Three tickets and a booking fee: the A1 at EUR 15, the metro at EUR 1.70 and the ferry from EUR 43.37, with EUR 9.00 added on the booking page. The ferry fare was the same on every date from 12 October 2026 to February 2027.
The boat leaves at 18:00 every day and lands the next morning, at 07:00 or 08:00. Corsica Linea prints your presentation time on the ticket and sends it by SMS that morning.
Corsica Linea cancelled its Marseille sailings of 5 October 2026 and moved passengers to a 10:00 day boat on 6 October; check its line-status page before you travel.
Foot passengers report to the Gare Maritime de la Joliette, on Place de la Joliette, not to the cruise terminal in the northern port that the other Marseille port page covers.
