On-Board Kosher Dining in a Class of Its Own: Eddie's Travel is one of the only Kosher Cruise Operators in the world that brings its own chefs onto the ship to freshly prepare all cuisine daily on board - including main courses (as opposed to other operators who use the ship's chefs on board to finish off and garnish pre-prepared and frozen main dishes).
Our own carefully-selected world class chefs meticulously design each menu and prepare every meal on board from fresh ingredients - you will taste the difference and delight in the choice!
All meat is Glatt kosher. Our Kosher kitchen is under the full-time supervision of a team of mashgichim whom we bring on-board, headed by our resident cruise Rav Mashgiach (click here to read more about the Rav Mashgiach on this cruise).
Your additional Jewish needs have also all been catered for, with provisions that include stimulating Jewish entertainment and lectures, daily Minyanim, Shiurim and an on-board rabbi to assist where needed.
