Malta

Malta lies in the middle of the Mediterranean, between Sicily and North Africa, and at 316 square kilometres it is smaller than many a European city. That is exactly what makes the island such a rewarding cruise destination: from the port in Valletta you reach every corner of Malta in barely half an hour – the cliffs in the south as well as the old capital of Mdina inland.

Layers of History in Plain Sight

History lies open here: Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, the Order of St John, Napoleon and the British have all left their mark. Valletta itself was rebuilt as a fortress city after the Great Siege of 1565 and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

How We Organise Your Day
