About this activity

When your cruise visits Ashdod Port, take a full-day tour of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. With a guide, travel to Jerusalem and admire sweeping views of the Old City from the Mount of Olives. See the hallowed sites of the Garden of Gethsemane and Last Supper room, and enter the walled city to visit age-old places of pilgrimage including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre and more. Then, continue to the Dead Sea to float in its salt-rich waters before your return to Ashdod.
