Join your hosts, the fabulous Caroline Munro, presenter of The Cellar Club, and Talking Pictures’ own Noel Cronin BEM, on a trip of a lifetime to the picture perfect island of Malta, the location for many classic movies.
Your Malta Experience
The island of Malta has long been a popular destination for film directors, drawn by the diversity of its landscapes and its fascinating historical buildings. The legendary stop-motion animator and special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen chose Malta as the setting for his classic sword-and sorcery film Sinbad and The Eye of The Tiger, and you’ll explore several of these cinematic locations on this eight-day tour with expert local guides from your hotel base on the sunny harbour front in Qawra.
You will also tour locations from films including: Baby and the Battleship, Bedford Incident, Clash of the Titans, Eyewitness, Gladiator, Hell Boats, Mackintosh Man, Midnight Express, Orca, Popeye, Pulp, Shout at the Devil, Single Handed, Sons of the Sea, Tell England, Treasure in Malta, Twist of Sand and Vendetta for The Saint.
Making this trip extra special will be the opportunity to join the audience as Noel interviews Caroline about her illustrious film career. Your adventure starts with a full day exploring the elegant capital, Valletta, where you’ll spot locations from films including Malta Story, Battle of the River Plate and Mister Jerico. Over the next few days, look forward to exploring The Three Cities – Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua – where you’ll explore filming locations from Mister Jerico, Black Eagle and They Who Dare, amongst others. You’ll also get the chance to look inside the Malta Film Studios, subject to filming schedules.
You’ll be based at the four-star Santana Hotel in Qawra, where you’ll have breakfast and several dinners included. This stylish hotel is located in St Paul’s Bay, just moments from the elegant seafront promenade. During your free time, enjoy the hotel’s indoor and outdoor pools, sun terrace and poolside bar.
