The Port of Bastia’s passenger and vehicle instructions directs departing foot passengers to the North Terminal. After the ticket office, take your travel document and identification to the security checkpoint, then listen for the boarding announcement.
For vehicles the port publishes a reporting time of two hours before departure. The signs show the operator, destination and time. Check all three before joining a queue when mainland ferries are boarding together.
If the car carries a roof load or rear rack, check your declared dimensions against Corsica Ferries’ vehicle booking conditions. Having the correct vehicle class on the reservation avoids having to resolve the discrepancy at the port.
Corsica Ferries’ Nice terminal guide identifies the Nice landing as Terminal 1 in the commercial port. Give a pickup driver the terminal name, and compare the scheduled local arrival with any onward train or hotel check-in.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Nice may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
