Setting sail on this delightful maritime journey, I felt an exhilarating sense of freedom as the boat glided across the shimmering waters of the grand harbour. The breathtaking views of historic fortifications and charming coastal towns, particularly the stunning shoreline, were captivating and made for some truly memorable moments. Stopping at Sliema was a shopper’s dream, with delightful boutiques lining the bustling streets, giving me ample opportunity to pick up unique souvenirs.
While the experience was invigorating, I did find the onboard commentary a bit sporadic, which left me wanting to learn more about the fascinating history surrounding the area. Nonetheless, the fresh sea breeze and the sun-drenched atmosphere made up for it, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the stunning surroundings.
This exciting adventure was a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation, and I left feeling refreshed and inspired, eager to share the stories behind those captivating views.

Exploring the Grand Harbour was a highlight, especially with the stunning views of Valletta’s skyline. While the cruise was enjoyable, we found the shopping stop in Sliema a bit rushed, leaving little time to browse.
