“It was the most perfect short break we have ever had. The whole ship's crew were fantastic and worked together as a perfect team who really enjoyed whatever task they were given. The food was pure perfection with just enough of each course so you had room for the next How Sam managed to cook all the different dishes from scratch three times a day and always at such a high standard was amazing, he always had a smile on his face even when trying to help all the crew remove an abandoned shopping trolley from our mooring. I could carry on about all the crew but will finish by saying I look forward to our next cruise in the next year.”
“On the whole the week was excellent especially the food and the friendliness of the crew. It would have been nice to have had the cabin/bathroom cleaned once or twice during the week but I appreciate the limitations of covid at this time. The excursions were well thought out and interesting. The hotel beforehand was disappointing with poor service and food and it would have been nice to have been nearer the boat.”
“Our first trip on The Edgar Elgar, everything we had hoped it would be and more. We look forward to meeting you all again in the future. We will certainly recommend the holidays to our friends. Thank you for your excellent attention at all times.”
“The cruise exceeded our expectations. Everything had been thought of and provided, down to the smallest detail. The crew were excellent, a very good and co-operative team, and nothing was too much trouble - particularly helpful carrying Tom's walker, accompanying us and providing reassurance. we thoroughly enjoyed your company, and had an interesting chat with Jay about the background to the company and MV Edward Elgar. It was a memorable experience.”
“You worked together as a team, ensuring we had a top-class experience. This high standard started at the very beginning of the cruise all the way through without fail to the last minute waving farewell Thank you.

“A fantastic cruise though the beautiful English countryside, visiting lots of interesting places. The crew were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. The food was great. (I’m vegan and was given lots of delicious options.) It was all very relaxing. And very Covid-safe, thanks to all the precautions. Highly recommended.”
“We had the most pleasant experience. The crew couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Food excellent, trips well organised. We look forward to cruising with you again.”
“Did gloucester to sharpness and return with trips to Berkeley Castle and Slimbridge Easter 2022. Crew very friendly and helpful. Food was varied and excellent quality. Entertainment on last night was great. Thank you for making this a memorable few days.”
“Extremely well organised, interesting and relaxing cruise, well appointed cabins, friendly and helpful crewe and delicious food - everything you could possibly want from a river cruise in the lovely English countryside.”
“Absolutely fabulous experience! Can't wait to do it all again- the staff and crew are so friendly, helpful and professional- they couldn't have done more. The food is 5 star, the boat itself is roomy and sumptuous and the trips arranged are well thought through with a lovely relaxed pace, We only had two days but it was so restful I felt I had had a week away! My dear Mum (87) loved every minute and is looking forward to our next trip- longer next time!”
“V impressed; personally feel cabin storage should be more open spaces and less drawers. Gut feeling is could be improved but it's not my area of expertise. We were not in cabin much anyway. Staff excellent.”
“A very enjoyable couple of days! Very well looked after but without too much fussing. Very good balance between on-board and off-board activities. The musical entertainment on our second night was "second to none" - what a talented and flexible singer. Louis and Jay were very knowledgeable over the journey, and Sam's cooking was tasty and versatile. Of course, we must not forget the cheerful and energetic Katie and Sasha!! Thank you all........ Hope to see you all again soon.”
“The cruise exceeded our expectations mainly because of the friendliness and helpfulness of the whole crew. We are definitely planning to do other itinerary in the near future.”
“Lovely Cruise, staff were superb, very helpful and accomodating our request for table for 2, as this was our first time away since before Covid, food was excellent, how the chef managed to produce the wonderful meals in such a tiny kitchen was amazing.”
“What a fun filled delicious weekend cruise we had. The boat was excellent and every need taken care of. The staff were more than attentive and provided a welcome atmosphere.”
