Canary Islands Cruise; Archipelago Wonders aboard Norwegian Star, NCL; 10 nights

20-29 October 2026

The Perfect Cruise to The Canary Islands

Sail through a beautiful chain of islands boasting 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, breathtaking panoramas, a wide range of outdoor activities, significant cultural sightseeing and a famously laid-back vibe. Welcome to the Canary Islands – where sun and sand meet volcanic landscapes, sub-tropical forests and a bustling food and wine scene. Fall in love with the charm of Tenerife and the glory of Teide National Park. Crank up the energy windsurfing in Fuerteventura. Dive into history and culture in Gran Canaria. Take our word for it, the Canary Islands really sing.

Islas Canarias as they are known are at the Southern Coast of Spain and are the largest and most populous portion of Macaronesia – a collection of four volcanic archipelagos off the continents of Africa and Europe. These islands were formed when the peaks of ocean-floor seamounts rose above the ocean’s surface. Because of the resulting mountains, the islands have some of the best star gazing in the world, and even contain two renowned observatories.

Dear David and Chana The experience in the Danube tour was very good.HAwai 5 star program was unforgettable and first opportunity to cover all places with kosher meals.This Pesach in Rhodes you superated yourselves in every aspect.The resident scholars left a positive mark on the entire group and all without exeption were aprochable for personal contact .The food and respective kidush and beverage selection aside having gourmet status,which is a great challenge considering the size of the crowd,had daily inovation for satisfaction of the most finicky elements (myself included)Rooms and service were beyond reproach. The Baal tefilos and the duration of the davenen was uplifting without separate concert

For the past three years, our entire family has enjoyed the excellent experience of sharing Pesach with you at your program on the Kinneret. Our parents, children, grandchildren and we—and some extended family, too—have received the care and consideration of David and Chana Walles and their family and staff that have enhanced our Chag immensely. This is no small task, considering we consist of from 32 to 52 persons of all ages (currently the eldest is 94 and the youngest is 7). We are veterans of 21 years of Pesach programs in the US, so we have a pretty good idea of what drives a program’s success. Your program—and you, your family and staff—are among the best of the best in service, attention to detail, location, programming and facilities. We hope to continue our Pesach relationship with you and Eddie’s Travel for years to come.

The Kosher Travelers – a wonderfully integrated group of 35 guests included participants from age 17 up to 74 — fearlessly climbed to beautiful vistas and geological marvels of this unique country. We visited waterfalls, glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, and lava generated dreamscape rock formations.    

Sailing out in a motorized rubber dinghy to see the largest glacier in Europe which Icelanders talk about as if it were an old friend or a venerable relative, we toasted our arrival with a shot of Floki – a local whisky, on the rocks – in this case a chunk of 500-year-old glacier ice.

Our fantastic knowledgeable guide, Yossi Ben Ami, was so enamored of the history and geology of everyplace we visited, that his enthusiasm became contagious. The waterfalls were lacy elegant streams falling from on high or thundering torrents rivaling the legendary Sambatyon River which rages six days a week and rests on Shabbos.

Our delicious meals were always beautifully presented usually in our own private dining room. For Shabbat we were treated to delicious meals at the Chabad house in Rejkavik, Iceland’s capital city.  Rebbetzin Mushky and Rabbi Avi Feldman were most gracious hosts. 

We flew up to Akureyri, known as the Northern capital of Iceland. A delightful small town, which boasts the northern most botanical garden in the world, traffic lights which feature a heart-shaped red light, and an airport runway in the middle of a fjord and a protected nature preserve know as the Black Castle where huge lava formations suggest birds, cathedrals, or whatever your imagination can conjure up.

On our last day we visited the Sky Lagoon – a heavenly Oceanside thermal spa. While there, after luxuriating in the relaxing warmth you can go in for the ‘Ritual’ treatment which starts with a dunk in rather cold water then continues with a salt/mineral scrub, a sauna and other delights.

The hotels were all well-located and comfortable. The other tour members from around the United States, Europe and Israel were a fun-loving, intelligent, cosmopolitan, amiable group.

Kosher Travelers has many other imaginative invigorating trips planned. Don’t leave home without them. Contact the company at koshertravelers.com.

Good evening David

We are just back from the China trip – tired and coldish but utterly exhilarated by all we have seen and experienced. Rona and Aaron Michelson were simply marvellous and the tour more than lived up to our expectations.   We are also very grateful to you for organising our onward trip to Hong Kong. All the arrangements worked like clockwork and the hotel was superb. Our guide -Canny – who we highly recommend –  made our four day stay really enjoyable and took us at a sensible pace.   Our appetites have been truly whetted for more ‘kosher’ explorations and we look forward to another adventure perhaps this time next year.   Shabbat shalom and regards

Thank you David and Chana for such an opportunity and experience. We had an absolute amazing and unforgettable time filled with great memories! Our group was just as amazing and wonderful. It was an absolute pleasure meeting all of you and hoping to see you on future trips with Kosher travelers! 

Dubai Tour November 2022

I was also at Kosher Travelers in Rhodes. Great program. David and Chana Walles came over to each of us personally and introduced themselves on first day- they were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Food great and plentiful. Staff amazing. Good camp and entertainment. Beautiful hotel with nice grounds and stunning trails in the area. Very well organized luxury program. I would definitely book with Kosher Travelers again.

We had an excellent time. This was the 6th time we’ve been away for pesach and it it was the best of the six. The food was excellent; the room was too (a garden flat). We met quite a few people and we sat with our friends. Rabbi Cardoza was very thought-provoking. Thank you.

Our tour leader was most knowledgeable and enthusiastic which in turn transferred to us. He made sure that all our needs were met down to the nitty griddies! The hotels and food were par excellence! Since we were so pleased with everything, we would like to join you on some of your other tours
