“We were a party of four and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The crew were exceptional, food superb and excursions very interesting. My husband lives with alzheimer, the crew were exceedingly helpful and patient, and we are most appreciative. Many thanks”
“A wonderful holiday, fantastic crew who were always friendly, happy and helpful. Well chosen trips and it was a joy to relax and enjoy the ever changing scenery as the Edward Elgar sailed serenely along.”
“First time on a river cruise and really enjoyed the experience. Good food, well organised trips out and activities on board. Crew polite and attentive. Look forward to receiving a brochure for trips in 2023.”
“The crew was amazing...and so friendly. We knew the cabins would be small, but they worked for us. The arrangements to park the car at Gloucester Quay worked great, and I truly enjoyed the sights, the food, and the camaraderie with all our new British friends. Some of the tour guides were just adequate, but we had the option of disengaging from the group if things were not great. And the efficient way that tour adjusted to the broken lock was brilliant. We are so glad we did this.”
“4 very able cheerful young people for whom nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The crews efforts and willingness to help at all times put a gloss on what was already a delightful cruise experience.”
“Accomodation fine, comfy & practical. Boat well captained, well-maintained & sturdy, good living areas, lovely top deck. Activities excellent (especially quoits), outings too. Meals all delicious, lots of food but sensible portion sizes. Crew excellent went above the call of duty & helped us mix.”
“We were very happy with the cruise and, despite various problems outside of English Holiday Cruises control, all adjustments were made with the minimum of disruption. The crew were all very friendly and worked extremely hard to ensure we were well looked after and catered for.”
“The great friendly crew could not have been more helpful. Good food is excellently prepared and served. The scenery is beautiful and interesting making for a relaxing cruise on the River Severn.”
“Well done to you all, we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! Good food, company, itinerary and weather. However, we were somewhat disappointed with the hotel, lack of a lift controlled by residents, food not very good and long wait for food once ordered. Well done for dealing with problems on last day so well including how you kept us updated with the situation as it became clearer.

“We had a very enjoyable trip on the Edward Elgar. The crew of four were terrific being busy, friendly and very helpful. The food was good and the room although very compact had everything we needed. The visits we did every day were interesting with excellent Blue Guides on some of them.”
“We had an excellent 6 days cruise along the navigable part of the Severn and the Sharpness canal. The company were great and the excellent, multi-tasking, crew were ably led by Captain Louis. The itinerary was gentle, as billed, and we had a range of interesting activities, and plenty to see along the way.”
