“Very enjoyable cruise, in good company. Daytime cruising only with scenic views of the River Severn and canal.
Food was good, well served and plentiful. Crew friendly and very helpful.
Cabins are small and cramped. Excursions ok.”
“We had a very good cruise on the Severn. All the crew were very helpful and attentive at all times.
The food was excellent with differing needs re diet being no trouble at all.
The cruise had to be rearranged due to river conditions and this was professionally dealt with.
All in all a really good holiday.”
“A truly wonderful week on Edward Elgar.A brilliant crew with every body so obliging and helpful and being so cheerful.Excellent meals every time served in comfortable surroundings aboard ship.Also such a fascinating waterways system in beautiful countryside.A week to remember!!”
“Brilliant cruise - we've done loads of river cruises but this was the first in the UK and it was just great. The weather wasn't good to start with but Jay (the MD) and crew reorganised everything and it all went well. The food was excellent, and the crew were really helpful and friendly. Highlights: Wildlife on the canal and river, the onboard entertainment, and I steered the ship (for a little while)!”
“The whole trip was varied and interesting. The crew worked hard and helped to make the break memorable. I'd have no hesitation recommending this trip to anyone interested”
“We had a great time aboard the 'Edward Elgar', the crew looked after us very well and the food was very special. The weather and river level caused the itinerary to be changed so that we had to do things in a different order, but we still did most things as described. Problems with the boat were overcome by the crew and company owner. Everyone on the cruise were very friendly which made the cruise very enjoyable. We would recommend it for a relaxing and enjoyable time.”
“We cannot speak too highly about this cruise, and have tried hard to think of maybe just one way in which it could be improved. However, this was not possible. Crew amazing, food amazing, organisation amazing and therefore an all round excellent holiday experience.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the "Edward Elgar", in no small part due to the friendly and helpful staff/crew. No effort was spared to cater for our dietary requirements and the food was excellent. Excursions were superb, the only criticism being that we could perhaps have done with a little more time at one or two venues. When heavy rainfall led to an exceptional rise in the river level preventing the passage through locks, alternative arrangements were made which were much appreciated.”
