Edward Elgar cruising under Holt Bridge on the River Severn

Groups, Tour Operators and Special Events

Groups are always looking for new and unusual group holidays and unique group outings in the UK. English Holiday Cruises arrange a large number of river cruise holidays and special events on the Edward Elgar Riverboat Hotel for Groups and Tour Operators. Social Groups, Special Interest Groups, Retirement Associations, Clubs, Associations, Coach Companies and Tour Operators will all find something which appeals to their members and customers, whether it is one of our River Cruise Holidays, a Christmas Lunch Cruise, or a Special Lunch Outing. All of our boat holidays and river tours run on the river Severn navigation out of Gloucester.

‘What a superb holiday. Excellent care and attention throughout - from first contact with E.H.C. to the cruise itself. Complete professionals! Thank you all’ - Mr & Mrs Peers, Horsham

Groups

We have looked after a wide range of Groups, including Probus groups, Tangent groups, U3A groups, Retirement Associations, Clubs and Associations. They all like the shared experience of something new, the camaraderie during our outside tours and the friendly socialising at mealtimes. Groups also enjoy the caring support from our crew and the way we organise everything. Nothing is left to chance.

We are happy to accommodate small groups on one of our regular retail sailings. Alternatively we can reserve an exclusive cruise for groups of 22 people, when a group discount is offered.

‘Our Group is always looking for new and different trips and our cruise holiday on the Edward Elgar was truly unique’

‘I would just like to say how much we enjoyed our weekend on the Edward Elgar. Everyone – without exception – said it was the best weekend we have ever had (and we have had 24 together!)…(Gerry Thompson, Nottingham Tangent Group)

Coach Companies and Tour Operators

English Holiday Cruises have been dealing with coach companies and tour operators for many years and have developed a good reputation for reliability, quality and passenger satisfaction. We price our cruise charters keenly to allow tour operators to cover their costs, risks and margins sensibly. The important thing is that coach companies and tour operators can be confident of filling up their holiday tours with us time and time again because our river cruise holidays look so different in their brochures, they offer excellent value for money and previous passengers recommend us highly. Our boating holidays on the river Severn navigation are some of the best all-inclusive holidays in the UK.

Coach and Tour Operators reserving an exclusive charter on the Edward Elgar Riverboat Hotel at least one year ahead receive the very best rates available. For details of the sailings and dates available, go to River Cruise Holidays for Tour Operators and call the company to discuss contract prices.

‘My Group on Edward Elgar had a perfect holiday and everything was in excess of expectations’ – Mr F, Probus

Christmas Lunch Cruises and Special Lunch Outings

The Edward Elgar also stages Christmas Lunch Cruises and Special Lunch outings for individuals and groups. These all provide an excellent lunch with a cruise of at least 2 hours, sometimes longer.
