The Classic Severn Cruise Reviews

4.7 Rating 46 Reviews
This was a really enjoyable experience. A widow, I was the only person going solo but everyone was very friendly and great company. The boat was in splendid condition, the crew were terrifically informative and helpful, the meals were all delicious, the scenic views were beautiful and the outings were very nice. The inclusion of the coach trip to the Worcester/Gloucester Steam Railway via which we could go to Winchcombe or Broadway, was a bonus. I went in 2022 on the Cruise the the Views trip and one of the improvements I found this time was the facility of the excellent Boathouse where we could assemble, be fed, and park our cars securely. I shall certainly book again in due course on a slightly different cruise with you.

This was a very relaxing way to see the River Severn and the towns and villages along the way. The food was very good. The crew were exceptional, very kind and nothing was too much trouble.

We had a really fantastic time on board the boat. The crew were brilliant, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The cabin we had was clean and comfortable, and the lounge and dining area was really well furnished. We were extremely well fed, and the bar was well stocked. Maps and full information accompanied any trips. We recommend it highly and will no doubt do a repeat trip on the Edward Elgar. Well done everyone.

When we arrived at the Boathouse it was wel organised and very polite receptionist. Transfer to the cabin was smooth. Everything we needed except perhaps a fresh air spray for the bathroom. Instant hot water was a bonus with just the right temperature too. Food was excellent. Vicky and Phoebe delightful hostesses. Conrad is a very pleasant young man and becam a fully fledged captain - well done Conrad. George - what can we say - a likeable young man - nothing was too much trouble and he turned his hand to everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will recommend it to our friends.

Very relaxing cruise along the beautiful Severn in lovely weather. Food was excellent, with superb breakfasts, mainly hot lunches, and 4 course dinners. Cabin was small by ship standards but adequate for a river boat. Great crew, always friendly and helpful. Will be back.

This was our second trip on the MV Edward Elgar, the programmes differed so it was nice to go again. Food and Crew were very good. Richard Davey
