Richard Joel, President of Yeshiva University and Rabbi Jacob J Schacter, Senior Scholar at YU's Center for the Jewish Future will once again be special guests of this Kosher Cruise. They will provide stimulating lectures and will help to make an exceptional experience even more extraordinary. We are proud & privileged to have them with us.
On this fantastic cruise, you'll visit such cities as the charming Tallin, the cultural and political heart of Estonia, which is renowned for its art galleries and open-air theatres, and each summer hosts a world-famous music festival. So-called 'white nights' when the sun never sets are a particular feature of the city, comparable to those of St Petersburg. The historical sites of Tallin are within easy reach, making the city ideal to explore on foot. Estonia is known for beautiful embroidered cloths, carpets and multicoloured tapestries. Other local specialities include leatherwear and ornate jewelery including silver, topaz and ruby. St.Petersburg, a symbol of Czarist Russian grandeur, has many celebrated attractions including the Peter and Paul Fortress built on the Hares Isle in the Njeva river. Formerly a military stronghold and a place of torture for the Tsar's political enemies, the fortress is now a fascinating museum. The famous Hermitage is one of the best art museums in the world, exhibiting many Tsarist treasures and other masterpieces. The adjacent Winter Palace, official residence of the Tsar, is a classic example of Russian Baroque style, with huge state rooms and opulent decoration, once home to the Russian Royal Court. Petrodvorets, the Summer Palace built for Tsar Peter, is located in a corner of the lovely Summer Gardens. Nevsky Prospekt is probably the most popular street in Russia. It is the commercial and cultural centre of the city, occupied by huge Baroque palaces and location of the city's best shops.
Helsinki and Stockholm are cities where modern styles and splendour of a great past live in harmony. The modern city of Helsinki is a fascinating architectural mix, partly in a style based on St Petersburg and partly a futuristic suburbia. As the capital of Finland, it is also the cultural centre, with more than 30 art galleries and museums. The history of Helsinki, known as the 'daughter of the Baltic', over the past thousand years has not been short of dramatic interludes. At the beginning of the second millennium Finland was strongly influenced by Sweden, despite maintaining official independence. In general, the architecture of Helsinki is a mixture of 19th Century imperial design and 20th Century Art Nouveau. However, the city's most impressive buildings and landmarks are the work of Finland's famous designer Alvar Aalto.The street markets of Helsinki are another of its main attractions.The city of Stockholm stretches from the Maelaren Lake to the Baltic Sea, built on an archipelago of 14 islands connected by at least 40 bridges. Gamla Stan, the mediaeval city, is particularly charming, with picturesque narrow alleyways and pretty squares.

After the first leg of the journey, where you get to walk around in history, we take you to a more natural and surreal environment. Cruising through the fjords of Norway you feel at ease from your surroundings, and enjoy peace of mind from the tranquility of the calm waters reflecting the green and white spotted mountainside. In this country you will still stumble upon some of the last remaining mysteries of nature. While stopping at six different cities, your senses will go wild from the differing landscapes that each one provides. Three of the destinations are of small towns with very warm and cozy motifs, while the other three are some of the larger cities that capture the attention of visitors from the way they nestle comfortably in the natural scenery of Norway
Flam is a typical village huddled between a fjord and a sheer cliff down to the sea. As the sea winds its way up the fjords the rivers take on spectacular and unusual traits, allowing for splendid specimens of fish such as large salmon.
Hellesylt is the gateway to some spectacular Norwegian scenery nestling in the country of fjords. Surrounded by steep rocky mountains, dissected by cascading waterfalls and decorated with thriving fruit trees, the fjords are among the Earth's most inspiring landscapes. The air is pure, the water clear and nature unspoiled. The many waterfalls of the area are a great attraction, as is Horningdalsvannet, the deepest lake in the world, reaching a depth of 600 metres and according to local folklore inhabited by some very strange marine life. Each of the ports on our cruise offers breathtaking natural beauty and truly amazing photo opportunities. |
