Corsica is a laid-back French island, with a breezy vibe that’s part European weekend and part tropical honeymoon. The port city of Bastia flings its arms wide open to weary travelers disembarking from a long ferry trip. For a truly charming Corsican experience, catch a train through the mountains to the beach, passing by rustic villages and grazing cows along the way. Take a few hours or even a few weeks to explore the island’s famous walking trails, including the varsity-level GR 20.

If you are like ferries as much as we do, this is an amazing trip. My 9 and 10 year olds danced with all the other kids on board until way after bedtime. We slept in sleeping bags under the stars, and stood on deck watching Carthage come into view 23 hours later. I’m quite sure we were the only Americans on board, and definitely sure we were the only ones sleeping on the deck. Everyone was friendly. The check in for this CTN ferry is at the Algeria/Tunisia International terminal, across from the new cathedral. Then a long fascinating trip on the bus to the boat past all the loading ships. Twenty three hours on the Mediterranean!

We'd never travelled as foot passengers on a ferry before - how easy was that?! Very straightforward and quick!( Though we do wonder why our bags were security scanned travelling from Nice to Bastia though not for the return trip). When we travelled ( June) plenty of seating for passengers - we did not pay for Pullman type seats. One thing that we disliked ( a lot!) was the fact that dog owners were allowed to bring their dogs into public areas eg bars, restaurants, where some people thought it was OK for them to sit on seats. And on a five hour trip, inspite of ' pet sanitary areas' being available on the top deck, some dogs were allowed to urinate and defecate ( in the bar and on outside decks!). Disgusting.
