Valletta Cruise Port transfers
Valletta Cruise Port is at Pinto Wharf on the Valletta Waterfront in Floriana, in the Grand Harbour. It is busy: in 2025 it handled 385 cruise calls and almost 963,000 passengers. About 190,000 of them started or ended their cruise here, so airport transfers are in high demand. Taxis, chauffeurs and coaches all serve the terminal.
Valletta Cruise Port to Malta Airport
The port is just minutes from Malta Airport. White-taxi fares from the Seaport Terminal are fixed, so you know the price before you set off. Chauffeur firms will also meet you at the terminal with a name board. Book ahead on busy turnaround days.
