“Lovely relaxing break with an interesting itinerary. Great team. Enjoyed every minute and will certainly recommend your company.
Thank you for a great time.”
“This was a most enjoyable cruise. The crew couldn't do enough to help you, and were so friendly and kind. The meals were delicious and well-presented, and the standard of cleanliness was high. The tours were interesting and fun, as were the fellow passengers. Highly recommend!”
“Great few days onboard. Crew were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious (how much weight can you gain in four days?!!). Some really interesting excursions. Loved it!”
“Excellent cruise. The crew were lovely, helpful, friendly and always professional. The cabins were well designed, clean and comfortable. The food was amazing, we thoroughly the whole trip and certainly recommend it.”
“Just back from our third trip on the Edward Elgar. The experience was good the first time but just gets better and better. We hope to book voyage number 4 for next year. The food was great and the cabins small but perfectly formed. Helpful, friendly crew who did everything possible to make guests happy and comfortable. Try it for yourself.”
“I have just returned from the ship canal explorer cruise with the bonus of splendid weather. Plenty of content here with first evening at Gloucester Docks and a guided walk the next morning. A chance to see how important this inland port was in the past.
Leaving for Berkeley Castle in the afternoon by taxi,from the canal then Purton graveyard and Slimbridge the next day
The view across the estuary was stunning from the higher canal.
We were well cared for by the willing team, especially Sam the cook who makes great cakes
The cabins are well planned with adequate room for possessions- a large suitcase fits under one bunk and plenty of hangers.
My second trip on the Edward Elgar and I can recommend the experience.
What's not to like about comfortably watching the world go by from the top deck.?
Hawthorn in abundance this year in April.
Good library on board and some games if weather is not so kind and a snug bar.”
Thank you so much for your glowing review, Joyce! We’re thrilled that you had such a splendid experience on the Ship Canal Explorer Cruise and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Watching the world go by from the top deck truly is a special treat! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure on the Edward Elgar.
“A thoroughly enjoyable trip. The arrangements were excellent from the arrival details, the guides for the various excursions, and the locations themselves. The general atmosphere on the boat was very good and the staff helpful at all times. The meals were tasty and variations possible if required. We benefitted from the glorious weather which certainly helped as we were able to spend time on the upper deck each day watching the world go by. We would thoroughly recommend the trip. Be prepared for a small cabin but it works well and you will want to spend your time elsewhere on the boat to see what is happening around you.”
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Joanna! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable trip on The Ship Canal Explorer Cruise. We’re especially pleased that you could soak up the glorious weather on the upper deck! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another memorable adventure.
