“I could not have been 'looked after' better! Before coming I did wonder how I would feel being the only single among couples, but everything was great - such a well-organised cruise must attract a very sociable crowd! The itinerary was very well planned, the food was really appetising, the service left nothing to be desired. Thank you for all your efforts. I hope to see you all again next year!”
“It will be a long time before we have a holiday as good as this one, The crew were excellent and looked after us as if we were one of their own.
A truly wonderful holiday.”
“A warm welcome greeted us on boarding the Edward Elgar. Following an introductory tour by the crew a cream tea encouraged the passengers to mingle. After setting off boating it was_ sit back, relax and cruise to the views while the efficient crew looked after us for the next few days. As we cruised, skip gave a commentary on interesting features of the landscape in an informative and amusing way. The peaceful stretches of water were a haven for bird life and gave us the opportunity to “chill”. For the more energetic the included tours were comprehensive and interesting. The food was appetising and varied with no shortage of cake and fresh fruit, not to mention the free flowing drinks at lunch and dinner. A friendly crew worked as an excellent team to make our holiday truly worry free, a time to unwind and make new friends. We are delighted that we experienced life on the Edward Elgar.”
“Absolutely excellent!! Everything was 100% spot-on from arrival to departure.
Tho organisation was perfect, the food was magnificent, impeccably presented and served and the entire crew were marvelous and could not have done anymore for anyone than they did.”
“Had a great holiday on Edward Elgar - compared well with other holidays we have been on mainly with Saga. The crew were great and worked hard to make sure our holiday was one to remember. In fact we have booked up again for 2020.”
“Despite the problems the cruise suffered, we found that the crew and the cruise were excellent. The food was outstanding, the crew friendly and approachable, and no one would have guessed that we were on an alternative schedule. Thank you to everyone involved, both upfront and behind the scenes.The entertainment evenings were most enjoyable.”
“I had a really great time.. despite the hiccups !!!... food delicious, and just the right amount... clean comfy cabin.... crew kept smiling....I was allowed to drive (well steer really)....being on the top deck for the night cruise was magical... Thank you so much, every one of you, for one of the best holidays in years.”
“The whole crew involved in asking our trip exceptional. Great food excellent table service and cabin service from the girls. Barman ...landing crew...trainee captain awesome. They were everywhere and totally unobtrusive. We had a fantastic holiday weekend. Thoroughly recommend.”
“A lovely cruise on a very comfortable ship designed for the river. We liked the off boat excursions which highlighted the fantastic history of the area. Holdups for unforeseen reasons were quickly resolved with lots of things for us to do. I heard and saw my first cuckoo of the year.”
“WE took this cruise with some trepidation having had both river and ocean cruise experience over a number of years.
However overall excellent from Steve the skipper to Louis and all of the excellent and friendly crew.
Food was excellent ( one exception being the pork one evening (tough) and the beds were very comfortable Although cabins were small they were more than adequate.
Well done - we will be recommending you!”
“A very enjoyable cruise made ever better by the hard work and enthusiasm of an excellent crew. The success of any cruise is highly dependent upon two things: the crew and the weather: both performed brilliantly. They both made an enjoyable cruise even better.”
“Both my husband and I found you all very friendly and welcoming .We also enjoyed Steve’s humour.Thank you all for helping to make this break enjoyable.”
