Malta-Pre-andPost-Main

Experience the beauty of this Mediterranean island with a customized pre- or post-cruise program

Explore 7000 years of history, yet live passionately in the present. You'll span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop. The colours are striking, honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues. Malta’s capital, Valetta, and fortified Mdina are guardians of immense art treasures, palaces and mighty cathedrals.

The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. What makes them unique is that so much of their past is visible today. Delve into the Islands' mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St. Paul or see where the Knights of St. John defended Christendom.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Malta before or after your cruise. In addition to fabulous art treasures, historic buildings and beautiful scenery, you can also look forward to Italian-inspired food and British pubs – indications of the influence of other cultures on this remarkable island.

 

Add an optional pre- or post-cruise program to the Sea & Music Cruise - with a choice of 4- and 5-star hotels on the island of Malta.
