Malta Direct, a brand of Crownshield Travel Ltd, built a long-standing reputation as one of the UK's leading specialists for holidays to Malta, Gozo and Comino. With over 40 years of combined experience across the Crownshield group, the team offered deep destination knowledge alongside flexible booking options and competitive pricing. Whether travellers wanted a fully packaged break, flights only or accommodation alone, Malta Direct tailored each booking to individual needs.
The Maltese archipelago offers a remarkable variety of experiences for all types of holidaymaker. Malta itself combines a sun-drenched coastline with a wealth of UNESCO-listed historic sites, while the quieter island of Gozo is renowned for its dramatic clifftop scenery and crystal-clear diving waters. The tiny island of Comino, famous for the vivid Blue Lagoon, attracts day-trippers seeking some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean. Malta Direct's brochure covered hotels and resorts across all three islands, from family-friendly beach properties to boutique retreats.
One of Malta Direct's key strengths was the breadth of booking options available to customers. Travellers could choose between all-inclusive packages, bed and breakfast arrangements, or self-catering accommodation. The operator also offered late-availability deals and last-minute offers designed to help holidaymakers make the most of their budget. Flights were available from a range of UK regional airports, reducing the need for domestic travel before departure.
Beyond sun and sand, Malta Direct promoted a wide range of activities and add-ons through its brochure. Scuba diving and snorkelling excursions took advantage of the island's exceptional underwater visibility. Boat cruises, coastal walks, golf courses and spa facilities provided options for those seeking something beyond the beach. Food lovers could explore Malta's distinctive cuisine, a blend of Mediterranean and North African influences, at restaurants ranging from harbourside fish spots to fine-dining venues in Valletta.

This gave customers reassurance that their money and travel arrangements were secure in the event of the company ceasing to trade.
