BMT Tours – Luxury Cruises & River Cruises

IBMT Tours is proud to feature a dedicated Luxury Cruises & River Cruises Division, offering travellers an exceptional way to explore the world's most beautiful destinations in comfort, style, and elegance.

Our approach goes beyond simply booking a cruise. We specialize in creating carefully designed travel experiences that combine boutique river cruises and small-ship luxury sailings with professionally guided land excursions, hand-selected luxury hotels, and seamless travel arrangements. By bringing together the best of cruising and land-based travel, we allow our guests to experience each destination in greater depth while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a well-organized journey.

Whether sailing along the legendary rivers of Europe, discovering historic cities and charming villages, exploring breathtaking coastlines, or visiting culturally rich destinations, our cruise packages are designed to make every moment memorable. Guests can enjoy the unique atmosphere of smaller ships, personalized service, exceptional dining, and the opportunity to visit destinations that larger cruise vessels often cannot reach.

Unlike traditional cruise operators, IBMT Tours does not own or operate its own ships. Instead, we work with carefully selected boutique river cruise companies and luxury small-ship operators, allowing us to offer a variety of sailing experiences tailored to different interests, travel styles, and budgets. Our expertise lies in designing the complete travel experience around each sailing, including pre- and post-cruise hotel accommodations, private transfers, airport arrangements, sightseeing tours, professional local guides, and customized itineraries.

From the moment our travellers begin planning their journey until they return home, IBMT Tours takes care of the details, providing personalized attention, dependable service, and the peace of mind that comes with travelling with an experienced tour operator.

At IBMT Tours, we believe that a cruise should be more than a voyage – it should be a complete travel experience. Our goal is to combine the beauty and relaxation of luxury cruising with meaningful cultural discoveries, exceptional hospitality, and unforgettable moments along the way.

The IBMT Bar Mitzvah tour was fantastic! It was the perfect blend of family time and peer group time, of sites with religious/historic significance and just plain fun. The guide was personable and informative, and even the bus driver was great. All the details were attended to and you didn’t have to concern yourself with or worry about a thing. It was a true vacation. We would highly recommend it to anyone. If you are going to Eilat, Petra is a must!

We went on a church group to the Holyland with IBMT Tours and had a great trip, everything was planned for us perfectly. There was over 123 people in four different bus groups and things went smoothly, I thought it was going to be hectic with that many people in the group but IBMT did a wonderful job and made sure the buses did not go convoy, every bus had its own time table and itinerary for the day, our guide Dani was so knowledgeable and loving. We love you IBMT and we will recommend you guys. Thanks for everything you have done for us.

We just returned from Israel on an IBMT Bar Mitzvah Tour for our three grandsons. We had enough family members to warrant our own bus. After checking out many tour companies we went with IBMT and all of us were glad we did. The hotels were fabulous and the rooms allotted even more so. From the INBAL in Jerusalem, KFAR BLUM in the Galilee, the SHERATON in Tel Aviv, to the ROYAL BEACH in Eilat we couldn’t have asked for more. Our meals were equally excellent. Beginning with a welcome reception at the INBAL to the closing dinner at the CANAAN restaurant in Tel Aviv one and all loved them.

It was a busy tour made even more so by my husband who was determined the grandchildren see “everything”. Fortunately for us, we had the best guide when Ornan (from IBMT) gave us GADI. All of the groups loved their guides but Gadi was special. He was able to reach the kids (ages 7-13) as well as the adults. His knowledge, willingness to adjust the schedule, and good nature gave him a soft spot in all of our hearts. He filled in at Yad Vashem when the guide droned on a bit too much for some of us. He searched out a cemetery where a father, grandfather and great grandfather was buried and proceeded to enlighten us on the rituals and customs of a military cemetery. He adjusted our times to include those little extras. When weather precluded the camels, we visited Qumran. After the Bar Mitzvahs, some wanted to walk down Masada - again, no problem.

We loved everything. Friday night dinner with an Israeli family (coincidentally the husband was from Toronto), meeting the soldiers on the kibbutz, the Druze lunch, sampling different foods at the shuk, the bullet factory and on and on. Although the weather was precarious in December, it didn’t stop us and we were able to celebrate Chanukah in Israel...menorahs everywhere, sufganiyot of every kind, celebrations in the street galore.

Would we recommend this tour...without a moments hesitation. We had a family trip of a lifetime. Thank you also to our bus driver Louie, whom we all loved and who got us around safely.

“Gadi” - what else can we say ... g double o - d, j-o-b. Good job, good job. V-e-r-y-n-i-c-e, very nice, very nice.💕

I cannot imagine a better, more organized, more perfect experience! IBMT went above and beyond all expectations!

Loved the trip! The itinerary was fantastic and really kept us moving. We were able to see and do so much. Best of all was our tour guide Natalie. She was very kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of Israel.
