As more Jews become more interested in their culture and history, Jewish cruises are becoming more competitive, creating more immersive and engaging Jewish tours.
Many travelers, particularly those who have Jewish ancestors or practice Judaism, take these tours because they want to learn their history, pay homage to Jews of the past, or simply explore the region’s Jewish communities.
One of the best ways to take a heritage tour is through river cruises.
River cruises can go to remote locations and are also known for their active, immersive, and educational activities.
Right now, there are many cruise lines that offer a Jewish themed tour. But there are Jewish-run cruises that offer more than just a themed cruise.
These are the top river cruises that you should definitely try for a great Jewish cruise experience.
Kosher River Cruise
A notable Jewish cruise is the Kosher River Cruise. It is a luxury river cruise known for its immersive excursions and state-of-the-art river boats. They are also known for their exemplary customer service.
Its best-known destinations are the Danube River, the Rhone River, the Mekong River, the Douro River and northern Italy. They also have exotic destinations such as the Mekong River, the Ganges River in India, and the Amazon River.
Another great thing about the kosher river cruise is that they are all-inclusive. So you don’t have to spend extra on any of the activities. Also, Glatt kosher food is available from morning until midnight. Guests will have no problem keeping fit because there is also a gym and spa on board.
kosherica
Another notable fully kosher cruise is Kosherica Cruises. Being in the industry for 25 years, Kosherica now sails to more destinations compared to other river cruises in the industry.
It has fantastic five-departure liners offering gourmet kosher glatt freshly prepared by chefs who are under strict supervision.
Its unique selling point is its non-stop entertainment like Las Vegas style casinos, comedians and magicians too. For children, Kosherica offers different workshops, a kids’ club and also exclusive areas for teenagers.

If you don’t like to spend a lot, Cruise Kosher is for you. A Kosherica subsidy, Cruise Kosher is a good alternative for those who want to go on a Jewish cruise but are on a tight budget. They serve Glatt kosher meals and you can enjoy different salads and hot foods for breakfast and lunch and meat options for dinner.
