Long Haul Touring Holiday 'Adventures'.. yep that's the way to go .. I've been doing them for years 8) .In the case of the final destination being an off shore Island .. Isle of Man, Majorca, Western Isles .. wherever . the second (and then third to get back) sea crossings are the financial nail in the idea justification box :eek .
In the case of you UK guys .. they are often much more expensive than just getting across to France.
In this case in particular .. I'd give it a miss completely .. Malta really is a real bog hole of a dump (trust me on this one) bugger all there to justify going. Gozo (right next door) is much better .. but then that's a third (and fourth) ferry!
Far better to find the family some sun and sand (by some sea and an Airport) on the mainland and Ride the Bike to and from it :b
Just in my opinion .. as always. Stay Safe
