Lean over the gunwale as the gullet slips away from Sliema and the city’s stone façades give way to open Mediterranean blue. Salt air cuts clean; limestone cliffs roll past like pages of a well-worn atlas, and the deck hums with the low conversation of fellow travelers waiting for the first swim stop.

Lean over the gunwale as the gullet slips away from Sliema and the city’s stone façades give way to open Mediterranean blue. Salt air cuts clean; limestone cliffs roll past like pages of a well-worn atlas, and the deck hums with the low conversation of fellow travelers waiting for the first swim stop.
This route threads together Malta’s northern coastline and the tiny archipelago of Comino and Gozo. Geologically, the islands are Late Miocene limestone—flat tops, sheer cliffs and underwater caves carved by millennia of waves; culturally, the route carries echoes of Phoenician traders, medieval knights and fishing communities that still haul nets from nearby coves.
Expect two swim stops: the famed Blue Lagoon on Comino (note government access-pass requirements) and a quieter bay off Gozo for a second dip. The trip emphasizes relaxed cruising—onboard buffet lunch, complimentary drinks and optional short motorboat excursions to caves and the Crystal Lagoon when conditions allow.
Practicalities matter: arrive at Sliema Ferries 20–30 minutes early, confirm transfers if booked, and pack reef-safe sunscreen and a waterproof phone case. The gullet’s wooden decks offer shade and open sun spots—balance your time to avoid midday glare. Sea conditions change; the operator can alter the order or cancel a stop for safety. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive meds before boarding.
This is a full-day, low-effort way to sample Malta’s marine highlights—bring curiosity, a sturdy swimsuit, and a copy of the Blue Lagoon access pass if you plan to disembark there.
Yes—under Malta’s regulations an access pass is required to disembark at the Blue Lagoon; buy one in advance and choose the morning timeslot as instructed.
Some tickets include transfers from selected hotels—confirm your pick-up location and time with the operator a few days before the cruise.
The optional excursion typically costs about €15 per person; bring cash as fees may be collected locally and are subject to change.
The trip is generally family-friendly but not recommended for guests with significant mobility impairments due to boarding and moving on deck; infants must sit on an adult’s lap.
