What an amazing experience! Fernandes Cruise was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Malta. The crew was friendly, organized, and made everyone feel welcome. The scenery was breathtaking, the swimming stops were incredible, and the food and drinks were great. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere on board was fun and relaxing. If you're visiting Malta, I highly recommend Fernandes Cruise—you won't be disappointed. Thank you to the entire crew for an unforgettable day!
Worst trip ever with, do not waste your money, everyone was throwing up, the captain was driving too fast
Three hours of gozo isle break, two hours of comino, and + two more splashing spots. It wasn’t just 2 hours outside of Comino Blue Lagoon, Gozo was given a maximum of 45 min stop in a cove at a time, the island didn’t get to the island, +2 splash points were asked for extra euro 15, and there was no splash point. They sell non-money service to ensure you’re well-informed. There’s also a map pin to the hours they host.
My daughter was injured so she couldn't go into the sea, but everyone talked to us and let us feed the fish, so we had a great time.
Superb personal boat with the ideal swimming top and proposal for a walk to see the caves for a small fee
Well looked after on the cruise. Most of the staff were good, guy serving drinks was a bit miserable and short with people. Stopped and swam in a couple of places. Did speed boat ride (15 euros each) which was good. Get there early if you want to get a sun bed (padded mat on deck). Overall a good day.
The tour was overcrowded, with actual seating for only a few guests. The rest of us had to sit around on the gunwales of the boat, and on the floor, pretty uncomfortable. The boat did not feel very clean. You are given 1 plastic disposable cup when you board, you better guard it, my 81 year old mother lost her cup and was told it would not be replaced…wow a cheap plastic cup. The crew was not particularly friendly. The picture in the online description of the blue lagoon looks good, it too was overcrowded, with a very very small beach area. The seas were very rough on our trip, the boat has a large amount of movement in rough water. If you don’t like a lot of second hand smoke, and I mean all day, this excursion may not be for you. The food was not good either. I have been on many excursions and was extremely disappointed.
I am rating this based on the lack of clarity of the booking. My wife and I booked on reviews saying the operator would accomodate cruise ships to ensure we would get back to our ship on time. Note they return at 530 pm so if you are on a cruise this is important. The end time is not posted in their ad. We had to back on at the last second and lost our money.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish fernandes is such a guy he is funny and makes you feel welcome aboard loved the trip across the sea and seeing some stunning spots would 100% do this again
too many people on the ship, if you are not among the first you end up on the ground in direct sunlight everything would be tolerable, in the end we were picked up by a big bus which drove us around Malta for 2 hours to the hotel for 20 euros, a bolt taxi will bring you there in 15 minutes
Dear Erik please contact us as soon as possible as the land transport we provide is already included in the cruise price so you should not have been charged an additional €20 and our land transport usually takes an average of 30 minutes depending on where you are staying, and never anything close to 2 hours. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can look into the matter. Regards Michael 22/07/2024. UPDATE: Please contact us as we have no booking in the name of Eric U so we have no way of contacting you. Thank you 24/07/2024
