With Passover 2026 behind us and summer well underway, now is the time many travelers begin thinking about next year. It may feel early, but we're already seeing interest in Passover 2027, and we're starting to receive the first updates from tour operators, even though most programs have not yet been announced.
Many operators return to the same hotel year after year, and loyal guests often reserve their places soon after Pesach. Others spend the summer finalizing their plans before announcing their 2027 programs over the coming months.
While it's still too early to book most Passover programs, it's the perfect time to start planning. Research destinations, compare the different types of programs available, and decide what kind of Passover vacation is right for you. If your preferred destination or program has already been announced, booking early can give you the best choice of rooms and availability. On Totally Jewish Travel, you'll find Passover program listings, destination guides, planning articles and travel tips, with new 2027 programs added as they are announced.

The Unique Nature of Passover Programs
Planning a Passover vacation is very different from planning a regular kosher trip.
Throughout the year, you can often travel independently. Many destinations have kosher restaurants, Chabad houses provide Shabbat meals and local information, and it's usually possible to put together your own itinerary.
Passover is another story. Many kosher restaurants close for the holiday, kosher for Pesach food is much harder to find, and preparing every meal yourself can quickly become stressful. That's why so many travelers choose an organized Passover program.
A Passover program takes care of everything, from kosher for Pesach meals and Seders to minyanim, children's activities and entertainment. Hotels are reserved well in advance, and many operators return to the same resort year after year.
Because availability is limited, popular programs, room categories and destinations can fill up quickly, particularly with returning guests. You don't need to book as soon as Passover ends, but understanding how the booking cycle works can help you secure the vacation that's right for you.
What You Can Do Right Now
Now is a great time to get ahead of the crowds, even if most Passover 2027 programs haven't been announced yet.
- Decide which destinations interest you most.
- Explore our destination guides and planning articles to narrow down your options.
- Read Google reviews of the hotels you're considering to get a better feel for the property and guest experience.
- Talk to friends and family about the programs they enjoyed this year.
- Decide what matters most to you, whether that's a beachfront resort, family activities, luxury accommodation or a touring itinerary.
- Keep an eye out for new program announcements, as many operators begin releasing details during the summer and fall.
If you already know where you'd like to go and your preferred program has opened bookings, you may want to reserve early. The most popular hotels and room categories can sell out well before Passover.

Passover 2027 Opens Up More Destination Options
Passover 2027 Opens Up More Destination Options
Passover 2027 begins on Wednesday evening, April 21, making it one of the later Passovers in recent years. The later dates bring warmer weather across much of Europe and the Mediterranean, opening up more choices for travelers.
Beach destinations such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy become even more attractive in late April, while sightseeing in cities across Europe is generally more comfortable. Families looking for warm weather also have a wider choice of destinations than they would during an early April Passover.
As you start planning, think about the type of vacation you're looking for. A later Passover may make destinations that wouldn't normally be on your list much more appealing.
