What to expect

History flows through the waters of Valletta's harbours – and this cruise brings the past to life over 90 absorbing minutes. You'll explore the two harbours either side of the capital, learning about the earth-shattering events that have taken place in the Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour as well as seeing the architectural treasures that line the waterfront.

As the scene of two of the most epic sieges the world has known, the Grand Harbour is a place that has helped change the course of history. See Fort Ricasoli, the silver-domed Kalkara church and Fort St Angelo. In Marsamxett Harbour, the palaces of Ta' Xbiex, Msida church and Fort St Elmo are among the many treasures you'll see.

You'll also catch a glimpse of the elegant townhouses that line the creeks of either harbour. The contrast between the beige limestone architecture and the blue water is one of the defining images of Malta. A must-do tour of one of the greatest natural harbours in the world.
