“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.”
“As per our feedback form. All personnel were A1. Helpful, empathetic, and welcoming (not patronising which tends to happen to older folk!) and despite obviously being rushed off your feet - didn't let it show. Only at the end because of the tight schedule felt a little pushed off the boat.....
Cabins were a little basic but everything reassuringly clean to a high standard and comfortable. Food very acceptable except for cold eggs. Outings well organised. Highly enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Thank you . Mark & I appreciated all that was done to make it so good.”
“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.”
“Overall, a good cruise, relaxing, and with very pleasant company. The Crew were excellent, friendly and professional.
Our only gripe was the food which was cold on occasions and the main lunch course was more like a starter sometimes. We enjoyed most of the food, we just feel it needs a little tweaking maybe.
The visits were interesting, but Slimbridge left me rather disappointed.”
“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.”
“Thank you! Our cruise on the Edward Elgar exceeded all our expectations. The comfort of our cabins - small but with everything we needed with very comfortable beds - the most excellent meals, the choice of visit to Slimbridge, the delightful duo who entertained us on Saturday evening, and the welcome by and talents of a wonderfully competent-at-all-things crew were perfect. Every arrangement you had made in these difficult times, and the most impressive standard of cleanliness of everything was very reassuring.”
“Interesting trip . Staff attentive , well organised outings and good entertainment. Welfare of passengers first rate . Food varied and enjoyable
Make more of name of ship . Play some Elgar music occasionally .”
“We had hoped for an enjoyable break and the trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt safe but not over burdened by restrictions, very well looked after, very well fed and appreciated that any request we made was met willingly. Well done everyone.”
