We had a nice group with good energy. A good in between all out booze cruise party and relaxing boring type cruises. Would recommend”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 57 reviews · 8 hours · from $88

Review the Sliema 3-Islands Cruise, with Blue Lagoon, Gozo bay, buffet lunch, drinks, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Cibo pessimo, gestione buffet pessima, open bar a tempo (dopo pranzo a nche acqua a pagamento), attracco separato dalle altre barche quindi molto distante dal punto principale dove ci sono le scalette per raggiungere i punti di interesse. Navigazione pessima, nonostante il mare calmo non riuscivamo a stare in piedi. Mai più con questa compagnia. Ho fatto la stessa gita con Fernandez tutta un'altra cosa, tutto perfetto.”
