  • Car and passenger ferry

    Gozo Channel

    Cirkewwa to Mgarr

    This is the Gozo crossing that carries vehicles. The trip takes about twenty-five minutes and sailings continue through the night. You pay when you leave Gozo rather than when you arrive.

  • Fast passenger ferry

    Gozo Highspeed

    Valletta to Mgarr

    This service carries foot passengers only and leaves straight from the Valletta waterfront, so you skip the drive to Cirkewwa. The company was formed when the two competing fast-ferry operators merged.

  • Harbour ferry

    Valletta Ferry Services

    Sliema to Valletta, Three Cities to Valletta

    These are two five-minute crossings of the harbours, about every half hour in each direction. They cost less than the bus for the same trip and take far less time.
