nice staff. cleanliness: poor on SNCM, perfect on Corsica cabins: much more confortable and pleasant on Corsica than on SNCM The only thing which looked better on SNCM (but it doesn't affect me). There's a kid club with a show.
"A return from Nice to Ajaccio"
A very good crossing, a very nice and helpful staff. I would recommend it for those crossings.
"Holidays 2013"
We enjoyed our journey aboard the Corsica Ferries. The staff is nice and helpful overall.
"A pleasant crossing"
A first ferry crossing with Corsica ferry. The boat was on time, the crossing was pleasant. The pullman seats are neither useful or confortable. It's better to run to the deck to get a deck chair. I regretted that there were nowhere to seat during the outbound journey apart from the restaurants if you haven't booked a cabin.
"A pleasant crossing, but…"
A very clean ferry, but a cold reception, The staff is not customer-service focused.
"Holidays "
I am happy with this crossing. A return trip aboard the mega express. I recommend corsica ferry.
"Expensive and unconfortable"
We travelled on a very unconfortable pullman seat during the inbound crosssing. It wasn't fit for sleeping!! Plus, I've realised that my tickets was very expensive compared to other passengers
"A peaceful crossing"
A very confortable ferry. Every one of my three children found something to do. We made the inbound crossing at night. The cabin was like an hotel room and everyone slept well.
"A pleasant crssing"
A pleasant day crossing (8am/3pm). A calm sea and a sunny weather. Kids in the pool and parents on deck chairs.
"A return crossing between Nice and Ajaccio at the end of August."
The boats leave on time. They are confortable and clean. The staff is very nice and there is a vast choice of food for all types of budget.
""
A problem free crossing. However, there is only one movie in the video room. The disembarkement is quite unconfortable. The cars start their engines, while we are still in the hold waiting for it to be opened. It's not really smart.
"CROSSING"
A very pleasant crossing, confortable overall. The only issue is the video room. The screen are rather dilapidated and if you are far from it, you can't hear a thing.
"A good crossing"
A good crossing. A good service. The staff was abvailable.
"A NIGHT ON BOARD"
We were installed on a deck chair in our sleeping bags. The staff woke us up and told us to elave as they were going to clean the deck. It was 1am. If it's not possible to sleep on the deck, we would have liked that Corsica informed us as soon as we came there. We went down to the lounges, but the AC was so cold that we decided to sleep on the floor, in a corridor. It wasn't great...
"great"
We really enjoyed this crossing. The staff is nice. The boats are equiped with everything you need.
"A very pleasant crossing"
Boarding aon time. We booked a cabin for 4. It was clean, ready on time… We had a meal at the restaurant lounge. The service was quick and the dishes were correct. We're keeping a good memory of our crossing with Corsica Ferries.
"an hassle free crossing"
It was a first for us and everything went well. The staff was nice and available.
"Nice Ajaccio"
Nothing to report, except that a small bottle of water (50cl) costs 2,90€.
"Great"
Perfect. We've been using it for years and we'll keep on doing so. Congratualtions.
"Boattrip Corsica"
The outward journey was on the Mega Express. It had an (outdoor) pool on deck. This was ideal for our kids. We could read our books in the sun on the deckchairs. There are many restaurants, entertainment for small children, depending on the departure time. The return journey was on the Mega Smeralda. There was a pool on the lower deck, but this was indoors. The pool didn't open until noon and it was a bit hidden away. Because the pool can only be accessed by lift we were always required to go with our kids. It's also compulsory to purchase a swim cap for £2.50. The quality of the food at the cafe on the upper deck was bad. Colf burgers and such. There was a entire entertainment team in the ball room, which was a lot of fun.
"July 2013."
It was a good crossing, the schedule was respected, the service was good. The reception could do with some improvement.
"Nice-Ajaccio"
We had to wait for a while to board the ship, but once we were on board the staff were there to meet and greet everywhere. The ship even had an escalator so that heavy luggage was easily transported to the cabins. The ship also had a separate suitcase room to lock in the luggage. We pre-booked seats, but instead we chose to sit outside on a sunny top deck. There we found a sea water pool and a bar with music. We almost felt as if we were on a cruise. 6 hours of ferry trip went by very quickly. The food on board was all right. Excellent service.
"An intolerable arrival in Toulon"
We had to vacate our booked seats an hour before arrival for the cleaners. We ended up standing in the corridors with our hand luggages and had to wait to be able to disembark. As pedestrians, we had to wait for all the cars to disembark without any information regarding our waiting time.
"A very correct service. "
All ferries left on time. The seats were very comfortable, the toilets clean. In brief, everything was perfect.
"Six hours between two worlds"
An excellent crossing and a calm sea. A sunset view over the bay of Ajaccio at arrival. I went as a pedestrian and it was a great way to start a Corsica trip!
"Catering on board"
We had a meal in the Italian restaurant. The meal was good, but the portion were small. As we were still hungry, we ordered a pizza and some lasagna at the self service restaurant, but these were tasteless.
"Nice but too much closed"
Thanks for the trip. The ship was nice and weather wonderful. However for the 6 hours the trip lasted, there were no restaurants open at all, only some snacks available!! Also the ship was 30min late.
"Our crossing!!!"
The boarding and the disembarkment are a well-tried process: effcient and secure! We had chosen lounge chairs, but they were old, broken and dirty. Well… we're on holidays!!!
"Ferry Trip"
Generally was good but it was dissapointing not to have WiFi as it is a long journey. I am suprised the Ferry goes so slow considering the generally calm water.
"Sitting lounge: like in a refrigerator"
My first boat crossing between Corsica and the continent. I booked a seat both ways as I don't know how it works… Result: don't spend 16€ for nothing as there is space everywhere on the boat. The room where we sit to watch the only movie available on a loop is almost never visited by the staff. Either the TV is very loud or you cannot hear a thing. Above all, it's freezing!! Single girls should also be careful, as male staff is alway on the look-out!
"Corsica Sardinia Ferries"
It was all organised perfectly well.
"A trip to Corsica"
The staff isn't very noce, there's only information about the restaurants and the shop. It's tiring during a 5 hours journey. The chairs are dirty and ripped. Plus, half of the footrests does not function properly and half of the chairs doesn't tilt back.
"A feedback about my crossing"
The boarding area os easy to find (unlike in Marseille). The reception was very good, I was able to take a cabin directly on the boat (cabins are better than seats). It was ponctual. The food was average. It was clean. A good crossing.
"Return crossing between Toulon and Ajaccio"
These ferries are very confortable - The equipments are very nice. One drawback is that there isn't enough choice of meals or wine (no good white wine).
"Mega Express"
Nice ship, good service, everything spick-and-span, pleasant atmosphere, boarding and disembarking was well organised, for a minute it was not clear where exactly to check-in.
"My impression of my trip"
Port staff didn't speak French which is odd for a French service no? Staff were a bit unfriendly in the bar and also the solarium. Got a bit lost trying to get to my car after as well. All together though was a pretty good trip!
"neat clean ship "
The ship was clean and in good condition, the staff friendly .... not acceptable are the waiting hall in Nice too small, not enough seating. Cannot call it a cafe although you had to be there 90 minutes in advance This is a disgrace.
"a nice relaxing moment"
Accessing your boat is very practical. The trip is fairly quick. I recommend corsica sardinia ferry
"Toulon Ajaccio crossing"
We were 5 going from Toulon. 3 of us couldn't lift the feet part of their seats and the back of the seats should get a bit more down. My brother in law was stung by something and had an allergy (the carpet weren't clean). You don't have time to clean, because people disembark and other board the ferry, but I still would like to say it (bottle, boxes remain under the seats). During the inbound journey, we were able to choose our lounge, we were more confortable.Overall our crossing went well.
"Nice company"
How nice to end the evening after a good meal with a drink while listening to a gifted and young pianist. Plus the staff is very nice overall
"GOOD ORGANISATION"
GOOD ORGANISATION. Good reception and cleanliness
"Commentaries"
The embarkment and disembarkement of the cars are organised perfectly. The only thing missing is some information about the places and islands we can see during the crossing.
"Experience of Journey."
Ferry to time. Facilities excellent. Crew very helpful and clear announcements in English as well as French.
"Île Rousse Nice Crosing"
Very good!
"Crossing by motorbike "
I have been on a ferry with my motorcycle for the first time. Regarding the lashing of the bike I was a little skeptical because only bound with a rope at the stern against the ship's side. However, the seas were too low during the crossing. Two bed inside cabin (without breakfast) was small, but clean. Food on board in the restaurant was expensive and humble of quantity and quality. Enttainment evening existed and was even pleasant - certainly depends on the taste. All in all the crossing Ajaccio - Toulon and the price for 2 persons / 2 motorcycles and a two-bed cabin was in order.
"Return Nice to Ajaccio crossing"
Satisfying cruise, the staff was helpful and agreable, but it would be wise not to have the sound of the tv, the background music and the music of the bar in the same space, it's very unpleasant, I am considering taking your company again for a similar journey.
"Went as we had expected, apart from the wake up call"
Ferry departed late but we caught up during the crossing. Only issue was the wake up call was far too early.
"Good trip"
Took the night ferry from Toulon to Ajjaco and than from Bastia to Savona. Really good trip. Recommend the top class cabin. Decent food at good prices.
"Great trip"
The trip was up to my expectations. R.A.S STAFF are AVAILABLE AND KIND.
"Positive crossing"
Total positive rating for this crossing.
"No problem in particular"
Crossing was ok, went well, however there were people sleeping on the benches which I found to be unacceptable.
"Good trip"
General impression was that the ferry was pretty good. Only down side was lack of French personnel on board and no snack vending machines (in working order anyway). Bit loud in the night too.
"Great Crossing"
Had a great trip on the Mega Express ferry to Corsica last week! Can't wait to go on her again.
