Every year, Corsica attracts almost half a million cruise passengers to one of the 6 ports managed by the Corsican Chamber of Commerce and Industry: Ajaccio, Bastia, Bonifacio, L'Ile-Rousse, Porto-Vecchio and Propriano.
Bonifacio's commercial port, ideally located in the heart of the town, offers passengers and crew the luxury of being able to reach the town centre in just a few minutes' walk.
Cruising in Corsica is the result of a relationship of trust built up over many years with the biggest international cruise lines most of which offer very top-of-the-range trips.
Between 450 and 500 ports of call and more than 30 international companies are welcomed each year, with the cruise season stretching over 8 months and more than 50 different ships, including the new flagships of the nautical industry equipped with the very latest technology (scrubbers, clean fuels, waste and sewage recycling stations, etc.)!
The international clientele welcomed on board these ships remains essentially European, led by Germany and Great Britain, which account for 2/3 of passengers, and also including Italians and Spaniards. Americans, who are very keen on cruises, make up the majority of the remaining third, where other nationalities also appear, including Canadian, Australian and South American cruisers.
