Norway’s Serene Beauty on Full Display

Experience the breathtaking tranquility of Norway as you journey through one of the most picturesque regions in the world. Begin with a visit to the charming capital city of Oslo, where modern Scandinavian culture meets deep-rooted history. Stroll through elegant streets, explore world-class museums, and soak in the city’s refined yet welcoming atmosphere.

From there, embark on scenic cruises through Oslofjord and Sognefjord, where nature’s majesty unfolds before your eyes. Glide past snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and quaint villages tucked into green hillsides. The Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, offers truly dramatic landscapes—its towering cliffs and mirror-like waters create an unforgettable visual symphony.

Whether you’re gazing out from the deck or capturing the views with your camera, Norway’s natural wonders will leave you in awe at every turn. From serene waters to majestic mountains, this is Nordic beauty at its finest.

Our newest ship, Rotterdam, delivers the best of everything we do: exquisite cuisine, award-winning service, superbly appointed staterooms and suites, and world-class entertainment.

THANK YOU! The learning opportunities were incredible. My heart and mind is filled with deep Torah and I am grateful. Thank you for sharing insights and learning tools with us Rabbi Fohrman, Imu, Reena and Davina. All sessions were so impactful! Such a fabulous experience! Thank you David and Chana & the Kosher Travelers team especially your boys!

Shabbat Shalom from the Hackett Family.

Dear David and Chana –

We want to thank you for hosting us and our children on an amazing kosher tour of Iceland this summer!!!  

You put together a non-stop thrill ride of exhilarating other-worldly experiences, taking care of all the logistics, transportation, guides, venue selections, scheduling and other details and catering to the interests of all ages in the family.  At the same time, you were able to customize the program to accommodate our own requests and suggestions, all seamlessly integrated.  All we needed to do was show up and we found ourselves climbing glaciers, riding snowmobiles, speeding through arctic glacial waters on zodiac boats, navigating through lava caves and hiking through the most spectacular scenery we have ever encountered.

You were always there to address any special needs that arose and we particularly appreciated your efforts to accommodate our various family members’ food allergies – and of course your arranging for Anthony to lein his bar mitzva parasha on his birthday!   You were both also great company and great hosts at all times.

Kol hakavod and we will be reminiscing about our Iceland trip with you for many years to come, always over a glass of Floki!

Best wishes,

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

Fantastic videos Adina! And Rima thank you for taking all of us on the lava tunnel tour with you. From all the great photos it looks like the last 2 days were amazing. We appreciate and thank Kosher Travelers for an excellent and fun tour
It was so great to have adventures and learn Torah with everyone! I hope we meet again. Safe travels home.

Hawaii Dec 2022

This week’s JPOST article “Celebrity style on the Baltic seas” (September 25) struck a familiar chord, since we too have recently returned from a pampering Mediterranean cruise.

However, we sailed on a cruise operated by Kosher Travelers, with gourmet kosher cuisine, alongside daily prayer minyanim and shiurim, a proper Shabbat atmosphere, and excursions on shore with outstanding Jewish
content.

For the religious traveler, this facilitates the finest form – intellectually, culturally and spiritually – of high-end tourism.

For more information see www.koshertravelers.com

We enjoyed the Mediterranean tour so much that we already booked another cruise next summer to the Baltics!

Many thanks for the special efforts on my behalf. The meals in Dublin were outstanding… All the hotels were very beautiful and well located.

To David and Chana,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation to Batumi, Georgia in August 2022.  It was truly a pleasure to not have to worry about a single thing!! The delicious food and wonderful company only made it better. Chana, you are a master at taking care of people and paying attention to the little details.  We definitely hope to be able to travel with you again sometime soon.
