Meet your driver when your cruise ship docks in Malta, then hop inside your comfortable, private vehicle and set off to begin your shore excursion.

Continue past Mosta Dome, one of Europe’s largest unsupported domes, and travel into Valletta, Malta’s fortified capital city. Here, see the Grandmasters’ Palace, the former residence of Malta’s Grand Masters and currently the seat of parliament.
Next, travel to Upper Barrakka Gardens, the highest point in Valletta, where you’ll pause for photo opportunities of the city and the Grand Harbour. Finally, see Valletta’s ancient bastions before returning to the cruise terminal.

This large and imposing Church was built by voluntary labour and donations, and is said to be the third largest in the world. Higher internally than the Pantheon in Rome and larger in diameter than the Dome of St. Paul’s in London. During the Second World War a large bomb came through the dome while the church was full, but fortunately failed to explode.
