Passover programs have become very popular over the past 15 years. Pesach is a great time to take a vacation as many people are off from work and school. The spring season almost guarantees pleasant weather no matter where you travel for the holiday. There are Passover programs throughout the United States, from the east to the west coast. Many people head south to the Bahamas, Mexico, Panama or South America. Passover vacation in Israel has always been popular with people returning to the same program every year. Europe has gained in popularity over the past decade, with programs in Italy, France, Greece and Spain, to name a few. Most recently, Morocco and Dubai have become exotic Pesach vacation destinations.
Families choose to join Passover programs near and far each year. But, the question on everybody’s mind is, how much does a Passover program cost? What is the range of prices for Pesach programs? Some programs list prices in U.S. dollars while others list in Euros. Either way people want to know what they will have to spend to join a Passover program. There is no one price point for Passover programs. There is a range of pricing for Passover programs because every program is different. Guests at Passover programs are paying a price based on the hotel, amenities, food and what the program is offering. This will vary from program to program. The cost of the Pesach program will reflect the services offered by the program. There is also a range of prices within programs depending on the rooms chosen.
Passover programs at luxury resort hotels with spas and golf courses that offer gourmet food, famous lecturers and entertainers will cost more than a basic Passover program. These programs invest a lot of money to get top chefs, famous singers, quality child care programs and activities. All of this will be reflected in the price of the program. A more basic program will be at a nice hotel, providing meals and religious services. There is a gamut of Passover programs in between. Some have programming for kids, lectures and entertainment. The range in what programs have to offer leads to a wide range in pricing for Passover programs.

Another issue affecting the cost of Passover programs is the location of the program. Certain locations are known to be more expensive than others. Passover programs in the US tend to be more expensive than other locations, especially in Florida and Arizona. Pesach programs in Europe tend to be more affordable, depending on the program. There is a lot of research to do when looking into the costs of Passover programs. A less expensive program makes Pesach vacations more affordable for more families.
So, how much does a Passover program cost? What will you have to pay to go on that Pesach vacation that you have been dreaming about? We asked our users and advertisers and have compiled a list of rates based on their responses.
A few things to bear in mind, when looking at the costs of Passover programs listed below:
- The quotes are based partly on operator feedback and partly on guests - a mixture of both.
- We included only 5 star hotels (and up) - for more budget friendly prices, there are cheaper offers for 4 star and 4 star plus hotels.
- Rates do not include flights or any type of transportation, unless mentioned specifically, so cheaper offers in Europe might get to be a substantial cost, considering late booking and rising flight costs.
- There may be additional administrative fees, taxes and service charges that are not included in the price.
- This list is based on 2022 prices, and will be updated when we will receive information about Pesach 2023 programs costs.
- Rates are per person based on double occupancy for 10 days/9 nights.
