Additional Information

Immerse yourself in history with a 90-minute cruise through Valletta’s harbours. This journey will take you through the two harbours flanking the capital, where you will discover significant events that have unfolded in the Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour. You’ll also have the opportunity to admire the architectural gems along the coastline.

The Grand Harbour, the venue of two monumental sieges, has significantly influenced world history. Here, you’ll see Fort Ricasoli, the silver-domed Kalkara church, and Fort St Angelo. Marsamxett Harbour, on the other hand, offers views of the Ta’ Xbiex palaces, Msida church, and Fort St Elmo among the numerous attractions.

Aside from these, you’ll also see the refined townhouses along the creeks of both harbours. The palettes of the beige limestone structures contrasting against the blue ocean create a distinctive aesthetic typical of Malta. This tour is highly recommended for understanding one of the most extraordinary natural harbours in the world.
