  Hi Madeleine,
  
  Thanks for your question. The Cirkewwa-Mgarr ferry is running in October. For the Mgarr to Valleta crossing we can't see past september yet. But we expect that one to be sailing as well.

  Hi Rafal, I noticed the following on the website of the Explore Flex provider:
  
  Gozo Standard – This package is perfect for those planning to explore Gozo. It includes 6 days of unlimited travel on all bus routes, including the Tallinja Direct routes. You'll also enjoy a return trip to Gozo from Valletta with the fast ferry, ensuring you can make the most of your visit to this charming island. You’ll save €5 on this package costing €28.
  
  Meaning it will only provide a small discount, if you have the ExplorePlus package you can take the ferry for free. (Source)

  Planning for 2034 will be difficult! =)
  
  However you probably mean 2024, and for that you'll probably have to wait a few weeks, I dropped them an e-mail about it and will update you here when I hear anything!
