About
Virtu Ferries provides a High Speed Passenger / Car Ferry Service between Malta and Sicily. A schedule of just over 1000 round trips per year, provide for year-round Day Return Excursions to Sicily from Malta and similar seasonal excursions to Malta from Sicily; these excursions, of ever increasing popularity, have turned Malta and Sicily into two-point tourist destinations. Significantly the schedule also caters for niche commercial markets with a daily interchange of fresh agricultural and dairy products and fish between the two islands. Saint John Paul II and Jean De La Valette before her have revolutionized transport, and consequently trade, between these two Mediterranean islands.
