English Holiday Cruises Ltd

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.

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.

The MV Edward Elgar is a very comfortable hotel boat. The crew are excellent. The food is a great credit to the chef. Every one worked hard to ensure we all had a good holiday despite the vagaries of tide and storm surge.

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.

Some great cruising to be done right here in English waters. Good brochure to muse through not cheap but you pay all inclusive. I hope to save and do it whilst I can.

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.

The staff were amazing. Really hardworking. Lovely experience. So relaxing.

Everything about the experience was fantastic!
Rooms were small (understandably!) but were more than comfortable and very well equipped. The saloon, bar and decks were impeccably kept. Bar very well stocked and reasonably priced.
Food was amazing! Fresh produce was cooked daily by the very talented Miles. Drinks were included at meal times and topped up regularly!
And the staff.... They worked so hard and did a terrific job from booking to disembarking.
I really cannot recommend this company enough - I look forward to my next excursion with them 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
