Edward Elgar approaching Sharpness

Cruising the River Severn on Edward Elgar

David Powell takes an English river cruise in the Severn Valley

Boarding the charming Edward Elgar, all vintage cream with maroon trim, feels like walking into an Agatha Christie novel. There are no Art Deco interiors or chandeliers, but it has a quirky English atmosphere and its multi-talented crew of five couldn’t be more friendly.

At just 88ft, with only 11 double cabins, the 3 deck Edward Elgar was purpose-built for English Holiday Cruises to sail the River Severn and Gloucester Sharpness Canal and has been certified a four-star hotel boat by Visit England. There's a cosy bar, a lounge that doubles as a dining room and an open deck for taking in the views as you glide serenely through green and pleasant Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, and it’s a lovely place to call home for a few days. Comfort is a priority on board with quality seating, mattresses and furnishings.

Tea and coffee is always available and there’s home-made cake each afternoon as well as unlimited house wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. Every day there’s a free excursion and at night the crew will entertain you with quizzes and singalongs – and there’s also free wifi. An advanced battery system means there is no need to run generators at night ensuring the boat is perfectly quiet at her mooring.

The cabins have twin beds and en-suite shower rooms, with reduced rates for single occupancy on every cruise, and although they’re small they’re beautifully kitted out. 

We joined at The Boathouse, the company’s canal-side HQ, near Gloucester’s superbly restored historic docks, where the Georgian warehouses are now home to bars and restaurants, with museums and cathedral a short walk away. English Holiday Cruises offer a secure parking facility at the boathouse and after a welcome lunch and drinks, we were off on our adventures, sailing to Frampton on Severn for a guided tour of Berkeley Castle in the Cotswolds, a 12th-century Norman keep with fabulous medieval kitchen and glorious gardens.

Back on the boat we enjoyed a delicious home-cooked dinner on the way to Purton along the world’s first shipping canal, mooring for the night within sight of the River Severn where it widens before flowing into the sea.

Up bright and early I took a pre-breakfast walk to see Purton Hulks Barge Graveyard on the river – a surreal collection of old boats and barges deliberately sunk to prevent the river’s banks breaking. It was fascinating to see how nature has colonised these old wooden and even concrete vessels. I was definitely ready for breakfast after my walk and tucked into a full English, although there were lighter offerings such as French toast with cinnamon.

The dining room has picture windows so we could watch the world go by even when eating, and during breakfast we sailed the canal towards Slimbridge Wetland Centre for an included tour to see the hundreds of swans, ducks, geese –even flamingos. There were taxis on hand to take us to and from the centre, although it was an easy walk from the boat. As well as wildfowl there was Scott House Museum where World Wildlife Fund founder Sir Peter Scott lived when he set up the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. The artist and TV broadcaster – a friend of fellow conservation pioneer Sir David Attenborough – was the son of Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott and many of his wildlife paintings are on display in the house and visitor centre. 

Back onboard we sailed for historic Gloucester Docks and a visit that most guests were eagerly looking forward to - the late afternoon Gloucester Brewery tour with gin tasting included!

Next day we sailed along the river to Upton-upon-Severn in Worcestershire, arriving after lunch to be taken by coach to Croome Court. Now looked after by the National Trust, the estate has a fascinating history. The parkland was Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown’s first major landscape gardening project and made his name. Started in 1750 it includes a lake with a Chinese bridge and a grotto once lined with semi-precious stones. Part of the 18th-century neo-Palladian house, also designed by Brown with superb interiors by architect Robert Adam, is now open after restoration, but our favourite part was the RAF Defford museum.

The quirky displays in old RAF buildings reveal how the place was used for radar testing during the Second World War and Cold War operations.

That night we were moored in Upton, so we had the chance to explore the town’s pretty streets of half-timbered and Georgian buildings. Most famous is the Pepper Pot – the remains of a church tower – which is central to several music festivals each year. After dinner we enjoyed sloping off to Ye Olde Anchor Inn, a ‘black and white’ half-timbered pub with leaded windows, low ceilings and beams.

Worcester the next day was a revelation. The cathedral is one of the finest in the country and once so important that Richard the Lionheart’s brother King John is buried here. My cruise was over far too soon and as I reflected on the friendly atmosphere, new friends made and the excellent food and service I thought maybe next time the full 6-night cruise!

English Holiday Cruises runs two, three, five and six-night trips in the Severn Vale, with its six-night Classic Severn Cruise available May to September.

All are round-trips from Gloucester with the longer itineraries a mix of stops along the River Severn and Gloucester Sharpness Canal, while the three and two-night cruises are confined to the canal and run only in April and October. And for those who want to extend their stay in this gorgeous region there are hotel packages available

The Pros And Cons Of Exploring The British Isles On A Cruise

• Cruises and Sailing
• Destinations
• Types of Travel
• United Kingdom

The British Isles aren’t the first place you think of when planning a cruise but, although there are a few reasons why this is the case, there are also lots of reasons why cruising around the British Isles is a great idea. The UK and its islands have some of the most diverse scenery and the most varied coastlines you’ll ever see, and what better way to experience it than from the sea and the waterways? If you’re new to the UK, this is a great way to get an overview of the landscape. If you already live here, it’s the perfect way to see your own country through an entirely new lens. As with anything, there’s good and bad to be said about this. Here’s my take on the pros and cons of cruising around the British Isles.

Pro: Experience The UK Coastline From A Whole New Perspective

With its stunning headlands, bays, peninsulas, and islands, the UK has a whole world of varied views and experiences to enjoy. You won’t find a better way to take in more of this stunning scenery than from the water, and even if you know the UK well, you’ll never see it quite like this. On a cruise, you’ll experience the UK and its islands from outside of it, rather than from being within it, and the perspective this gives you on a country is unique. The rugged cliffs, the sandy beaches, the harbors and ports, will all give you a view of island life you haven’t witnessed before. This makes cruising around the UK an entirely different kind of trip, and a new experience.

Con: British Weather Is Unpredictable

There’s no doubt that the British weather can be an issue. Everyone knows Brits go on about the weather a lot, but that’s because it alters so much. The changeable nature of it makes it difficult to know what to pack and you can end up taking something for every season. It’s certainly not simple and you might end up with bulging luggage. Fortunately, there are no luggage restrictions on a cruise so you can pack as much as you need to cover clothing for all eventualities. There are also lots of indoor activities to take part in on a cruise ship if the weather isn’t great while traveling between destinations; a spa treatment, taking part in a Zumba class, a wine tasting session, or hitting the casino. You’re likely to catch some rain on deck, but you can still have fun below.

Pro: Spotting Coastal Wildlife

The coastal seas of the UK attract some wonderful marine life. You can look out for Minke whales off the West Coast of Scotland and over the Irish Sea, and bottlenose dolphins near Land’s End in Cornwall. Or you can spot Harbor porpoise near the North Coast of Wales . Gray seals are also common around UK waters. On the Cornish Coast, you may even be lucky enough to see a basking shark. The UK also has a rich seabird population, affording you the opportunity to view birds you wouldn’t normally get the chance to see. Cruise ships put you right in the middle of the action and give you a much better chance of spotting something unusual. The balcony rooms on Princess Cruises give you the perfect place to keep watch from.

Pro: UK Cruises Are Often Specialist And Themed

You’ll find that cruise ships journeying the British Isles are offering something a little bit different. For example, Ambassador Cruises is running a special Jubilee Cruise in honor of the Queen’s Jubilee this year. This gives you the chance to experience something you’ll never again get the chance to experience, making it completely unique. Guests get to be part of a specially-designed itinerary in celebration of the Queen’s 70th year on the throne. Those onboard the ship, Ambience , will not only enjoy a range of destinations, but will also be joined by royal historians Dicky Arbiter and Penny Junor, who will be mingling and sharing stories about the Queen with first-hand accounts of what she is like.

Con: Specialist Cruises Are Often Not Repeated

With the Queen only celebrating her Platinum Jubilee once, this will be the only time to join this cruise. You have one opportunity only to enjoy the story of her reign and the country she is the queen of, in this unusual way. This particular cruise sets sail in May of this year. And it won’t happen again. This is great if you manage to book a place — you’ll experience something totally unique — but if you don’t, you’ve missed it forever. There’s something to be said for cruise ships that offer a uniform experience, you always know what you’re getting so you know what to expect and you won’t miss out. On the other hand, one-off trips that can’t be replicated have their own charm and give you something you won’t forget.

Pro: The Waterways Are Quiet

Cruising on the UK Coastline definitely beats being stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway. If you’re exploring the UK by road, you’ll soon find out how busy it gets, how frustrating it can be being stuck in jams, and how inconvenient it can be having to find motorway services. Even trains can be busy, delayed, and sometimes not running at all. On a cruise ship, you won’t have any of those concerns. From the moment you board, everything is right there at your disposal, and you don’t have to worry about where to eat, where the facilities can be found, and whether your transport is running on time. Your ship is your transport, your hotel, your restaurants, and your entertainment, all in one. And you can do it all in peace and calm. Especially in the UK, you’ll find cruising is quiet and less busy than any other form of transportation.  

Pro: UK Cruises Can Go Where Liners Can’t Go

Specialized and local cruises, like the ones run by Hebridean Adventures , take place on a small converted fishing boat. Cruising on a boat like the MV Monadhliath means you can visit remote and quiet sea lochs that are miles from any roads, and also where larger ships cannot enter. Because UK cruises aren’t traveling through large portions of the ocean, you get to see the tucked away bits of the coastline and you can cruise into waterways and lakes. I recommend taking along a copy of Amelia Dalton’s book, Mistress and Commander , her story of how she converted an Arctic fishing boat and ran cruises around the remote Scottish Islands. If you want an adventure, a Hebridean cruise is the perfect way to experience the seas and islands.

Con: You Won’t Get Sandy Beaches And Sunbathing

If you like cruising, but you usually take cruises around the Caribbean or the Mediterranean , this one will be a little different. If you love sunbathing on deck and dipping in the pool while the sun beats down above you, be prepared, you won’t get that on a UK cruise. Well, you might, as the weather is unpredictable, but by no means guaranteed. However, if you think you’ll miss out on sandy beaches altogether, you’d be wrong. Some itineraries visit Scotland’s most pristine and largely empty, sandy beaches complete with sand dunes and turquoise water. And the Channel Islands like Guernsey certainly offer stunning beaches and, quite often, sunny weather.

Pro: It’s A More Intimate Experience

Cruise ships traveling around the British Isles and river cruise boats in particular, are smaller than regular cruise ships, so cruising feels more intimate. English Holiday Cruises take passengers along some of Britain’s most beautiful waterways where life runs at a slower pace. While they do have the largest boat hotel in the UK, The Edward Elgar, even this one is small and cozy. It has just 11 cabins, so you can really get to know the other guests onboard if you want to. It’s a bit like a floating boutique hotel, with a generous dining room and a compact little bar. If you like the idea of cruising, but also like your getaways to be quiet, this could be the perfect choice.

Con: It’s Not Foreign Travel

It really depends what you’re looking for from your cruise and from your trip, but it has to be said that cruising the British Isles isn’t exactly exotic. As mentioned before, the sun and cocktails on the beach might be in short supply and if you want a “foreign” holiday, this might not be what you’re looking for. However, cruising the British Isles will introduce you to places in the UK and its islands that you wouldn’t normally see. If you’re traveling to the UK from another country for a vacation and taking the cruise while you’re here, you’ll get to see a lot more of the country than you would by staying in one place.

Six of the best British Isles cruises

From cruises on ultra-luxury yachts to traditional ships, our picks of the best round-britain itineraries..

Editor’s note: After over a year of waiting, cruise lines are finally resuming operations with a mini-season of ex-UK itineraries around the British Isles being unveiled. You can see a list of 2021 coastal sailings and British Isles cruises here .

One of the great benefits of an ex–UK cruises – that is, a cruise that departs from a British port – is the ease in which you’re able to board. With no airport queues, no long waits in departure lounges or luggage restrictions, it’s just a case of getting to the port, unpacking and enjoying the holiday. Although some of these cruises head on epic voyages across the world, we’ve focused our attention on cruises that call at British ports, often with a stop or two in the Republic of Ireland.

Nigel Blanks, managing director of Saga Cruises, has recently suggested that, before restrictions on international cruises lift, the line will consider running itineraries around Britain “with and without ports of call” in 2020, “taking in sights such as the Jurassic coast-line, the puffins on Staffa and Giant’s Causeway to name but a few.”

With details of these types of cruises yet to be ironed out, we’ve picked six British Isles cruises for 2021 and 2022 – while Hurtigruten’s upcoming mini-cruises are also worth a mention .

This 14-night Springtime in the British Isles cruise  heads from Greenwich to Edinburgh on board the luxury expedition yacht  Crystal Endeavor , which carries just 200 guests and will be more often found exploring polar regions. Departing May 25, 2022, highlights include navigating the Isles of Scilly, the isolated St Kilda archipelago and exploring the beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Shetlands – plus an overnight in Edinburgh. This being Crystal, it’s not cheap: prices start from £10,619pp for 14 nights in a deluxe suite with veranda with all meals and drinks, most excursions, port taxes and gratuities.

Another luxurious option,  this time on Silversea’s 294-guest  Silver Spirit . The ship departs from and returns to Tower Bridge, docking next to  HMS Belfast , making for an unforgettable beginning and end to the journey. As well as two overnights in London, the cruise takes in the pretty harbour town of St Peter Port, Guernsey; Fort William, flanked by the UK’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis, on one side and Loch Linnae on the other; as well as the Isle of Lunga, the largest island in the Treshnish archipelago, which lies west of the Isle of Mull. The cruise lasts 14 days and fares start from £6,930pp for a twin share room.

Targeting the traditional over 50s British cruise customer, Cruise & Maritime Voyages has made a name for itself by utilising ports across the country. While the overwhelming majority of ex-UK cruises depart from Southampton, CMV regularly sails from Liverpool, Hull, Newcastle, Bristol, as well as its homeport in Tilbury. Its newest ship, Amy Johnson will sail from the Essex port on July 12, 2021 on a round-trip Grand British Isles Discovery calling at the likes of Lerwick in the Shetland Isles and Kirkwall in the Orkney Isles. The 10-night itinerary also includes a brief sojourn to France, with a stop at Honfleur. Prices start at £1,019pp for a superior twin inner room.

Occupying the same space in the market as Cruise & Maritime Voyages,   Fred Olsen Cruise Lines also makes fine use of Britain’s overlooked ports. Departing on July 29, 2021, this cruise on the 804-guest  Black Watch  heads from (and returns to) Liverpool , sailing out the city’s historic port. The cruise takes in Tarbert and Fort William, Scotland, where there is also a cruise of Loch Linnhe – as well as Stornoway, where there is scenic cruise by Bac Mòr, one of the Treshnish Isles, sometimes known as the Dutchman’s Cap. The cruise lasts five nights and fares start from £799pp for an inside cabin.

Hurtigruten tends to stay away from the word ‘cruise’; it’s true it offers something a little different to other options on this list. The operator started out delivering mail and transporting people across the west coast of Norway in the 1890s, but has since branched out to expedition voyages. On May 2, 2021, the 335-guest Spitsbergen  will depart from Greenock (Glasgow) , and take in the islands of Arran, Islay, Mull, St Kilda and more over 10 nights. The price is from £2,384pp for an inside cabin and includes drinks with lunch and dinner, selected excursions and wi-fi.

Regent Seven Seas has a British Isles cruise with a good focus on cities, as well as a trip to the Republic of Ireland. The 12-night roundtrip voyage on the incredibly luxurious Seven Seas Splendor departs from Southampton on May 20 2021 . The cruise calls at Edinburgh (New Haven), Kirkwall, Portree, Glasgow (Greenock), Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, Holyhead, Waterford and Portland before returning to Southampton. Fare are from £8,859pp for a double suite with veranda and include all shore excursions, unlimited wi-fi throughout the ship, unlimited beverages, including fine wines and spirits, transfers between airport and ship, if needed, and free pre-paid gratuities.
