About This Tour

Join us on this boat trip to relive Malta's valiant history as we cruise along the two stunning natural harbours located on either side of Valletta: the majestic Grand Harbour and the Marsamxett Harbour, as well as the famous three fortified cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua.

Both harbours have played a vital role in Malta’s fascinating history. During this cruise, you will experience the past and view the magnificent forts, battlements, and creeks situated in and around Valletta. You will enjoy unique views of the city and the beautiful Maltese coastline while cruising in the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This is a great opportunity to see Valletta in all its splendour from a different perspective and take some memorable photos of the breath-taking panoramas and scenery.

At the end of the cruise, you will disembark at Sliema Ferries, where you will have some free time to take a stroll along Sliema’s main shopping area and promenade (approximately 1½ hours). Here, you will have the opportunity to do some shopping from the numerous outlets located in this area or simply relax in one of the many restaurants and cafés situated along the promenade and its surroundings.

    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.
