Overview

Malta and its ocean go hand in hand. Although this island nation is smaller than London, its location in the Mediterranean Sea, midway between Europe and Africa, has made its history fascinating and made it an excellent tourism destination. While our North and South hop-on hop-off Malta routes provide you the chance to explore the island itself, our Harbour Cruise is a great opportunity to see the city and the island from the water.

Itinerary

The history of the island of Malta is incredibly complex and intertwined with the sea. Humans have been travelling to the island from the sea for about 8,000 years; some may have even landed in the natural harbours that surround Valletta, where our Harbour Cruise starts.
 
The Harbour Cruise departs from the Sliema Ferry Terminal and travels to Manoel Island in Marsamxett Harbour, where you can visit the star-shaped Fort Manoel and the Lazzaretto quarantine hospital, which was constructed in the 16th century in response to a plague outbreak. At Esplora, you can get out and explore Kalkara, a settlement where Fort Ricasoli is located. Filming for shows like Game of Thrones and Gladiator took place at this fort.
 
Once you're ready to move on, simply hop back on the boat or bus to head to your next destination.
 
To improve your trip to Malta, we've included a combination ticket that permits you to use either of the island's two hop-on hop-off Malta bus routes, the North or the South. You may explore the island to till you like and take in everything it has to offer with over 30 stops spread out over the island.
 
A Harbour Cruise that round Valletta's harbour and highlights its majestic military fortifications is also included in the combined ticket. Within three days of the pass's activation, you'll be able to hop off and visit the Esplora Interactive Science Museum (entry not included). 
 
With the choice of 1-Day, 24/ 48 Hours tickets, you can explore Malta city at your own pace. MaltaCity Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off bus covers all of the popular landmarks and attractions across the city. With a multilingual pre-recorded commentary, you will cover below famous attractions:
 
- Qawra Seafront
- Mosta Church
- Golden Bay
