Here are the best Passover cruises in 2024

There’s a unique opportunity for the Jewish community to enjoy a luxury Passover getaway, away from the typical Easter crowds this year. With most cruise lines offering Kosher dining options, it’s the perfect time to take a cruise!

We need to travel to see the world; to feel it and taste it. And with all that’s going on in our lives, there seems to be fewer opportunities to do that. Work pressures, time spent commuting, day-to-day responsibilities (the school run, the cooking, the endless pile of laundry), and a heap of other background anxieties leave us playing catch up and with no time to ourselves nor to do what we want to do.

On the other hand, the Passover holiday period in 2024 offers a unique opportunity. Falling on different dates to Easter, we can enjoy a vacation away from the typical holiday crowds and without the exorbitant airfares that this time of year is normally associated with. Take this opportunity to celebrate the holiday season, make a little time for yourself and tick a couple of items off your bucket lists.

Treat yourselves to the rest and relaxation you deserve. Finally do that luxury cruise you’ve always dreamed of and see parts of the world you’ve always wanted to see. This article outlines the best Passover cruises in 2024.


Why take a luxury cruise at Passover?

Passover is a time for reflection, celebration and unity. Traditional seders and family gatherings are obviously essential for this holiday, but an emerging trend is for families to use Passover as a time to get away from their usual day-to-day lives and live a little. Travellers — more specifically, cruisers — can still observe rich traditions associated with the holiday, but combine them with luxury, sightseeing and indulgence. 

Cruises at Passover in 2024

Push the boat out and use this opportunity to do something special for the holiday period.  Passover 2024 starts on the evening of Monday 22nd April 2024 and ends on Tuesday 30th April. It’s a great time to take a luxury cruise anyway, with the weather starting to turn and spring finally in bloom! On the other hand, Easter 2024 is celebrated from Friday 29th March to Friday, 12th April.
