The chefs of Kosher River Cruises have created specialized menus to cater to all of our guests’ dietary needs and other special requests while they embark on our kosher tours. This includes guests who are sensitive to gluten and/or are vegans and vegetarians. As such, we have a gluten-free menu just for them.

Here are some of the recipes that we serve:
