Valletta Malta Port Guide

Valletta, Malta is instantly striking upon arriving on any Mediterranean cruise; it serves as a cultural epicenter with Baroque art galleries, museums and historic sites to be found here. Situated along the Mediterranean Sea's northern shoreline with limestone architecture that stands out against year-round temperate sun conditions makes Valletta an intellectually stimulating yet relaxing stop along any Mediterranean cruise itinerary. Valletta was even recognized by the European Union as the 2018 "European Capital of Culture."

Valletta's historic downtown is easily walkable, and you'll quickly gain an appreciation of Valletta's elegance in no time. Tour the intricate St. John's Co-Cathedral built between 1572-1577 - every detail as elaborate today as when first constructed over four hundred years ago! Stroll along Grand Harbor for breathtaking Mediterranean sea views before stopping into one of many outdoor cafes or wine bars along its waterfront to take a bite before taking the ferry over to Gozo Island for hiking, swimming and sunbathing along its red-sand beaches!


St. John’s Co-Cathedral


Tour the ornate church to explore its significance in Valletta's history and art lovers will find much to awe and inspire at this Valletta cruise stop.

Grandmaster’s Palace

Both its exterior and interior boast stately architecture and rich decor; Parliament of Malta met here until 2015. Stroll through its grounds for an immersive 16th century experience!

Grand Harbor


Valletta owes much of its growth and importance throughout history to its seaside location and strategic importance. While you're visiting Valletta for your cruise vacation, take note: you won't want to miss seeing views of the Mediterranean sea with white limestone islands dotting its surface and ships bobbing at anchor in the distance - truly breathtaking views await!

See the Upper Barrakka Gardens


Slow your pace down with a stroll through Upper Barrakka Gardens and admire panoramic views of Grand Harbor from their terrace. Entry to these well-kept public gardens is free and they're open from 7am-10pm each day, providing an opportunity for sunrise and sunset viewing experiences every day!
