Most European ferries are comfortable; the cheapest ticket typically still includes a reclining chair or couchette. Fares jump sharply in July and August. Ask for discounts; ISIC holders can often get student fares, and Eurail Pass holders get many reductions and free trips. Ferries are an economical alternative to pricey flights to Corsica. Corsica Ferries (Toulon ☎04 92 00 42 93, Nice 04 94 41 11 89; www.corsica-ferries.co.uk) offers service to the island from Nice and Toulon. The 6hr. crossing costs €40-50. Sleepers are available for overnight traveling. Reservations are recommended, especially in July and August.
