Sitting and thinking about where to go and what to do this summer, I was confronted with the following quandary. The average person gets to go away for a week or at most two weeks throughout the year. However, with the heavy workload and being a good family man, who has time to research and plan an all inclusive and overall rewarding travel itinerary that would allow us the right balance of relaxation and creative recreation that we need to rejuvenate ourselves before zoning back into reality?
It’s for this precise reason that G-d created Kosherica. Before I actually ever embarked on a trip with the Kosherica family I too was amused by this appellation, but once you experience first hand what it takes to ensure happy cruising for hundreds, sometimes thousands of discerning travelers you too will realize that it takes nothing less than a cruise specialist to get the job done.
The Kosherica Company has garnered a reputation of excellence in the Kosher travel industry in traveling to the most breathtaking destinations aboard the worlds most progressive and luxurious cruise-liners accompanied with always the finest lineup of entertainers, thought provoking and insightful scholars as well as a culinary team which is second to none. But despite all of their accomplishments they are not one to rest on their laurels. Just when you thought you have seen it all, the team at Kosherica has returned to the drawing board looking for a new uncharted destinations or a series of new onboard programs that will pique the interest of their satisfied customers as well attract those who have not yet joined their extended family – which is what each client essentially is.
If you have already been with Kosherica to Alaska, Europe, Bermuda, Caribbean’s or to anyone of their exciting destinations, you can rest assured that this summers roster of cruises and programs will in no way resemble the trips that you have embarked on in the past. New to this summers cruises are a series of exclusive Jewish Heritage Tours in various destinations which hold strong Jewish interest and significance. With eight different cruises, five to the Mediterranean beginning 6/26/11 (aboard the All Star Epic), 7/4/11 (Greek Isles featuring World Renowned Cantor Yaakov Motzen), 8/14/11 (Portugal Belgium & Spain), 8/15/11(Greek Isles) and 8/21/11 (Spain, Monaco & Italy) and three to the Baltic’s and Russia beginning 7/3/11 (Norwegian Fjords), 7/10/11 and 8/24/11 (featuring Cantor Chaim Adler, Chief Cantor in the Tel Aviv Great Synagogue).
On the Mediterranean cruise expect to visit Barcelona, Florence, Rome and Naples as well as landmarks such as the Jewish Ghetto of Rome, the Arch of Titus as well as the Museo Ebraico which recounts the history of the Jews in Rome during the Middle ages, the Papal Era as well as during Nazi Occupation. It is a real opportunity for us to reaffirm our connection to the world of yesteryear and appreciate the self sacrifice of a generation of our people who paved the way for a flourishing Judaism in the 21rst Century.
Setting Kosher Cruise history, for the first time on the Baltic and Russia Cruises Kosherica will be stopping for a full day in Berlin as well as two days to St Petersburg where we will have the opportunity to come face to face with both the brightest and darkest part of our history. While Berlin has become synonymous with the war which claimed a third of our people and over a million of which were children. Berlin at the turn of the 20th Century was home to some of the worlds most significant, Jewish, Zionist figures of this Century such as, Physicist Albert Einstein, director Billy Wilder, Nobel Prize laureates Shalom Yosef Agnon and Nelly Sachs, Philosopher Martin Buber and the late leader of the worldwide Chabad movement, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
You don’t become a cruise specialist over night. It’s a title that has been achieved through years of researching the world’s most fascinating destinations and most luxurious cruise-liners as well as having a finger on the pulse of the Jewish traveler. Kosherica has proven to be the Glatt Kosher Tour Leader with their ability to consistently generate new and exciting travel itinerary to make each getaway a memorable experience.
