Malta Highlights

Valletta
Established over 500 years ago by the Catholic Knights of St. John (for whom the main cathedral is named), this walled city is one of the main ports of call on many of our western Mediterranean cruises that also visit Italy, Sicily, and France. In this small, medieval port town, you will have the chance to:

Try your hand at cooking authentic Mediterranean dishes under the supervision and guidance of a local celebrity chef.
Tour this ancient and historic city with stops at the 16th-century Palazzo Casa Rocca Piccola, Upper Barrakka Gardens, and the Church of Our Lady of Victory.

Gozo
Gozo is known chiefly for one thing – the megalithic temples of Ġgantija. Built over 5,000 years ago, these impressive and well preserved temples are a monument to human ingenuity and are in fact older than even the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge.
