SEE THE WORLD. STAY IN YOUR WORLD.
ENTIRE SHIPS. ENTIRELY KOSHER.
For more than 35 years, we have been creating extraordinary kosher travel experiences around the world.
Today, Kosher River Cruises & KRC Expeditions offers something truly different: intimate riverboats and expedition ships chartered entirely for our guests.
Extraordinary destinations. Exceptional kosher cuisine. Jewish history and heritage. Curated exploration. Inspiring educators and special guests. Meaningful Shabbat experiences. And the warmth of traveling with a community that shares your values.
One remarkable journey. One extraordinary community. One entirely kosher ship.
Your Ship. Your Community. Your World.
A Completely Different Kind of Kosher Cruise
Most kosher cruises place a kosher group aboard a large ship shared with thousands of other passengers.
We do something completely different.
We charter the entire ship exclusively for our guests, creating an intimate, luxurious and entirely kosher experience for an average of just 100 travelers.
From the moment you step aboard, the ship is ours. The kitchen is kosher. The programming and touring are created for our guests. And the people around you share the moments, making every kosher holiday feel more personal and connected.
There are no separate kosher dining areas and no sharing your vacation with thousands of other passengers.
Just our ship. Our guests. Our community.
Luxury Without Complications
Unpack Once. Let the World Come to You.
Wake each morning somewhere new.
Step ashore to explore fascinating cities, charming villages, spectacular landscapes and places larger ships often cannot reach. At day’s end, return to your own floating sanctuary aboard our luxury kosher cruises, with exceptional cuisine, attentive service and time to relax with friends.
And virtually everything that makes your journey extraordinary is included:
- Curated Shore Excursions
- Jewish Heritage Experiences
- Cultural & Adventure Touring
- Exceptional Kosher Cuisine
- Open Bar or Beverage Credit
- Internet
- Lectures & Special Guests
- Entertainment & Activities
- Religious & Shabbat Programming
That’s the all-inclusive kosher cruise you can expect.
You explore. You experience. You enjoy. We take care of the rest.
Explore Beyond The Ordinary
The Destination Is Why We Travel.
For more than 35 years, we have explored and perfected the destinations we visit—searching beyond the obvious to create experiences ordinary tours and cruises often miss.
Our specially curated excursions combine the must-see highlights with hidden places, local culture, spectacular landscapes and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
Explore historic cities. Walk ancient streets. Discover castles, villages and markets. Bike, hike, shop, taste and connect with the culture around you.
We don’t simply show you the world. We help you experience it.
HISTORY. HERITAGE. INSPIRATION
Discover the World and Your Connection to It.
Where Jewish history exists, we seek it out.
Our journeys uniquely combine the great cultural and historic attractions of each destination with its Jewish history, heritage and living communities.
Over decades of Jewish travel, we have developed relationships with Jewish communities and leaders around the world—giving our guests opportunities to visit historic synagogues and Jewish quarters, hear remarkable stories and connect with Jewish life across the globe.
Our historians, educators, rabbis, destination experts and special guests bring these places to life through engaging lectures, conversations and experiences both aboard ship and ashore.
Some journeys also include powerful moments of remembrance and Tikkun Olam—experiences that transform a wonderful vacation into something far more meaningful.
Seeing a destination is one thing. Understanding it changes everything.
Exceptional Kosher Cuisine
Kosher Without Compromise.
Kosher travel should never mean compromising on dining.
Led by Master Kosher Chef Malcolm Green, our culinary team travels with us, creating the fine-dining experience you expect from luxury kosher cruises.
Beautiful breakfasts. Relaxing lunches. Elegant dinners. Destination-inspired cuisine. Special events. Memorable Shabbat meals.
Rather than relying on catered meals transported from place to place, our chefs travel with us and our kitchen is our own.
Our Rav HaMachshir, Rabbi Yizchak A. Fischer, and his team oversee the highest standards of kashrut throughout every journey.
Glatt Kosher Meat • Cholov Yisroel Dairy • Pas Yisroel Breads & Cakes
Our products and provisions are sourced from supervised suppliers and remain under rabbinical supervision throughout our programs.
The fine-dining experience a luxury cruise should have—entirely kosher.
COME ABOARD AS GUESTS. RETURN HOME AS FRIENDS.
Perhaps the most special part of having an entire ship is the community it creates.
With an average of just 100 guests, we explore together, dine together, learn together and share experiences with people who understand and appreciate what makes a kosher tour special.
And then comes Shabbat.
The touring stops. The pace changes. And our entire ship becomes one Jewish community—filled with beautiful meals, services, learning, conversation, singing, relaxation and time with old and new friends.
There are no outside passengers. There is no separate kosher area.
The entire ship is ours.
It’s one of the things our guests tell us they treasure most.
You aren’t simply joining a kosher cruise. You’re becoming part of a community.
Kashrut
From Morning Until Night
There’s Always Something to Discover.
Our journeys are designed to be as fascinating aboard ship as they are ashore.
Depending on the destination, your day might include historic touring, Jewish heritage sites, biking, hiking, shopping, cooking experiences, museums or local culture.
Back aboard ship, enjoy lectures, special guests, wonderful meals, entertainment, conversation and time with friends.
Do everything. Do something. Or simply relax. It’s your vacation.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS.
35+ Years of Kosher Travel
Extraordinary travel doesn’t happen by accident.
For more than 35 years, our team has created and operated kosher tours and cruise programs around the world.
We don’t simply place a kosher group aboard someone else’s cruise, nor do we purchase and resell another company’s tour.
At Kosher River Cruises, we create and operate our journeys ourselves.
Our travel professionals, cruise directors, educators, rabbinic team, guides, culinary staff and onboard management work together to oversee every aspect of the experience.
As a fully licensed, insured and bonded U.S. tour operator, we combine the professionalism and security of an established travel company with the personal attention of a dedicated team.
EXPERIENCE GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE.
OUR EXPERIENCE GIVES YOU THE FREEDOM TO ENJOY YOURS.
SEE THE WORLD. STAY IN YOUR WORLD.
