Mediterranean paradise in mind? Head to Malta

For centuries, the Port of Valletta in Malta has been regarded as one of the finest natural havens in the Mediterranean. Its imposing bastions guard a treasure of history, architecture, art and culture in the cities within.

Nowadays, the Grand Harbour has become an irresistible scene for hundreds of cruise ships visiting to enjoy the Islands on their Mediterranean itineraries. Malta's small size contributes to its popularity as a port-of-call.

The Islands have an effervescent calendar of cultural events to see, such as the Malta Arts Festival, the Valletta Baroque Festival, the Opera Festival, the Choir Festival and the International Jazz Festival. Many come back for a longer stay and experience the Maltese way of life. The Maltese Islands are also an ideal departure point for your Mediterranean cruise.

The Maltese Islands offer a wide range of hotels, from 5-star luxury to budget options, a variety of shopping opportunities, mouth-watering cuisine, historical sites and sporting facilities, cultural events and entertainment to suit all ages.
