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.
