For the next seven days, Malta will be cut off from the rest of Europe for anyone wishing to travel by sea because Virtu Ferries will be suspending its service for maintenance purposes.
I would love to know the reason Grandi Navi Veloci and Grimaldi lines stopped offering car ferry services to Malta. Given their reasonable prices, I am sure they were taking business away from Virtu Ferries. Virtu Ferries can now (and do!) charge whatever they like as they enjoy a monopoly.
