We really enjoyed the cruise holiday. Friendly team, delicious meals and the boat was very clean. Lovely excursions as described in brochure and plenty of time to relax and join in lots of fun games on board.

This is surely tte ultimate in relaxation: your comfort is assured from the moment you board the Edward Elgar with friendly and attentive crew taking care of everything. Max 22 passengers mean you're quickly amongst friends.The gentle pace unfolds as the boat takes it course; there's a running commentary from the captain that's somehow informative and entertaining. The itinerary is varied, fascinating and carefully accessible to all. The cuisine is of a very high standard. My husband & I recommend this cruise without reservation

An ideal short break for an elderly couple with friendly and interesting fellow-passengers. The lovely crew looked after us very well as we cruised gently past the beautiful scenery, tucking into delicious food with wine to accompany it. The cabins are necessarily small but very well equipped. We enjoyed the excursions, including to Berkeley Castle and Slimbridge, to which we were transported by comfortable coach. Staff at head office were very helpful with our odd requirements and special thanks must go to Captain Jay for steering us safely and providing excellent information.
