Since 2017, Atelier Voyages has turned chartering from Corsica into a real specialty.

Building on this experience, the two founders, Laurent and Dounia Munda, have continued this momentum for nearly 10 years.

After Turkey and Jordan in 2026, Atelier Voyage will offer during school holidays in 2027 two exceptional trips to Egypt (from April 19, 2027 to April 25, 2027) and to Tanzania (from October 23, 2027 to October 30, 2027) with direct flights departing from Ajaccio.

In Egypt, travelers will enjoy a privatized 4-night cruise (Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan and Abu Simbel) before two nights in Cairo devoted notably to the Giza pyramids, Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The boat (Le Fayan), and hotels will be 5-star.

The Tanzania program includes, on its side four nights of safari followed by two nights in Zanzibar, with private 4x4s, a Francophone guide, and also only 5-star accommodations (lodges and hotel). The circuit will notably pass through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.


“We are targeting a high-end clientele”

“ We are targeting a high-end clientele and the format is finding its audience. For each of the two trips, we have already filled more than half of the available places. On Tanzania, we have quite a few families, and the trip is open to children from age 6.

We already have more than 100 people registered on each of the two trips,” specifies Laurent Munda.

For the manager, the advantage of chartering lies notably in the ability to better control the product and its organization: “ We conduct all our scouting. We just returned from Tanzania, I can tell you that clients will be delighted.,” he explains before adding “ We also participate in all trips with the clients. That reassures travelers greatly and in case of any issue, everything is resolved very quickly. ”

Already, Laurent and Dounia Munda are working on the 2028 projects, with Asian destinations still in sight, always direct from Ajaccio…

As spring-summer 2026 approaches, Corsica Ferries announces a strengthening of its links in the Mediterranean, while betting on digital innovation to improve the customer experience.

“We continually adapt our offering to meet our customers’ expectations: more flexibility, varied destinations, and a strong focus on both the onboard experience and digital services“, says Fabien Agostini, Chief Operations Officer of the company.

Faithful to its historical markets, the shipping line consolidates its routes to the main Mediterranean destinations.

Since April, sailings to Mallorca and Menorca have resumed from Toulon and Sète. Two weekly rotations are scheduled from Toulon, complemented by a weekly crossing from Sète.


A Stronger Presence on Key Destinations

Faced with sustained demand, Sardinia is seeing its offering expanded. From Toulon, the frequency rises to two crossings per week.

In addition, a new connection was inaugurated on April 18 between Sète and Porto Torres, with one crossing per week (excluding August).

A central destination for the company, Corsica remains accessible year-round from Toulon, Nice, Sète, Savona and Livorno.

The increase in rotations aims to guarantee greater flexibility for travelers. A new weekly link between Sète and Ajaccio was also launched on April 18 (excluding August).


A Customer Experience Oriented Toward “Contactless”

In keeping with its modernization strategy, Corsica Ferries is rolling out several digital features through its mobile application.

Among the main developments, dematerialized cabin access allows passengers to use their smartphone as a key, without stopping at the reception.

The app also centralizes boarding passes, makes it easier to modify sailings, and provides direct access to the Corsica Club loyalty program, accompanied by real-time notifications.

Another novelty is the option to pay for bookings in multiple installments (2, 3, or 4 installments) for online purchases.

The company is also launching a thematic mini-cruise from May 7 to May 10, 2026, combining cultural discovery and sporting activities. Departing from Bastia, passengers will head to Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, before reaching Portoferraio on the island of Elba.

The program includes free time to explore the Italian capital, as well as on-board activities, notably in partnership with Fitness Park. The trip also offers possible participation in the Marathon of Elba Island for the most energetic travelers.

Acquis en novembre 2025, the Mega Serena, Corsica Ferries’ new ferry, has just completed its first crossing between Toulon and Bastia on the evening of May 28, 2026.

This vessel strengthens the company’s fleet of 11 units operating across all routes to Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearic Islands.

According to Jean-Charles Teurlay, Corsica Ferries’ operations director, this ship “represents a fundamental new milestone for our growth and confirms our constant commitment to delivering an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly service.

This new vessel will allow us to improve the offering we provide to our customers and to meet the market’s challenges with even greater resolve.”


The company recently announced strengthening its summer connections in the Mediterranean, notably toward Sardinia.


Corsica Ferries: the Mega Serena can accommodate up to 2,000 passengers

This vessel, boasting a gross tonnage of around 39,200 tonnes and a capacity of up to 2,000 passengers and 670 vehicles, or 2,000 linear meters for rolling freight, incorporates the most advanced technologies in safety, sustainability and operational efficiency.

It is already equipped for shore-side electrical connection at the quay during its calls. The commissioning of this system will be completed in the coming months.

This initiative aims to reduce atmospheric emissions and port noise, thereby promoting the decarbonization of maritime transport and the shift toward port infrastructures that are more environmentally friendly.
