directCorsica - Ferries to Corsica and en route hotels

The stunning beaches and breathtaking mountains of Corsica

If you don't like flying or want to try something a little different, why not drive to Corsica - the only Mediterranean island that you can drive to without having to cross several countries.

Take your time and stop off en-route where the fancy takes you, perhaps visiting one of the excellent vineyards of the champagne or Burgundy regions, or maybe even spending one or two nights in one of the many beatiful towns and villages.

And teddy goes too...
If you are travelling with children, you will appreciate the freedom to be able to stop whenever you want to, and pack up all those extra little bits and pieces that just wont fit into the strict airline baggage allowances, so teddy can go too!

There are three companies who offer ferries from mainland France (and Italy) to Corsica; Corsica Ferries, SNCM and La Meridonale (CMN).

CORSICA FERRIES offer high speed crossings from Nice to Calvi, Bastia and Ajaccio, as well as sailings from Toulon to Ile Rousse, Ajaccio and Bastia, Savona to Calvi and Bastia and Livorno to Bastia. The Corsica ferries ships are modern and comfortable, and it is rapidly replacing the state owned SNCM as the company of choice for those wishing to cross between France and Corsica.

SNCM and CMN offer crossings from Marseille and Nice to Calvi, Ile Rousse, Bastia, Propriano, Porto Vecchio and Ajaccio. The new 'cruise' ferries are huge and very comfortable, but some of the older/freight boats can be a little basic.

Channel Crossings

Of course, you will also need to book your crossing from the UK to mainland France.

SeaFrance is the only French owned cross-Channel ferry operator on the Dover to Calais route and currently offers up to 15 daily return crossings across its four strong passenger fleet. Ten of the 15 daily return crossings are operated by SeaFrance's two superferries, the award-winning SeaFrance Rodin and her sister ship, the SeaFrance Berlioz - the two fastest ferries on the Dover-Calais route.

If you just want to get across the Channel as quickly as possible then Eurotunnel will get you there in just 35 minutes.

En-route Hotels in France

Whichever route you decide to take to Corsica, the chances are that you will need to break your journey en route. Accor Hotels offer a superb range of hotels throughout France, so whether you simply want an overnight stay, or want to extend your stay in France give yourself time to explore one of the historic towns or mouth-watering vineyards of the Champagne region, there is sure to be something to suit your taste and budget. Beaune (or Dijon) is just a little under half way if you are following the route from Calais to Marseille or Nice, and Accor have a couple of Ibis there where the parking is easy, but you can get into the town in just a few minutes. Beaune is beautiful, and if you're travelling with kids, you'd probably want to break your journey en route anyway.

From the 3 star Sofitel and Novotel to the 2 star Ibis and the more modest Formule 1 and Red Roof Inns, there is no need to compromise on quality even if you are travelling on a budget. Simply click the link below to explore the world of Accor Hotels.

European Breakdown Cover

Don't forget that recovery in Europe can be an unexpected and unwelcome holiday expense, so make sure you're prepared before you go and take out European breakdown cover.

Bon Voyage!
