“Super staff, helpful and efficient with great sense of fun. Peaceful cruising and time to enjoy the passing countryside. Good food. Good variety of interesting tours. Convivial group of fellow travellers, good size of group. We look forward to travelling with you again.”
“Overall really enjoyed the cruise - good company of fellow passengers and the crew were all friendly, efficient and helpful. There were a couple of hiccups with our coaches on the first and last outings which you will be aware of but otherwise the trips out were interesting, very good guided tours. Several of us commented it would have been good to have all the crew with us for our final dinner (though we understand the need to give staff decent breaks)”
Thank you for your 5 star rating of The Severn Vale Discovery Cruise, we are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise! We appreciate your feedback especially regarding the crew. We agree that it would've been lovely to have all the crew with you for your final dinner, however it is important to give them a deserved break.
We hope to see you again!
“A most enjoyable holiday. Cheerful and friendly staff, excellent catering, and the compact cabins are well-equipped. The many and varied excursions were interesting and well-planned but could be a little tiring for elderly passengers. Disappointed that we couldn't moor at Tewkesbury which resulted in a repeat visit to Upton and a coach journey to Tewkesbury, but still plenty of time to visit the Abbey.”
We are thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable trip with us and that our staff, catering and cabins were satisfactory. While we understand your disappointment that we could not moor at Tewkesbury, we hope that the repeat visit to Upton did not detract too much from your experience. Thank you for your feedback!
“Very well organised and welcoming trip. Was very impressed by the crew who put themselves out to look after us all. I enjoyed the visits and company of fellow guests. Loved it.”
Thankyou for the great review, Angela! We're glad that you enjoyed all the different aspects of the cruise and we would love to welcome you aboard again.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. A great boat with space to relax and enjoy spectacular canal and river views; cabins inevitably small but very well fitted with enough storage space and comfortable beds. A good itinerary with mix of cruising and stops; Worcester was our favourite. Admin prior to the cruise was excellent; staff were efficient, friendly and responsive. The onboard crew - Captain Matt, Conrad, Katie, Tayla and Chef Vinnie (yum yum food) - were a great team and always helpful. We hope to be back onboard again.”
“Very relaxing trip. The crew were all excellent, friendly and professional. Food was good, and if anything you didn't eat or like, the chef would provide an alternative. Plain British recipes, but enough. Cabins are small, much akin to a ferry cabin. Clean and warm.Activities low key, quoits, quizzes etc.Average age on our trip mid 70s.”
“We had a wonderful time. The crew were so attentive to all the passengers, helping them when necessary. The food was fantastic care was taken with dietary needs. The trips out were well planned and the guides, especially the lady at Berkley Castle, were excellent. The cabins were made up daily and the boat was clean and tidy throughout.
This was our third trip on The Edward Elgar and we weren't disappointed. We are looking forward to a fourth trip at some time. Thank you all for such a splendid holiday.”
