Cruises From Malta
These trends continue to emphasise the high quality of vessels calling in Malta. In fact, most of the cruise liners visiting the ports of Malta are in the de luxe and super de luxe classes. Throughout the years there has also been an increased interest in using Malta as a hub port. Recently, analysts have placed Malta among the top ten base ports in the Med and Northern Europe. The majority of passengers on cruise liners came from the USA, Britain, Germany and France, reflecting the main cruise markets wordwide. Pinto Wharf, which is within walking distance of the city of Valletta, is a cruise vessel dedicated stretch of over seven hundred metres, providing simultaneous handling of at least four passenger vessels.The depth of water along these quays ranges between nine and twelve metres. Other berthing facilities are also available at anchorage areas both inside and outside Maltese ports. Moreover, the island of Gozo is becoming an attraction for small specialised cruise liners. Special emphasis has been placed on security according to international standards. The increased interest in Malta as a cruise hub has induced the government to privatise passenger handling services. This will include the construction of sea passenger terminals and an intensive marketing strategy which, as increasing turnaround operations seem to indicate, is having the desired results.
