Malta reviews

"From Sicily to Malta in a little under 2 hours"

This was my second return trip between Pozzallo and Valletta and both times i've been quite satisfied with the quality of service, attention to safety for boarding, and the service on board. Prices are a little high which perhaps discourages people from travelling, just not for me!

"Confortable journey"

I used this service so many times now. And I have to say that is really satisfying as always because of the kind staff and the punctuality. The only flaw is that you have to wake up very early in the morning to get the ferry at 6.30, it would be nice to posticipate the journey at 7.30.

"Home "

apart from from our ferry time being changed due to the weather,we enjoyed this trip ,it was good service from them to phone us and inform us that next day's sailings were cancelled due to sea conditions so that we could get last ferry on 21st.everyone on board was very helpful and kept us all informed about what turned out to be a fairly choppy crossing

"Excellent ship"

Comfortable and clean ship, ideal to go to Malta.. I would prefer only to travel in the morning just to have more hours of holiday and without waste a day.
