Eddie's Travel & Maritime Glatt Kosher MGK

You will enjoy the finest & most delicious Gourmet Glatt kosher cuisine of uncompromising quality and strict kashrut standards. Our own staffs 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 and milk products are Chalav Yisrael. Our on-board Kosher kitchen is under the full time supervision of a team of mashgichim, headed by our cruise Rav HaMachshir. We send a larger team of mashgichim per cruise, in comparison to other existing operators.

All our cruises are Glatt Kosher, Chalav Yisrael and Pat Yisrael.
Your additional Jewish needs have also all been catered for, including stimulating Jewish entertainment and lectures, daily Minyanim, Shiurim, Shabbat arrangements and on-board rabbi to assist where needed.

The MGK is a conglomerate of various Rabbanim who all are either currently or have previously held the highest administrative positions in mainstream Kashrut organizations. Each Rav Hamachshir is responsible for hiring and training his own group of mashgichim who will support him in the supervision of that particular cruise. Our Head Mashgichim have all had cruise supervision experience, a critical element in insuring that the highest level of Kashrut be maintained.
