Malta Uncovered
About This Cruise
For 6,000 years Malta has been at the crossroads of almost all ancient Mediterranean civilisations.
On mention of the island, the immediate thoughts are of the Knights of St John, Maltese Falcon and the George Cross. With a long and turbulent past and with a language bearing influence of Latin, Arabic and Semitic dialects, it is a unique destination with so much of its past on display. Its temples are the world’s oldest buildings, pre-dating the pyramids by a thousand years.
Many visitors to this wonderful island never experience its undiscovered side, but on this tour, we feel we have created a superb balance of interests ranging from a wonderfully varied history, unique scenery and atmospheric old towns, all in an ideal destination in which to relax. A Maltese we once met, remarked that the island is like an extended family, which may be a romantic vision, but often that’s just the way it is!
