Around Malta Discovery Cruise with 3 Swim Stops and Buffet Lunch

Discover Malta’s coastline in a way no other tour can offer — perfect for travellers seeking a fresh alternative to the repetitive routes every other cruise follows. This is the island’s only full day cruise designed around an exclusive and carefully crafted path that showcases Malta itself from every angle.

Departing from the vibrant Sliema seafront, your journey begins with sweeping views of Valletta’s majestic skyline rising across the water — a stunning UNESCO city that forms the perfect backdrop as you set sail. From here, the voyage unfolds along the entire eastern and northern shores before curving south, revealing the full, uninterrupted beauty of mainland Malta from the sea.

Created specifically for travellers who want to admire Malta — not just its neighbouring islands — this is the only cruise dedicated entirely to highlighting the island’s natural coastline, its geology, its hidden corners, and some of the iconic landmarks that shape Malta’s distinctive shoreline.

Your first stop brings you to the tranquil splendour of Imġiebaħ Bay, also known as Selmun Bay, one of Malta’s most secluded sandy beaches. With its crystal clear waters and peaceful, untouched surroundings, this hidden gem offers a refreshing swim far away from the usual crowds. The serene atmosphere sets the tone for a day defined by natural beauty, calmness, and genuine discovery.

The cruise then continues toward Anchor Bay, framed by rugged cliffs and home to the charming Popeye Village. As the colourful wooden structures come into view, the boat anchors in the bay for a scenic lunch break. With turquoise water shimmering beneath you and the iconic film set perched above, this stop blends nostalgia, character, and dramatic coastal scenery in a way that feels uniquely Maltese.

After lunch, the vessel heads south toward the famous St Peter’s Pool, one of Malta’s most striking natural swimming spots. Known for its deep blue waters and dramatic limestone formations, it offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether you choose to dive in, snorkel, explore the rocky surroundings, or simply relax on deck, the setting captures the raw, authentic charm of Malta’s southern touchpoints.

This full day cruise is truly one of a kind — the only trip in Malta that brings together these three extraordinary locations in a single route, and the only experience dedicated entirely to celebrating the beauty of mainland Malta from the sea. From hidden northern bays to beloved landmarks and iconic southern landscapes, this journey showcases the island’s shoreline in all its diversity, offering a rare and unforgettable way to admire Malta from every angle.
