A luzzu is the traditional Maltese fishing boat. Luzzu tours also operates a larger vessel, but it's worth arranging your tour to go on the luzzu. It gets closer to the shore and further into the creeks than the larger boats. The cruise is 2 hours(ish) and is priced at 16 euros but if it's a bit quiet they'll offer... More

We got this nearly two hour trip free with a Hop on, Hop off open top bus deal around Gozo. This was so much better than the bus trip and free! It is a small boat which seems to be able to get to places around the large harbour and smaller creeks that the larger boats can't. The recorded and... More

The only thing that stopped me giving this the lowest review is that I did see some parts of Valletta that would otherwise not have been available to me and the boat was clean and freshly painted. That said it was so noisy you couldn't hear the commentary, it went on for too long and was just a bit dull.

A cruise around the harbours surrounding Valletta is very much recommended. You could go with the large Captain Morgan ship, which I'm sure would be good. However, we went with the smaller Luzzu Cruises and I am very pleased we did. The trip took a full hour and, after a bit of friendly negotiation, was offered to us for half... More

Really enjoyed the 2 hrs harbour cruise of Valetta( leaves from Silema). We got this free as we had taken a hop on hop trip In Gozo with Malta sightseeing . It seemed to cost 15 euro if bought separately but we got the hop on bus + this cruise for just 12 euro. It was a fabulous trip Valetta... More

Leaving from Sliema waterfront, this cruise took in the harbours and creeks surrounding the city of Valletta. Although available separately, we got this cruise as part of a deal with the ticket for the 'hop-on, hop-off' sightseeing bus tour. The taped commentary, in English, was comprehensive and included all the sights of Grand Harbour and Marsamxetto Harbour, including the waterfront... More

We did the two-harbours cruise with Latini. They use smaller boats and go deeper into the creeks than some other companies. Commentary only in English, mostly tape-recorded, but from time to time also live commentary with present facts (e.g. about certain boats in the harbour). It is definitely worthwhile to do the cruise, the one problem with Latini was that... More

We had previously walked around Valetta and seen many of the attractions, or so we thought. Seeing them from the sea gives a totally news perspective to the buildings, particularly the giant bastions and puts them in their historical perspective as sea defences. We went with Luzzu cruises who, as previously noted, do seem to go further into the inlets... More
