“We enjoyed the cruise very much and met some interesting fellow cruisers. The necessary changes to the itinerary were very well handled at no real inconvenience to the passengers. Evening entertainment could have been a bit more varied. The pianist would have been more enjoyable after dinner as music was drowned by chat during dinner. Excursions were very good and interesting.”
“Despite the weather that made the river levels rise and the added facture of Gloucester docks being dreged plus Gloucester lock swing bridge as shut for repairs, Jay and his team worked together to produce an itinerary that involved all sorts of things that were interesting and in some cases exciting! The food of course excellent as usual crew on board smiley and helpful no job too small or large to be done I have to use a small mobility scooter that had to be lifted on and off Edward,done in a jiffy with smiley faces then hoisted the scooter back on. Both girls and lads worked like brogans and captain Dan kept them altogether. Lovely time!”
“The staff were lovely and it was never too much trouble for them to help if there were any questions or problems.
A nice mix of guests, just big enough, one couldn't ask for more.
A real shame that the river conditions did not allow the larger original cruise that had been envisaged.”
“The way we were treated,the food etc were very good and plentiful and the river and visits were great.. The cabins were small (this was expected ) but well though out with enough space to put things and move around.
The visits were interesting and well organised and just what we hoped. The morrings were in interesting places with plenty of space for an evening or morning strole.
It did get very hot at times and the A-con strugled a bit but personally I had no problems sleeping and it was 31/32 outside which is a bit over the top. In any case there was iced water, or other cool drinks,tea and coffee freely available,
Help with our luggage on and off the boat was a lovely touch. All the staff were very happy to help with anything, had time to talk and were always smiley and seemed happy to be there.
Thank you all for a great time. I have now got to buy 'Rebecca' as I didn't finish it on board.too much to see and a lot too much talk while on the top dack.”

“A very enjoyable week's cruise. Excellent food, brilliant chef who managed to cook three excellent meals a day in a small kitchen, helpful friendly crew. Interesting, well plannned visits. A small ship with only 19 passengers so all very friendly. It was an excedingly hot week, so the small cabins were rather too hot but this is probably not often a problem! Sitting on the top deck , gently sailing through lovely countryside was a great pleasure ( or watching it from the saloon when the sun was just too hot to stay outside!)”
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Joan!

It sounds like you made the most of those lovely countryside views, even with the heat! We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure soon!
“We were very happy with almost all aspects of the cruise - the itinerary, trips, food and staff all met our expectations and we were not disappointed. The only downside was the lack of sleep for three consecutive nights when our cabin was devoid of any air conditioning whatsever - this resulted a a cabin temperture approaching that of a sauna. This situation was brought to the attention of numerous crew members but sadly no-one felt obliged to even visit the cabin. On one occasion we were told "you're lucky not to be in the crew quarters - it is even hotter!" Speaking with other guests it was clear that this problem was not experienced by most others.”
Thank you for your review, Bryan! We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cruise, including the itinerary, trips, food, and the fantastic crew. We truly apologize for the discomfort you experienced in your cabin regarding the temperature and the lack of air conditioning. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly look into this matter to help improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you on board again for another memorable cruise!
