Passover 2025 is less than 3 weeks away—starting Saturday night, April 12. By now, many people have already locked in their Pesach program plans, grabbed those early bird deals, and are sitting back, feeling pretty organized.
But let’s be real—booking a Passover vacation months in advance just isn’t possible for everyone. And that’s totally okay.
Some people are still waiting on work vacation approvals. Some had other plans fall through. And some are just last-minute planners by nature—always hoping for a great deal or ready to stay home if it doesn’t work out. Whatever your style, if you’re still looking for Passover programs in 2025, we’ve got tips and ideas to help make it happen.
Why People Book Passover Late
If you’re feeling behind, you’re definitely not alone. Here are a few totally normal reasons why people wait:
- Waiting for work or school schedules to be finalized.
- A sudden change in family plans or group decisions.
- Hoping for discounts closer to Pesach.
- Life got busy, and planning a big vacation fell through the cracks.
Whatever the reason, you’ve still got options. And yes—some programs still have space, with a few offering last-minute discounts. We’ve included a roundup of those further down in the post.
Why Some Programs Still Have Space
Just because a Passover program has availability doesn’t mean it wasn’t in demand. Here’s why you might still see openings this close to the holiday:
- Last-minute cancellations: Life happens. Sometimes guests need to cancel late in the game, freeing up spots unexpectedly.
- Program expansion: Some programs get so many inquiries that they open up a second hotel or more rooms to meet demand.
- Additional inventory: A few operators hold back some availability to release later—or only release certain room types closer to the date.
So, don’t assume "available" means "unpopular"—sometimes it's just good timing!

Tips for Booking a Last-Minute Passover Program
Here’s how to find a great Pesach program when you’re short on time:
1. Know Your Travel Limits
Are you willing to fly or do you want to stick to driving distance? Your travel preferences will narrow down your list quickly.

- Focus on regional programs within your country or nearby. Whether you're in the U.S., Europe, or Israel, there are still Passover programs that are road-trip friendly.

- Try new destinations or smaller programs that still have space
- Consider arriving a day early and staying a day later
- Be open to different crowd types or hotel levels
3. Make a Move Quickly
When you find a program that looks promising—don’t wait!

- Kids’ programming: If you're traveling with family, confirm what's still being offered
