Virtu Ferries, that operates ferries between Malta and Pozzallo in Sicily, has announced that due to increased demand on Tuesday 31st March and Saturday 4th April, it has updated the sailing schedule to offer more convenient options for prospective travellers.

Given that 31st March is a public holiday in Malta (marking Freedom Day!), many are likely to take the opportunity for a short getaway to enjoy the Sicilian spring sun – and vice versa for those hopping over from Sicily to Malta!

Here are the times for the ferries on those days:

Tuesday 31st March
MLA – POZ 05:00 – 06:45
MLA – POZ 07:30 – 09:15
POZ – MLA 19:30 – 21:15
POZ – MLA 22:00 – 23:45

Saturday 4th April
MLA – POZ 05:00 – 06:45
MLA – POZ 08:00 – 09:45
POZ – MLA 18:30 – 21:15
POZ – MLA 20:30 – 22:15

Setting sail this spring?
