“Absolutely brilliant and really enjoyable cruise aboard the Edward Elgar. Great crew who worked really hard to look after us, 20 marks out of 10. We enjoyed probably the best guided tour we have had in over 40 years of travelling when we were taken round Gloucester Docks. Purton 'Hulks' was a complete surprise, who knew there were such things as concrete barges? Slimbridge was peaceful, the birds and other animals, particularly the otters, entertaining. Our introduction to the Cotswold Canal Trust Heritage Centre could not have been more passionate. Overall, a wonderful 4 days. We shall certainly be booking another trip.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise with English Holiday Cruises. The crew were all amazing - so helpful and cheerful throughout, making us feel completely at home. The food was without exception well-cooked and most enjoyable. We do not know how the chef managed to produce so many interesting meals virtually single-handed. Excursions were well-organised and varied, proving very interesting. We found the cabin very small but well-designed to use the available space. The other areas of the boat were spacious and well-equipped for such a small vessel.”

“What a delightful experience. The boat is beautifully laid out and so relaxing to be on. Captain Conrad and his crew were second to none with their attention, genuine care and friendly attitude. You could tell they loved their jobs and the food that our chef served up was impeccable to say the least. The tours were very interesting and well organized as was the onboard commentary while we watched the beautiful scenary pass by. The only downside is that our holiday had to end.”
