2024 KOSHER CRUISES AND TOURS ARE NOW AVAILABLE
Join Kosherica for our 2024 Kosher Cruises to Alaska, the Baltics, the Mediterranean and more.
WHAT TO PACK
Most of the time, you’ll feel comfortable in casual resort wear for all cruises. It is advised to bring breathable clothing to maximize your comfort. Be sure to also bring:
- A lightweight, waterproof coat or jacket, as well as a sweater or warm vest for strolling the decks of the ship and for glacier viewing
- A warm hat and gloves
- Men may want to add an extra pair of slacks, but they’ll find that the same basic dress theme works for them, too (there is no place in Alaska a man cannot go in a sport coat and slacks. Also, a dark suit is appropriate for dinner on board ship)
- Sturdy walking shoes for everyday use (two pairs are suggested) both leather, to stand up to rain if necessary, and a pair with a good arch support
- One or two pairs of dress shoes to accompany your dinner outfit
- Always go on www.weather.com for more info. You can get a 10 day forecast
WEATHER
Weather in Alaska can vary greatly so come prepared. Temperatures in the summer tend to range from about 55 – 70 degrees but can feel much warmer due to the long hours of direct sunlight. Definitely expect drizzles on some days as it’s very similar to rainforest weather.
KOSHER CRUISE PORT HIGHLIGHTS AND EXCURSIONS
Kosherica offers some beautiful Jewish interest excursions in these ports as detailed below:
EXCURSIONS
We always recommend taking the excursions provided by the cruise line as they have some incredible ones to offer that are fit for any level of activity from mild/easy to adventurous. Any excursion that takes you on or near a glacier is definitely going to be a once in a lifetime experience and the cruise line offers various excursions to the glacier. If you are looking to spend a little less, there are some great excursions that you can take on your own which do tend to be less expensive. If you decide to go with a private guide, we recommend doing extensive research ahead of time to make sure the guide is certified by the Better Business Bureau.
