Overview

Discover Malta’s coastline on the island’s only full‑day cruise designed to showcase mainland Malta from every angle. Departing from Sliema, the journey begins with beautiful views of Valletta’s UNESCO‑listed skyline before sailing along the eastern and northern shores and continuing south, offering a refreshing alternative to standard cruise routes.

The first stop is the tranquil Imġiebaħ (Selmun) Bay, a secluded sandy beach with crystal‑clear waters and an unspoilt setting, ideal for a peaceful swim away from the crowds.

The cruise then anchors at Anchor Bay, home to the iconic Popeye Village. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, this stop includes a relaxed lunch break on board, allowing guests to dine while enjoying turquoise waters and one of Malta’s most recognisable landmarks.
