Afternoon Harbours Cruise and Free Time in Sliema incl. Transfers

About this activity

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

Both harbours have played a key role in Malta’s rich past. During the cruise, you’ll take in magnificent forts, battlements, and creeks surrounding Valletta, enjoying unique views of the city and the beautiful Maltese coastline while gliding through the clear Mediterranean waters. It’s the perfect chance to admire Valletta from a new perspective and capture memorable photos of its breath-taking scenery.

At the end of the cruise, you will disembark at Sliema Ferries, where you’ll have about 1½ hours of free time to stroll along Sliema’s bustling shopping area and promenade. You can browse the many outlets, relax in one of the cafés or restaurants, or simply enjoy the lively seaside atmosphere.
