Ferries to Malta

To Malta by ferry

Although there used to be several international ferries to Malta, there is now only one route available: the ferry from Pozzallo to Valletta. You can also book this ferry from Catania to Valletta (or vice versa), with a bus transfer provided between Catania and Pozzallo.

Gozo and Comino to Malta

The Gozo Channel ferry is the primary ferry service between Gozo and Malta. In addition, some small tourist ferries operate on this route, often including a stopover at Comino.

You can use the booking module and select Malta as your destination to find all the crossings to and within Malta.ย

  • It is also possible to book this ferry to/from Catania. You will then be transported by bus on the route between Catania and the ferry port in Pozallo. If you book via Direct ferries, the bus tickets are included in the booking.
