Malta Harbours Tour on a 90-Minute Boat Cruise

Step aboard a traditional cruising vessel and prepare for a captivating 90-minute journey through Malta’s iconic waterfronts. This harbour cruise offers a unique perspective on the island’s rich history and breathtaking architecture — seen best from the water. Whether you’re visiting Malta for the first time or you’ve lived here for years, this trip reveals a side of Valletta and its surrounding cities that few ever get to truly appreciate.

Departing from the lively Sliema Ferries, the boat gently makes its way across Marsamxett Harbour before entering the majestic Grand Harbour — one of the most stunning natural harbours in Europe. As you cruise past elegant marinas, fortified walls, historic buildings, and charming creeks, you’ll be immersed in the island’s maritime soul.

You’ll witness centuries of history unfold before your eyes as the cruise takes you by the Three Cities — Vittoriosa (Birgu), Cospicua (Bormla), and Senglea (Isla). These ancient fortified towns, built and defended by the Knights of St. John, offer a striking contrast to the glimmering water that surrounds them. Their narrow streets, watchtowers, and bastions echo stories of battles, sieges, and triumphs from Malta’s fascinating past.

As the boat glides through the calm waters, enjoy live English commentary played over the P.A. system, sharing fascinating facts, legends, and historical insights about each landmark. You’ll pass by Fort St. Angelo, the breakwater bridge, shipyards, and many more hidden gems nestled within the creeks of Valletta.
