Traveling on your own

Jewish Singles Trips: Traveling Alone with Kosher Travelers

We do not run trips only for singles. We run kosher hotel programs, tours and cruises that guests join on their own every year. This page says which suit you, and what to ask before you book.

Plainly

What we run, and what we do not

If you searched for Jewish singles vacations, here is the short answer, so you can decide whether we are the right fit.

Our trips are open to everyone. Couples, families, friends and people traveling alone come to the same hotel programs, tours and cruises, and the kosher kitchen, the services and the days are all looked after for the whole group. We do not run matchmaking, and the trips are not organized around being single. For someone who wants a good kosher holiday and would rather not plan it alone, that is often what is needed.

Open to all: One group, every kind of traveler. There are no religious requirements to join any trip, and we never ask about your observance.
Looked after: Kosher meals, services and the program are arranged for you, so you are not working out food or Shabbat in a place you do not know.
A room of your own: Prices are quoted for two sharing, and a single room is booked with a supplement. The supplement for each trip, to be confirmed
Ask first: Tell us you are coming alone when you inquire, and we will say which trips and rooms suit.

Which trip

Jewish singles tours and vacations: the trips that suit someone on their own

Three kinds of trip, and what each is like if you arrive without a travel companion.

Pesach and Sukkot hotel programs, in Israel and in Rhodes

A hotel program is the whole chag in one hotel: nothing to pack in the middle, and the day is yours between the meals and the shiurim. Shabbat and Yom Tov are full board. For a first trip alone it is the simplest to picture, because the building holds the meals, the services and the program. Our Israel programs are the Pesach weeks at the Inbal in Jerusalem and at Nof Ginosar, and the Sukkot week at David's Harp, with more on the Israel page. Every program for the coming year is on Passover programs 2027.

Kosher cruises

On a cruise you unpack once and the ship moves while you sleep. The days ashore are as active as you make them and the days at sea are for rest and the lectures. Couples, friends and travelers on their own all sail with us. Traveling alone? Ask us about a cabin for one. See kosher cruises.

Escorted tours

The tours are touring weeks: full days on foot at markets, old towns and castles, with the coach in between, and Shabbat as a rest day. They suit couples, friends and solo travelers who are happy to walk for much of the day and keep to a group timetable. A room of your own carries a single supplement, which differs from tour to tour, to be confirmed. See kosher tours and Jewish heritage tours.

At the table

Shabbat meals and company when you arrive on your own

For many people traveling alone, Shabbat is the question. Here is what we can say, and what we are checking.

On the hotel programs the Shabbat and Yom Tov meals are served in the hotel, with full board, and the services are in the building. You are not left to find a meal or a minyan.
