Cruise Terminal at Malta
We are going on a P&O cruise which starts at Malta / Valletta. We fly to Malta from the UK and our flight will arrive mid morning so we could get to the cruise terminal by lunchtime.
The ship doesn't leave until mid evening so I was wondering how close the cruise terminal was to anywhere interesting (for example the main town), if anyone knows how we'd get there (transport options)? And what the procedure is on a cruise for checking in to the ship and then leaving to explore. Is this even an option on arrival day? We have an organized "tour" on the day we get back there but nothing for departure day.
Best Answer
The Valletta cruise ship terminal is at the Waterfront, which puts it right next to the fortress, one of the main tourist centres of Valletta. Many attractions are going to be walking distance from the ship terminal.

Answer 2
From the cruise terminal it is easy to walk along the harbour front to the St Elmo Fort which has a number of attractions. If you want to visit the city centre there is no need to walk up the hill as if you walk along the harbour front towards the city centre you will get to the lift which takes you up to the Upper Barrakka Gardens (for a small fee). You are then within a hundred metres or so of the city centre. The Waterfront itself has mostly restaurants of various types and a few very tourist oriented shops.
