The Traditional Harbour Cruise

Excellent trip would definitely recommend The commentary was great and we found out a lot of interesting facts

I booked this cruise about a week before my holidays. I was staying in Valetta, therefore I specified I needed some sort of transfer to Sliema where the tour started. I received an email from the travel operator two days before the day of the cruise. The email only said “9:30am pick up from near Phoenicia hotel”. Of course, I was a bit confused at the lack of specification so I emailed them back asking for more details about pickup (type of transportation, exact address etc). I didn’t hear back. So on the same day of the tour I rang them at 9am to ask for more details. The man on the phone was able to tell me the driver was already waiting and he was able to tell me the car model and taxi number so that I knew what I was looking for exactly. I got to Sliema without any more difficulties. I was early as the Cruise departed at 10:15 but I had a walk along the promenade and used this time to get a better view of Valletta from the other side of the bay. The cruise departed on time and I didn’t experience any trouble with my electronic ticket on my phone, I only had to wait for the captain who took a screenshot of my ticket and let me on the boat. The cruise is well worth it, excelent views of the harbour and the Three Cities. Explanations are not great though and can barely be heard from certain parts of the boat. I would recommend this cruise nonetheless.

Brilliant 90 minute tour of the main harbour of Malta and the surrounding cities. Would recommend it’s beautiful.

I did this on my first full day on Malta. It was a great way to see the landscape and the historical buildings. The commentary on the boat was adequate, but I really didn't full appreciate what I was looking at until I did some other tours of the area and visited the Three Cities and could get a historical perspective of the area. Absolutely recommend to do to get your bearings.

The tour operator sent an email late afternoon the day before the harbor cruise giving the time and location of pick-up when we were out of internet capability. I had sent an email 2+ weeks earlier asking for information on getting to the tour, but recceived no reply. As it turned out, there was no way we could maske the tour.

This tour was cancelled. i received an email at 6 am while I was still sleeping stating that we needed to be at the tour at 9:30 am and they would decide by 9:00 am if it would be cancelled. It was a five minute walk for me from my apartment to the tour. When I arrived it was cancelled due to the water conditions.

a wonderful opportunity to take a glimpse of the shores of the capital from a new perspective as you slide across the water and listen to the story. good route and fantastic impressions

On time and as described. Detailed tour around all the harbours and very good way to get an orientation to Malta’s main areas. Great views and good commentary.

The cruise itself was excellent. Good informative commentatory. Charming small wooden boat with the character.. there will be other boats but we were lucky to have this one. We travelled at 11am. The crew was attentive and friendly. Its great way to Valletta from the sea and the opportunity for a fantastic pictures. Great value for money. Would recommend this cruise. BUT the organisation prior the cruise is appalling. We ve booked this cruise well in advance . Printed the confirmation letter. The day before we spoken on the phone with Supreme Travel representative who confirmed that we will be sailing at 10am and we will be picked up from our hotel at 9.15 by hop on hop off bus.. We were stood outside our hotel from 9am but all the buses which stopped outside our hotel didn't let us in. We called to Supreme Travel and were told that our bus will arrive in two minutes time.. Yes she was right it did arrive in two minutes time but the bus driver didnt let us in saying its not our bus and told us to wait.. the time was nearly 10 o'clock!!!! We were lucky as there was a stand opposite our hotel with Supreme Tours representative who has seen our desperation and contacted the office and put us on the next hon on hop off bus so we were in time for the next sailing at 11am. He told us that Supreme Tours didnt put our names on the system and drivers were not informed. Communication is nonexistant between drivers and the office in this organisation.. The service is unreliable. When we returned from our cruise we have made our way back on public transport which is very reliable and always on time in Malta. Which couldn't be said about Supreme Tours..

Had a good time. Very informative with spectacular sites. Nice to be out on the water on a hot and sunny day in July.
