Experience Malta’s storied past and breathtaking coastal scenery on a relaxing cruise through Valletta’s magnificent natural harbors.
Begin with a scenic coach transfer to Sliema, where you’ll board a comfortable sightseeing vessel and set out to explore Marsamxett Harbour and the Grand Harbour — two of the Mediterranean’s most historically significant waterways.
As you glide past the imposing headlands of St. Elmo’s Point and Ricasoli Point, admire the dramatic Sceberras Peninsula rising between the harbors. Your guide shares captivating stories of Malta’s Great Sieges of 1565 and 1942, bringing to life the island’s centuries-long struggle for survival and triumph.
Sail close to the impressive fortifications that guard Valletta and its surrounding towns — including Fort St Angelo, Fort Ricasoli, Fort St Elmo, Fort Tigné, and Fort Manoel. Cruise into hidden creeks and inlets for intimate views of bastions, battlements, and historic waterfronts that can only be appreciated from the sea.
This leisurely voyage offers a memorable blend of scenic beauty and rich heritage, revealing why Valletta’s harbors have been coveted for millennia.
