“The Severn Vale cruise advert looked quirky and interesting, how could we not go on it.
It was the best decision we made this year, an absolutely great week spent with 17 other passengers & 5 crew. Fun, laughter & fabulous food all the way, plus seeing the English countryside from close up. Who was the first to spot a Kingfisher, Heron or Cormorant each day ?
The boat & crew will long remain in our memories. Thank you English Holiday Cruises.”
“Organisation very good in spite of all the difficulties with lock closures, etc. All the places we were taken to see were of interest. The bus company was very good and helpful, especially to old people! The food was excellent and the crew were always smiling and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with you.”
“We realised that at this time of year the weather was the biggest risk as we could not use the top deck. We had good weather but could not sit on the top deck until the seats had dried out. What a shame not having some system to counteract that. The middle deck did not have enough soft chairs as insufficient room. Until that problem is solved we cannot recommend friends to do the cruise. Please advise when problem resolved.”
“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.”
