We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise with English Holiday Cruises. The crew were all amazing - so helpful and cheerful throughout, making us feel completely at home. The food was without exception well-cooked and most enjoyable. We do not know how the chef managed to produce so many interesting meals virtually single-handed. Excursions were well-organised and varied, proving very interesting. We found the cabin very small but well-designed to use the available space. The other areas of the boat were spacious and well-equipped for such a small vessel.

A very different sort of cruise having done ocean and river cruises. Excellent food considering limited galley space. Snug cabins to be expected on such a small boat.

What a delightful experience. The boat is beautifully laid out and so relaxing to be on. Captain Conrad and his crew were second to none with their attention, genuine care and friendly attitude. You could tell they loved their jobs and the food that our chef served up was impeccable to say the least. The tours were very interesting and well organized as was the onboard commentary while we watched the beautiful scenary pass by. The only downside is that our holiday had to end.

We would have given a five-star review rating except for the fact that the room's heating system broke down twice during our three-day March holiday, leaving us very cold on arrival and all night on a second occasion. We are in our eighties and do not wish to go on holidays which subject us to very cold cabin and sleeping conditions. We have to take care of our health! Everything else about the cruise was five-star plus. We enjoyed it but would not take the risk of recommending it to any of our elderly friends. Sorry.

The crew were absolutely fantastic. The food that the chef prepared was excellent and presented as if in a top hotel or restaurant. The crew went out of their way to help everyone. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was certainly not cold on-board ,we were there in October, in fact the temperature was very hot.
