English Holiday Cruises Ltd

Bad weather but still good fun and the food was excellent the crew went out of their way tohelp in any they could

Excellent, relaxing holiday. Fantastic staff, really good food and interesting, all inclusive excursions. Highly recommended.

We were looking for a River Boat Hotel to ascertain if there was such a type of boat. We saw an advert for English Holiday Cruises in a magazine and decided to get a brochure. We are really pleased that we booked as it was a holiday that was totally different to anything that we had experienced before. The information provided after the booking was very clear and precise. The holiday we selected was the Seven Wonders of the River Severn which was for 6 nights/ 7 days. The captain and his crew were really excellent at all times. All meals were included together with drinks at mealtimes. The cabins were great with en-suite showers, toilets and very comfortable beds. The whole experience was very relaxing and easy to enjoy. We would recommend this company to any other people considering a hotel boat cruise.

We've recently returned from the Heritage Cruise on the MV Edward Elgar which we really enjoyed - exceeding our expectations. The cruise was lovely and tranquil interspersed with some interesting places to visit, the boat was comfortable, the food was good and the wine plentiful. Captain Louis and his welcoming and professional crew looked after us very well and managed to maintain high standards in spite of an awful accident away from the boat that left us without our chef. Managing Director Jay stepped in and amazed us with his culinary skills. Thank you all. We would thoroughly recommend a trip on the MV Edward Elgar.

An excellent holiday cruise company staffed and managed by very caring and interesting people. I will be booking one of my next year's holidays with them very soon. One of the best cruises I have ever had the privilege to be on.

My wife and myself under took the longest cruise on offer the 6 night holiday and glad we did as all places of interest to us included. We opted for the package which included a nights accommodation at a very good holiday with breakfast the night before we sailed and free car parking in a safe multi story car ark. Well worth it. The price was very good for the facilities offered including free mini bus, or taxi from boat to attraction even if only a quarter of a mile away in case raining or someone had difficulty walking. On board bar prices very reasonable. A guide available at each attraction visited. Everyone on our trip (21 passengers in 11 cabins) very much enjoyed the experience. Crew were always helpful, attentive and very hard working. Food served on board was excellent and a different interesting meal each breakfast, lunch time and in the evening. Some weeks prior to sailing passengers could say which foods allergic to and which foods disliked so the boats chef could cater accordingly. Captain kept us informed of places we were passing / about to visit and the 2 nights evening entertainment on board was first class. Cabin well fitted out to make the most of the space for storage. A first class shower that really worked even when others using the water supply, temperature and water pressure remained constant. We enjoyed the holiday very much and just as good as the European cruises available but with much less hassle to get to the starting point. We would recommend the holiday without doubt. We went based on a neighbour's recommendation - they enjoyed the cruise twice in the two years prior to us going. JOHN JONES, STAFFORDSHIRE.

A weeks holiday on the Severn. Fantastic crew, wonderful food. Cabins small but adequate. A lovely way to meet people. Tours included, tour guides excellent.

One again, 4th year running, had a wonderful week on the Edward Elgar. Never get tired of this cruise/tour…will definitely be booking again next year. Staff exceptionally efficient and friendly. Comfortable clean cabins. Excellent food. Great fun playing quoits on the top deck(I won !). All excursions by mini bus from boat to and from venue. Can’t speak highly enough of the crew and the help and advice given by the office when booking or answering any queries. I can highly recommend English Holiday Cruises to anyone considering this cruise.
