As you journey deeper into the harbour, you’ll glide past its various picturesque creeks, each offering a unique view of this historic waterway. The cruise also provides uninterrupted views of the timeless charm of the Three Fortified Cities—Vittoriosa, Cospicua, and Senglea—whose waterfronts are adorned with traditional wharfs, ancient fortifications, and distinctive harbourside architecture. Each city rises proudly from the water’s edge, showcasing centuries of history shaped by seafarers, knights, and traders.
