Route guide

Plan your ferry from Ajaccio to Marseille

The Ajaccio to Marseille crossing connects Ajaccio and Marseille in France.

For a departure from Ajaccio, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Ajaccio’s ferry port is centrally placed beside the city and railway station, giving easy access to the Gulf of Ajaccio and west-coast road network.

On the other side of the crossing, Marseille is your arrival port. Central Marseille is well served by metro, trams, buses and regional rail; the ferry terminals are spread along the working port, so allow time for the correct gate.

Compare the Ajaccio departure and Marseille arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Ajaccio to Marseille result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Marseille may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Marseille

Central Marseille is well served by metro, trams, buses and regional rail; the ferry terminals are spread along the working port, so allow time for the correct gate.

Many central sights are close together, although Marseille’s hills make some walks steeper than the map suggests.

Marseille Saint-Charles is the main rail hub for TGV and regional trains, with metro connections into the city.

The long-distance ferry port stretches north of the centre; use the operator’s terminal instructions, local transit, taxi or road access.

For an onward connection from Marseille, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
