“Just back from a relaxing few days on board the Edward Elgar with excellent food, comfortable cabins, great service, and interesting and lively fellow passengers. The excursions were well planned and the entertainment, especially Diane and Tony, was of a very high standard. This was our first holiday since Covid and we felt safe and comfortable with the measures the company had put in place.”
“Cannot fault anything about this cruise! Happy, welcoming crew, always with a smile. Food superb - gluten free options no problem and delicious. Served efficiently with a friendly word. Smooth and swift docking procedures. The bar service worked well and a cosy area. Captain Steve was very approachable, has a great sense of humour; kept us well informed and welcomed us into the wheelhouse for a chat.”
“We don`t usually do reviews, but you were too good not to. Thanks for a great week, and all your help after public transport let us down. Next time we travel with you, can we have some Sunshine please!”
“What a wonderful experience this holiday was, made possible by the crew and the weather. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was carried out with a bright and cheerful demeanour. Everywhere was kept clean and tidy with due consideration given at all times to meet covid and safety restrictions. The food was excellent and the beds were comfortable.”
“A wonderful trip. Perhaps on Day 1 dinner could be a little later because of lunch at Cote. The food was excellent. The quality of the tea bags, coffee, etc. when helping ourselves was sub-standard by comparison.
The crew were friendly, helpful, always cheerful, efficient and did their jobs well.
Would it be possible to have a little less information from the guides, so that the towns we visited could be explored a little?
Thank you to all involved in putting this trip together.”
“What a magnificent treat to have sailed on board the Edward Elgar on the Severn Wonders Cruise. Not only were we blessed with stunning weather but a crew who were second to none! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was to much trouble, Covid-19 social distancing measures were in place and adhered to, the friendliness, fun and valuable information offered by the crew was outstanding, the meals were simply amazing and the all round comfort and passenger safety was superb. Such a truly wonderful experience which I just didn't want to end. Thank you all so much.. Graham.”
“A really great time. We both enjoyed ourselves very much. Steve and the whole crew worked together so well. They were incredibly welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
It felt a safe place to be and to live on, a great compliment!
The whole cruise met our expectations and, indeed, exceeded them.
We look, God willing, to the next one.”
“We had a lovely cruise - very well organised in every respect from booking to disembarkment. The crew were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble and they treated everyone as an individual, quickly learning our names and remembering our food and drink preferences etc. The excursions were interesting and varied with plenty of opportunity to go our own way when we chose to, including information and maps for solo trips ashore. The Admiral package was good value for money. We are already looking at another trip!”
“A wonderful holiday, we had some trepidation before we went, our booking had been done some while ago and since then my balance problems had got worse we didn't know how I would get on with the stairs and getting on and off the boat but every one of the crew were so attentive and helpful even the passengers it was a holiday to remember and will always recommend it, hopefully we can go on another one in the future.

“Staff excellent, food excellent, Covid precautionary measures excellent, size of cabin took a bit to get used to! Always hot water, clean towels every day if you were extravagant and altogether a very relaxing, well organised and pleasant holiday.”
“We had a great time and it was all down to all of the crew. You were all friendly, helpful, informative and the food was really good.
We will recommend you to our friends.
Thank you so much
Paul”
“We were delighted with the holiday and thought all the staff were exceptionally efficient, hardworking and charming. As I have bone cancer I was a little uncertain as to how I would manage but I was fine with everything THANK YOU”
“We had a fabulous week with the crew and fellow passengers. We managed to forget Covid during our trip on the River and felt safe on board and in our cabin. Can’t really fault our staycation,food, drink, excursions, all made us feel relaxed and happy.”
