Air Malta has launched a special offer exclusively for people visiting Malta on cruise liners. Through this offer, cruise passengers arriving in Malta are being given the opportunity to visit Malta again and benefit from a 10% discount on the lowest applicable fare available at the time of booking.

This special offer is available for travel from 14 Air Malta destinations including Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul, Manchester and London Gatwick.

Commenting on this special offer, Philip Saunders, Chief Commercial Officer of Air Malta said, “We understand that cruise passengers do not have the time to see all Malta during their short stopover. We think that the few hours they spend in Malta are not enough to experience the beauty of the islands and their endless attractions available all year round. That is why we are inviting them to come again”.

He added that with this offer, Air Malta is being proactive in targeting potential repeat visitors to Malta during the shoulder months also to the benefit of the local hotel industry.

“We would like to thank the Malta Tourism Authority, Valletta Cruise Port as well as SMSMondial and Hamilton Travel, local stakeholders in the cruise lining industry, for fully supporting our initiative”, concluded Saunders.

Air Malta is interested in targeting the growing market of home porting. In fact, last year, the airline was instrumental in the decision taken by TUI Cruises to commence their cruise trips from Valletta and so far carried over 50,000 passengers who travelled on Air Malta to Malta to start their cruise from here.
