Two Harbours Cruise

This 1.5-hour scenic tour is the perfect introduction to the city of Valletta, the tiny capital of the island of Malta in the beautiful Mediterranean. Board your boat and relax as you pass by busy dockyards, marinas, historic forts, and much more. While on the tour your expert guide will share with you the fascinating history of Valletta and the Three Cities of Birgu, Senglea, and Cospicua. From the middle ages onward, these cities endured many battle scars, the most recent being from heavy bombing during WWII. Thanks to the myriad number of creeks in and around Valletta including the Sliema, Lazzaretto, Menga, Marsa Creek and the Inner Basin, you will enjoy unique views of the city without the typical touristy hustle, bustle, and crowds. The walled city of Valletta was established in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. Known for museums, palaces, and grand churches, the Baroque landmarks include St. John's Co-Cathedral, whose opulent interior is home to the Caravaggio masterpiece "The Beheading of Saint John." With this tour you will also gain a new appreciation of the efforts of the Knight Hospitallers to fortify the city and will understand why the island of Malta was such a target during WWII. Reserve your seat on the tour boat today and prepare to relax and discover Valletta.
