The largest of the islands, Malta is the main cultural and commercial centre and is bathed in warm sunshine all year round. [ReadMoreMob]

For a cruise that really gets away from it all, a visit to Gozo is perfect. This little island is popular with walkers looking for peace and quiet.One of the main advantages with Malta is that, no matter where you are, you’re never far away from one of its magnificent beaches. Its natural beauty makes it the perfect cruise holiday destination.
Top Experiences
Valletta, Malta
Mdina
Often referred to as the ‘Silent City’, due to its massive walls and hidden lanes, Mdina is the old capital of Malta. The mysterious city is inhabited by just 300 – a world apart from modern Malta – and is best explored on foot or via horse-drawn carriage.
St John’s Co-Cathedral & Knights of St John
Sir Walter Scott called the sumptuous Baroque interior, which includes a large Caravaggio painting of John the Baptist, the most striking he'd ever seen. Commissioned in 1572 as a church for the Knights of St John, this is one of Malta's greatest treasures.
War History
Malta was collectively awarded the George Cross for the country's bravery in the face of the devastating WWII blitz. Top war-related sites of interest include the National War Museum, the Lascaris War Rooms, and the remains of the Opera House.
