“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

“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.”
“When we booked we didn't quite know what to expect but we are pleased to say we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The crew was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Steve's humour and enthusiasm was infectious and that transferred to the rest of the crew. The food was excellent (cheers Miles), our only regret being we forgot to uplift the week's menu before disembarking! Whatsmore we met some very pleasant and interesting people which of course added to the enjoyment. Finally the excursions were generally very good and guides where used were knowledgeable. The only slight criticism is the cabins could do with an”

“It was our first river cruse and this one has set the bar very high indeed. The crew were very professional and friendly, nothing was too much effort for them, a very happy cruiser. The food on board was excellent and there were always options if the menus for the day might not of been quite to your taste. All of the necessary Covid-19 precautions were in place and it made us feel very comfortable.”
“Interesting, involving and relaxing wrapped up in one small cruiser wending its way along riverand canal. The crew, led by Capt. Steve were a delight, nothing was too much trouble, and Miles work in the galley was without parallel, traditional meals, locally resourced and most of all delicious. On our final night the music provided by Diane and Tony was a real treat. So thanks to all, including Louis, Katie and Anette, and not forgetting HQ that provided first rate communication. The Covid provisions were, in our view, well considered given the current stage of the pandemic.”
“Edward Elgar was delightful, the food was fantastic, and the organisation both on arrival at the Mercure then from there to the dock could not have been better. Interesting towns to visit with informative guides.
Thanks to you all.”
“Fantastic crew who catered for all our requirements. We were regular sea cruisers but wanted something different. We could not complain you catered for all our whims.”
“Wonderful trip, delicious food and a very hardworking crew. A very well planned itinerary and Steve was very knowledgable which added to the whole experience. But on future arrival instructions you should say whether you turn right before or after the Orchard pub - we had set that on our Sat nav when leaving the Bowden Hall hotel but ended up completely lost almost within sight of the Edward Elgar.”
“Couldn't fault Captain Chas and his great crew. And thanks so much for looking after Liz on the last day when her idiot husband got lost on the way back from the car park.
A huge thank you from Liz and Dave Cage x”
