A port of call is an intermediate stop for a ship on its sailing itinerary. At these ports, cargo ships may take on supplies or fuel, as well as unloading and loading cargo while cruise liners have passengers get on or off the ship. On a Kosher River Cruise, you will be docking at many, many ports. Sometimes, even up to three ports a day. Since you'll be spending a rather significant amount of time at the ports, maybe you should consider doing these things on your kosher tour. People Watch The port area is one of the greatest economic backbones of the city. Here, you will witness the true and authentic livelihood of the people and a glimpse of their day to day activities. If you have a bit of time after lunch, head down to the port, and just take a seat. It won't cost you anything but time and perception, plus, you can charge it to experience. Take in your surroundings and snap a few photos, or better yet, immerse yourself in the community. It wouldn't hurt to chat up the local fishmonger. They tell the greatest of tales. Hit the Beach This option is particularly popular in the ports of Italy and Greece where the sun is blazing, and the sand is warm. You've spent all your time on the pool deck, why not swim in the ocean for a change? You could go kayaking, snorkeling, or even cliff jumping if you're lucky enough to dock at a port with fantastic tourist destinations like Mykonos. Try the Food Local street vendors are everywhere at the port, and what's a vacation without indulging yourself in the culinary experiences of a different country? If you have concerns about whether the food is Kosher or not, you are free to ask the onboard crew. They've been to these ports multiple times, and they can point you to the best stalls with certified Kosher food. Shop for Antiques Ports aren't complete if they're not riddled with antique shops. Walk further down the port, past the beach, and you're bound to find a hidden gem filled with relics of the country's past. They don't charge an arm and a leg for the items they sell, but gratuities are welcome, and the sellers encourage a good bargain. Also, technically, you aren't allowed to bring back anything to the ship that wasn't purchased for health and safety reasons, so an antique store is your best bet for remembrances.

Maybe you'll find yourself docked and exploring the ports some day.
Lyon—France's third largest city and also its second largest metropolis. Situated it has definitely made its mark in cinema, world cuisine, and history as a whole since the time of the Roman Empire. In fact, part of the city has been deemed so culturally precious that it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998! But for Jews on kosher Europe tours or just traveling on their own, is a trip to this part of France worth their while? The simple answer is—yes! Aside from Lyon's many historical landmarks, there are a few other things that will make your stay here a great addition to your Jewish vacation. There Is A Big Jewish Community Though not as many as the Jews in Paris or Marseilles, there is still a considerably sizable Jewish community living in Lyon. They last numbered at around forty thousand and coordinate with each other to hold educational and cultural programs. They also have institutions there that help the city's needy. You'll find that they are definitely in no short supply of kosher restaurants and accommodations. And should you need a synagogue to attend a service in... There Are Plenty Of Synagogues To Choose From It probably won't come as a surprise if you're used to traveling to places with big Jewish populations, but Lyon has quite a lot of synagogues! There are more than thirty places of worship in the area from different denominations. So whether you're an Orthodox, Conservative, or Reconstructionist traveler, you won't be having any problem finding religious services you can attend if you wish to. But don't forget to drop by Lyon's Grand Synagogue! Exploring the Jewish quarter is always a must, but no Jewish travel experience to Lyon is ever complete without paying a visit to one of the (if not the) city's most notable Jewish historical monuments. So if you ever find yourself headed to Lyon, worry not. You'll find your stay to be comfortable but definitely eventful with all the Jewish and non-Jewish sights for you take in! Traveling requires a certain decorum -- decorum which differs from place to place. The West’s principles are generally known universally, but the East is from a whole different part of the world. To be a global citizen, one must know how to behave in every place that they travel to. This, of course, is not a skill that you learn right away; it is one that is acquired over time. However, a few pointers won't hurt when you embark on Jewish tours with Kosher River Cruise. Here are a few things you need to know before going on a Mekong River Cruise: Avoid public displays of affection Vietnam is still an extremely conservative country; it still shocks the locals when tourists kiss each other on the streets. The Vietnamese believe that these actions should only be done in private. Don't worry; you'll be allowed to hold hands in public, just don't let it get any further than that. Order of Eating It is customary in Vietnamese tradition for the older members of the family to eat first. If you're having a meal with the locals, wait for the older members to take a bite before you dig into your food. To them, it is a way of showing love and respect to their elders. Ask permission before you take pictures This doesn't necessarily apply to tourist destinations; it's more of a rule in the rural areas. You may come off as rude and intrusive if you pull out your camera and start firing away, especially in places such as schools, military areas, or ethnic villages. Do not wear revealing clothes in temples or pagodas To the locals, this will seem offensive. Remember that these are thousand-year-old places of worship and prayer; there are certain traditions that holy places like this uphold. Should you want to visit these places, remember not to wear shorts, skirts or short dresses. Take your shoes off when entering someone's house This rule is universal among all Asian cultures, before entering somebody's home, take your shoes off. Asians normally walk around their house barefoot, or they'd offer a pair of slippers to their guests. It's easier to keep the house clean that way. Cultures differ wherever we go, but how we choose to behave defines who we are as a traveler.
