Valletta is the capital of Malta, set on a fortified peninsula overlooking the Grand Harbour. It is one of the Mediterranean’s most striking cruise arrivals, with bastions, church domes and honey-coloured stone close to the ship. Visitors can walk into the city or take a short transfer, depending on the berth. Key sights include St John’s Co-Cathedral, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, the Grand Master’s Palace area and narrow streets filled with balconies. Malta’s history includes the Knights of St John, British rule and wider Mediterranean trade. Valletta suits passengers who want history, views and an easy city walk.
