TOV Tours and Kosher Passover Cruises join together and invite you to spend Passover At Sea on board Holland America Lines ms Veendam sailing from Tampa Florida trans Panama Canal to San Diego California.

We will also have the ms Veendams elegant main restaurant for use during the cruise. Breakfast and Lunch are open seating with extended hours for your convenience. Seders will be held in our dining area, reserved solely for our group. And, of course, you will enjoy the finest gourmet Kosher cuisine for the entire cruise, served on our own china and freshly prepared with lots of choices at every meal. Kashruth is under traditional Conservative Supervision as set forth by our Rabbi.

A sail-a-way buffet, afternoon tea and late evening snacks will be offered too. Complimentary ceremonial Kosher wine will be served at our Seders and fine Kosher wines will be available for purchase in the Dining Room during the entire voyage. Those of you who have spent previous Passover holidays with us can attest to the extraordinarily high quality, abundance and attractiveness of the Kosher cuisine we offer. It is, quite simply, the best anywhere on land or at sea!

Daily services conducted by Rabbi and Cantor and other special events will be offered exclusively for our group. Kosher Passover Cruises offers a unique program of lectures, led by our scholars in residence.

This is the Passover program to attend. No other Passover program comes even close! Join us and experience the very best for yourself.

Our Philosophy

Our Kosher Cruise Program has been developed to serve the needs of a broad segment of the Jewish Community welcoming all branches of Judaism to join with us. Again this year we offer you the chance to enjoy all the fun of cruising without having to "make do" with frozen airline type Kosher food.

Our unique program lets you enjoy Holland America Lines renowned entertainment, casino, shopping, spa services and great itineraries and freshly prepared gourmet Kosher food! Once again we offer a Passover At Sea program that offers the highest levels of friendly service and great food
