Valletta and Mġarr (Gozo) ferry ports
Valletta Ferry Port
Plan your departure around the terminal shown on the booking confirmation, not just the town or harbour name. Arrive within the operator’s check-in window and allow additional margin if you are driving, travelling in peak season or connecting from public transport.

Onboard planning for your crossing
Facilities depend on the vessel assigned to the departure. Treat the booking result and operator confirmation as the source for the exact ship and onboard services.
Seating & comfort
Passenger accommodation varies from fast-ferry seating to larger conventional-ferry lounges. Bring anything needed for comfort on the crossing and follow crew instructions.
Food & drink
Do not assume a full catering service on short or fast crossings. Check the vessel details and carry water or snacks where appropriate.
Vehicles & luggage
Foot-passenger service. Confirm luggage limits, assistance and any vehicle space before travel.
Before departure
Tickets, identification and check-in
Booking confirmation
Keep the final confirmation accessible and check whether a QR code, printed ticket or exchange at the terminal is required. The supplier’s instructions override general guidance.
Identification
Carry the identification and travel documents required for the countries and territories in your itinerary. Domestic routes can still have operator identification rules.
Arrival time
Vehicle check-in often closes earlier than foot-passenger check-in. Use the time on the ticket and allow extra margin for traffic, parking or terminal access.
Onward travel
Continue your journey from Mġarr (Gozo)
A good ferry itinerary includes the journey after disembarkation. Check road, bus, rail, taxi or local-island transport before departure, particularly for evening arrivals. If the ferry is a crucial connection to a flight, train or another ferry, leave enough recovery time for weather and operational delays.
For an overnight stop, compare accommodation with both the terminal and the places you actually want to visit. Ferry ports may be outside the centre, while some island terminals are directly beside the main settlement.
