By ALI DAHER FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Delta Goodrem‘s wedding celebrations have officially gone offshore.
The Aussie pop princess, 40, continued her romantic Maltese nuptials with an extravagant day at sea on Friday, hosting an exclusive yacht party for close friends two days after tying the knot with longtime love Matthew Copley.
The group set sail from the coast of Valletta, boarding a luxury chartered yacht to cruise the sparkling Mediterranean in true celebrity style – and not a detail was spared.
From diving into the crystal-clear water and soaking up the sun to clinking champagne flutes and sharing sweet moments on deck, the newlyweds and their glamorous guests enjoyed a relaxed yet glitzy day of post-wedding bliss.
Before slipping into her swimsuit, Delta was pictured arriving in a stunning powder-blue sleeveless gown that hugged her frame and featured a dramatic draped detail at the waist.

The star-studded nuptials had reportedly been two years in the making, with guests receiving detailed schedules ahead of the big day.
The Innocent Eyes hitmaker enjoyed her hen’s party in Sydney back on April 26, surrounded by close friends before jetting overseas for the lavish affair.
Delta recently wrapped up a series of exclusive shows in the UK to mark 20 years since her iconic Mistaken Identity album, but it wasn’t just her singing that had people talking.
The songstress, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023.
‘My best friend asked me to marry him,’ she giddily captioned the image, alongside a ring emoji.
Delta also shared footage of the precious moment to the social media platform.
Malta holds a particularly special place in her heart – not only was it the setting for her romantic engagement to Matthew, but it also boasts deep personal and professional ties for the singer.
In a video shared on YouTube in 2023, Delta opened up about her bond with the southern European nation.
‘My partner’s family are all from Malta,’ she said, before adding that many of her longtime band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage.
