You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.
Your tour begins at the port from here you will be escorted by coach to discover the historical area known as the Three Cities. The first port of call is the city of Cospicua which is the largest of the Three Cities and is situated on Grand Harbour opposite Valletta. It is known to many by its earlier name, Bormla.
The city was renamed by the Knights of St. John because of the brave role played by its people during the Great Siege of 1565. The city suffered extensive damage during World War II and although rebuilt, it has fewer inhabitants than in the pre-war years.
The next stop is the city of Vittoriosa which lies on one of the promontories jutting into the Grand Harbour, opposite Valletta. At the tip is Fort St. Angelo, perhaps the oldest fortification on the Islands. Vittoriosa was the first home of the Knights when they arrived in 1530, and as such, contain many important architectural riches.
The Knights' auberges (inns of residence), palaces and churches here are older than those in Valletta. You will be escorted through the quaint narrow streets here to view the historical buildings and churches.
From the old quay you will then board a typical harbour ‘fregatina’ for a tour of the famous harbour creeks.
Your last port of call is the city of Senglea. Like its sister cities, Senglea also suffered heavy damage during World War II. More than 75 percent of its buildings were destroyed.
The city is noted for its superb harbour views across to Valletta from Safe Haven Gardens at Senglea Point. You will visit the stone vedette, also known as il-Gardjola, on the bastion-point. This has served as a look out point to guard the harbour entrance. The sculptured eye and the ear above the windows are symbols of vigilance.
Your tour will then conclude following the escorted coach ride back to the port.
