About

If you are looking to impress a loved one with a romantic harbour cruise, or you want to organise an evening out with a difference, then join us on our Sunset Harbour Cruise.

Not only will you see Malta and in particular the Grand Harbour in a different light, you will also get to relax and dine in your preferred company.

The historic and breathtaking Grand Harbour is a natural harbour which has been in operation since the Phoenicians. It has played a major strategic role in Malta's history.

Programme

During this sunset harbour cruise, we will leave Marsamxett Creek to navigate into the Grand Harbour for your own private tour of Valletta and its historical fortifications. We will then proceed to the South side of the harbour to get a closer look at Three Cities; a collective name given to the ancient fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea.

After navigating the Grand Harbour, we will find a secluded anchorage, using the lit up bastions as our backdrop. You will then be given plenty of time to soak in the majestic atmosphere. You can bring your own food and wine to enjoy the evening.

Additional Information

You will be provided with a safety briefing, prior to leaving the berth.
