If you ask a regular Joe on the street on what they think Kosher or Jewish cruises are, chances are they might tell you that it’s a cruise for Jews that take them on tours to places that are important in their history. They won’t be wrong. But they won’t be completely right either. Yes, They Do Jewish Tours Giving importance to the heritage of Jews in other countries is always a good thing — we can learn a lot from our past and be inspired by our ancestors’ accomplishments. It’s one of the highlights of many kosher trips. Take Kosher River Cruises for example. They just did a trip to Provence this November, and next year they will be having cruises to Porto and the Douro River Valley. These areas in France and Portugal, respectively, have a long, colorful history with the Jews, and there are a lot of heritage sites to show for it. Provence’s relationship with its Jewish communities have lasted nearly two thousand years, while Porto has much to thank the Jews for when it comes to its thriving wine industry. But They Take You On Other Adventures Too KRC doesn’t just have Jewish heritage tours. They will also be having a kosher river cruise to the Mekong in Southeast Asia next year. Last January 2019, they went on a trip to the Amazon. Those don’t have any Jewish sites to show you, but cruise guests have ancient temples to explore and rainforests to trek. So What Makes A Cruise Kosher? It’s not the destinations that make a cruise kosher. It’s the program, the food preparation, the rabbis, and the services. On a kosher cruise, the meals are all prepared under the mashgiach’s supervision. Everyone, even the boat, takes a break during the Shabbat. There’s a synagogue onboard where you can attend lectures and worship services. Simply put, a kosher cruise is kosher when it follows the laws G-d made for us.
