Join us on our Harbour Cruise to relive Malta's gallant history as you cruise around the two natural harbours flanking Valletta: Marsamxetto Harbour and the Grand Harbour. From the water you will enjoy uninterrupted views of magnificent forts, imposing battlements and the intricate network of creeks that characterise Valletta and the neighbouring Three Cities. The voyage offers a unique perspective on the island’s maritime heritage, allowing passengers to appreciate defensive structures and waterfront architecture that are best admired from the sea.

A detailed bilingual commentary in English and German unfolds the stories connected with the two Great Sieges of 1565 and 1942, as well as other notable episodes and landmarks. This narrated experience brings history to life, pointing out features and anecdotes you might otherwise miss. The cruise is suitable for a broad audience, from history enthusiasts and photographers to families seeking an engaging outing. Expect scenic photo opportunities, clear sightlines of coastal fortifications and a relaxed pace that encourages observation and reflection on Malta’s seafaring past.
