“Enjoyable cruise with good company. It was not the cruise fault that the weather was particularly hot.
But we did suffer a bit in the cabins. I would like to thank the crew who were particularly good, very helpful and pleasant. I would give the chef a medal for the meals he produced in that hot weather and small kitchen.
Maybe a stop at one of the pubs right on the river might have been good.”

“An excellent river cruise with first class service from friendly and professional staff. Enjoyed the food, drinks, stops long the way and visit to Sudeley Castle and that we were moored over night.”
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable cruise and that our team helped make your holiday so memorable. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
“My wife and I were not familiar with this specific area, so it was very different for us.
Cruising along at a sedate pace was fine, and offered ample opportunities for watching the wildlife and the passing scenery.
The cabins are small but adequate, although we didn't particularly like having to use bottled water for tooth cleaning.
The meals were excellent and the crew were really good too.
We got on well with all the other passengers and this too hleped to make our cruise so enjoyable.
We had picked this particular cruise because it didn't have guided tours, as we prefer to go at our own pace due to me having some mobility issues, and this proved to be the right choice for us.
The only day tour was to Sudeley Castle and Gardens, and this was also unguided, so once again we could go at our own pace.
The weather was kind to us with only one morning of rain, and we were travelling down river then, so the only casualty was not being able to go up onto the top deck.
Our visits to Worcester, Stourport on Severn, Upton on Severn and Gloucester Docks all proved to be excellent for us, with plenty to see and do at each location.
Would we recommend this cruise to others? The answer to that is a definite yes”
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear the relaxed pace of the cruise suited you so well and that you were able to enjoy each destination in a way that worked best for you. We’re so pleased you both had such an enjoyable holiday and we hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
“As an 82yrs old diabetic travelling solo I was a little apprehensive but now a week later all I can say is a very BIG thank you! The boat, the crew, the food the whole concept was perfect. I did not know the area and the scenery just blew me away as it was so beautiful and peaceful. Sail....moor ....and explore. What more could you wish for? Please give my thanks to Dan, Tim, Fleur and Liberty for looking after me so well and making me feel that nothing was too much trouble.”
Thank you for your heartfelt review. We’re so pleased to hear you felt comfortable, well looked after, and able to relax throughout your holiday. We’ll be sure to pass your kind thanks on to the crew, who will be delighted to know they helped make your experience so special. We hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
“This was an most enjoyable and relaxing trip despite the problem with the engine. The food was fantastic and the chef deserves praise for preparing the food in such a small space. We liked the daily structure of sailing in the morning and making visits in the afternoon and we were particularly impressed with the construction at Stourport on Seven of transfers from river to canal and vice versa. Congratulations on the standards achieved particularly in providing so many facilities in very small cabins.”
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate your understanding regarding the unexpected engine issue and are delighted it didn’t detract from your overall enjoyment of the cruise. Your kind words about our chef mean a great deal, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another relaxing holiday in the future.
Thank you for your rating and for choosing to cruise with us. We’re delighted you enjoyed your experience and hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
“We had a totally wonderful experience. The cabins were 'cosy' but very clean. At night the curtains kept them dark and there was no noise from the other guests' cabins. The food was superb (our thanks to Jack the chef) and the wine flowed generously. Every morning we enjoyed the beautiful scenery as the boat moved between locations and every afternoon was filled with either a visit to a town or an excursion (Sudely Castle in our case). The staff were lovely and the fellow guests were good company. A delight from start to finish.”
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so pleased to hear you had such an enjoyable experience on board and that the scenery, excursions, dining, and atmosphere all helped make your trip so memorable. We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Jack and the rest of the crew, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
“A 'Classic Cruise' with a different view of nature.
Gently meandering along the River Severn, kingfishers were regularly seen along with many other water fowl.
Our crew were absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and help was always on hand if anything was needed.
Our chef produced three excellent meals each day, from a Full English Breakfast, lunch and a three-course dinner followed by cheese and biscuits. It was amazing what he was able to prepare and cook in such a confined area.
The itinerary worked very well and ensured nothing was missed. After breakfast, we would sail at about 0900, cruise to our next stop until lunchtime, have lunch and then spend plenty oftime ashore. Evenings were most enjoyable on board. After dinner there was a fun quiz, followed by time for a game of cards or scrabble. Night were very peaceful. No noise from engines or generators, ensuring a good nights sleep.
It was very much a different type of holiday which exceeded our expectations. Would we go again ? DEFINITELY !! Next year on one of the other 6 night cruises.
THANK YOU ENGLISH HOLIDAY CRUISES. It was brilliant !!”
Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear the cruise exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed both the peaceful time on the river and the warm atmosphere on board. Your kind comments about our crew, chef, and itinerary are truly appreciated, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back for another adventure next year.
