Set sail on a full-day adventure exploring Malta’s eastern and southern coastline, where history, nature, and myth come together in one unforgettable experience. The journey begins with a close encounter with the mysterious islet of Filfla. Though small and uninhabited, Filfla holds centuries of secrets. Discover how this rocky outcrop was formed, learn about the origins of its name, and hear stories of pirates who once sought refuge in its shadow. Once used as a military bombing target, Filfla is now a protected nature reserve, home to unique plant species and creatures found nowhere else. As you cruise past, keep an eye out for seabirds soaring above, turtles gliding through the waters, and even playful dolphins.

The second part of the cruise brings you into the majestic Grand Harbour, one of the most important natural harbours in the Mediterranean. For thousands of years, this strategic port has been at the heart of Malta’s story—from Neolithic settlers and Phoenician traders to the formidable Knights of St John and the British Empire. As you glide through its waters, admire the mighty fortifications that line its shores, including Fort St Elmo, Fort St Angelo, and Fort Ricasoli, and hear how this historic hub continues to shape Malta’s identity to this day.
