Highlights

Sliema - We depart from Sliema Ferries at 9:30 a.m.
St Thomas Bay - St. Thomas Bay is a bay in southeastern Malta, located within the limits of the seaside town of Marsascala. Some historians contend that St. Thomas Bay marks the true landfall of Paul the Apostle following his shipwreck on Malta.
Marsaxlokk - Marsaxlokk is a small, traditional fishing village in the south-eastern region of Malta. It has a harbour and is a tourist attraction known for its views, fishermen, and history.
Blue Grotto (Il-Hnejja) - The Blue Grotto refers to a number of sea caverns on the south-east coast of Malta.
Dingli Cliffs - Dingli Cliffs are located on Malta’s western coast, just off the picturesque village of Dingli. They offer panoramic coastal views and are 253 metres above sea level.

The cliffs are known by locals for being the place where the sky and sea meet, as they’re the highest point on the Maltese Islands.

Popeye Village Malta - Popeye Village is a purpose-built film set village that has been converted into an attraction and fun park, consisting of a collection of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings.

It was built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall.

Anchor Bay - Anchor Bay is a bay in the northwest of the island. It is located about two kilometres west of Mellieħa. The name of the bay comes from the many Roman anchors that were found here at the bottom of the bay.
Fomm ir-Rih Bay - Our first swim stop will be at the gorgeous, secluded bay of Fomm Ir-Riħ. With its beautiful azure blue waters and breathtaking scenery, it provides the perfect setting for a tranquil swim and a relaxing break.

Fomm ir-Riħ Bay is a small bay in the limits of Mġarr on the western side of the island of Gozo. The area is characterised by a fault line, which creates an interesting landscape with vertical cliffs and a pebble beach. The bay and headlands form one of the most stunning scenic views and varied geology on the Maltese islands.

The provider reserves the right to alter the itinerary subject to weather conditions or unforeseen operational constraints. If we cannot stop at Fomm ir-Riħ Bay, we will stop at another gorgeous bay.

Comino - Comino is a small, uninhabited island located between the main island of Malta and the island of Gozo. It is known for its crystal-clear waters, secluded beaches, and stunning natural scenery. It is a popular destination for snorkelling, diving, swimming, and hiking enthusiasts.

Comino, with an area of only 3.5 square kilometres, has no cars and is mostly uninhabited.

The primary draw of the island is the Blue Lagoon. During the summer, many people visit this bay with its sparkling turquoise, crystal-clear waters, and white sand. Santa Marija Bay and San Niklaw Bay are among the additional beaches found on the island.

Blue Lagoon - Our second swim stop will be at the famous Blue Lagoon. Get ready to be amazed by the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of this gorgeous lagoon! This picturesque bay, with its transparent cyan waters, white sandy base, and rich marine life, is the perfect spot for a relaxing and unforgettable break. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun, swimming, sunbathing, snorkelling, relaxing on the boat, or simply enjoying a walk in the countryside of Comino Island. We will stay at the Blue Lagoon for approximately 2–2½ hours, allowing you plenty of time to unwind and have an unforgettable afternoon.
Mellieha Bay - Perched on the stunning North Coast of the island, not far from the charming town of Mellieħa, Mellieħa Bay is renowned as one of the most popular and stunning bays in Malta.
St Paul’s Islands - St. Paul’s Island, also known as Selmunett, is a small island off Selmun, near the north-east of the main island of Malta. St. Paul’s Island is sometimes split into two islands by a shallow isthmus, and it is therefore sometimes referred to in the plural as St. Paul’s Islands. St. Paul’s Island has been uninhabited since World War II, and it is the second largest uninhabited island in Malta, having an area of 0.1 square kilometres. The Acts of the Apostles tell the story of how Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked on an island, which Chapter 28 identifies as Malta, while on his way to Rome to face charges in 60 AD. Traditionally, St. Paul’s Bay and St. Paul’s Island are identified as the locations of this shipwreck. In 1844, a prominent statue of Saint Paul was erected on the island.
St. Paul’s Bay - Situated on Malta’s breathtaking North Coast, St. Paul’s Bay is one of Malta’s largest seaside towns. Originally a fishing village, the area is known for its promenade stretching all the way to Qawra and Bugibba and offers spectacular views of St. Paul’s Island, where the Apostle is said to have been shipwrecked in 60 AD.
Qawra - Qawra is a zone within St. Paul’s Bay in the Northern Region of Malta. It is located close to Buġibba and Salina, and it is a popular tourist seaside resort.
Bugibba - Buġibba is a zone within St. Paul’s Bay in the Northern Region of Malta. It is located close to Qawra and Salina, and it is a popular tourist seaside resort.
St Julian’s Bay - Originally a fisherman’s town, St. Julian’s is situated along the northern coast of Malta and is connected to the town of Sliema by a picturesque seaside promenade, which also includes Balluta Bay, Spinola Bay and St. George’s Bay.
Sliema Promenade - Our cruise concludes as we sail past the delightful Sliema seafront promenade before returning to Sliema Ferries.
