“We thoroughly enjoyed our 6-night river cruise. The itinerary was well thought out - we cruised in the mornings, watching the peaceful countryside and went ashore in the afternoon for a non-mandatory tour. The crew of 4 were hard working, friendly and very helpful. The regularly timed set menu suited us and the chef was amenable to any dietary modifications.”
“What a wonderful time - the crew were fantastic - always pleasant and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb. I cannot speak highly enough of all time spent on the Edward Elgar. The trips were very enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended!”
“A delightful 4-night break on EHC's Heritage cruise from Gloucester to Worcester, also stopping overnight at Upton-upon-Severn and Tewkesbury. Don't go expecting the space and facilities of a European river boat. The cabins are cosy but well laid out; the atmosphere relaxed; and the food fresh and well presented, rather than gastronomic. But we enjoyed good guided tours at each stop the crew of four was outstanding - charming, efficient and clearly a closely-knit team. Loved gliding quietly along this pretty river and watching the wildlife. And slept like a log in our silent cabin, nestled up against a river bank. Came home feeling well looked after and completely relaxed. Happy cruiser!”
“Everything about the cruise was great, food, accommodation, trips and the staff was excellent they made our holiday with their enthusiasm and commitment to our comfort. Great holiday.”
“The cruise was everything I hoped it would be - a delightful route with interesting visits, all enjoyed in sociable company. The accommodation was comfortable with good facilities and the food was excellent.”
“Outstanding customer service from the moment we were met at the quayside. All the literature to the cruise was accurate and informative. The food onboard was five star and nothing was too much trouble if changes to the menu needed to be made. The excursions were first rate and full of interest. The crew were very friendly, fun and professional. The cabins are cosy but has everything you need for a good nights sleep. We will recommend the company to our friends and hope to sail again with them in the future.”
“Crew were excellent, catering was outstanding and the programme well put together and interesting, this was overall an excellent cruise and one worthy of recommendation.”
“A most enjoyable cruise - the crew and staff were always friendly and helpful, cheerful and attentive to any need. The meals were excellent, and congratulations and thanks to the chef. The outings from the boat were well planned and timed, full of interest, and with very good guides. While the cabins are compact, the facilities on board are very comfortable. And the weather was very kind to us, so that we could be on deck when sailing along the lush and beautiful river.”
“We had a wonderful trip, with the alternative crew, who were great. We were made very welcome and at home. The cabins were small but well planned with plenty of storage and comfortable beds. The wet rooms had very good showers. The food was well presented and tasty, and drinks served very generously. The entertainment was fun, and trips well planned. Even with reduced mobility, moving around the boat was not a problem, and the staff were very kind in moving luggage etc for us. Our fellow sailors were friendly and interesting, and by the end of the trip they felt like family.
Altogether, a great experience, and recommend highly.”

“I have given this 5 stars despite a considerable problem. BUT apart from this it was excellent. The crew were down one person but coped amazingly given the sweltering conditions. Katy and Ethan deserve special mention for being unfailingly cheerful and very hard working. Captain Louis was fantastic despite a lock being blocked and a passenger needing an ambulance, he was coolness itself. The big let down was the food but I will address that in a separate email. I also apologise for one of my quoits hitting a fellow passenger during one of the frenetic quoits matches on deck, great fun. Thank you all.”
“My wife and I had an amazing cruise of the River Severn. The weather helped as well. The crew looked after us very well and would definitely recommend this to family and friends.”
