“All of the crew were brilliant.
Always ready to help if needed and worked hard to ensure the cruise went off without a hitch.
Louis not only steered the boat skillfully ensuring a safe passage but also waited at the table and helped out where required.
Katie was always at hand, with a smile and happy disposition to serve at the table and the bar. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
Ethan ran the quoits competition cheerfully and with humour. He also helped to make sure everything ran smoothly at meal times with Katie and docking procedures with Louis.
Stewart produced very appetising meals, from a small galley and also provided me with a nice selection of low-sugar desserts.
All in all a great team that all helped one another to make our cruise a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Many thanks to you all!!”
“I was blown away by the fantastic holiday I have just spent aboard. Fabulous scenery but made all the special by a fabulous team of hard working, thoughtful and professional crew on board! From meals to entertainment and excursions everything was GREAT.”
“We had a very leisurely holiday on the Edward Elgar, the food was 1st class and the crew were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them. We found the company to be very efficient with very good information.”
“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.”
