Go on a Harbor Odyssey

Depart from the coastal town of Sliema, where you'll board a comfortable boat for a leisurely cruise through two of Malta's most enchanting natural harbors – Marsamxett Harbor and Grand Harbor. Marsamxett Harbor provides picturesque views and hidden coves, while Grand Harbor features towering fortifications and historic forts, along with Valletta's impressive skyline.

Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to glimpse historic landmarks such as Fort Manoel, Fort Tigné, and Fort Lascaris, all while listening to detailed audio commentary in English, that delves into the history of Valletta.

Three Cities and Hidden Creeks Adventure

You will also pass by the historically rich Three Cities, which include Vittoriosa (Birgu), Senglea (Isla), and Cospicua (Bormla). Vittoriosa, the oldest of the trio, boasts a storied past that includes its pivotal role in the Great Siege of 1565 and is home to iconic sites like Fort St. Angelo, the Inquisitor's Palace, and the Maritime Museum. Thanks to the many creeks surrounding Valletta, including Sliema, Lazzaretto, Menqa, and Marsa, as well as the Inner basin, this tour promises a more peaceful and authentic experience.
