Unpack once, and take your hotel with you on a cruise through the countryside to a new destination every day.
Our customers want a holiday in Britain and France with a difference. They want to avoid the stress of long journeys, airports, flights, lost luggage and unusual food.
All cruises in England start and finish near Gloucester's Historic Docks. Cruises in France depart from nearby the Eiffel Tower.
We operate on the River Severn between Gloucester and Stourport and the Gloucester to Sharpness Ship Canal between Gloucester and Sharpness. Cruises in France are on the River Seine, River Yonne and Marne Canal.
In England, our hotel boat Edward Elgar is rated 4-stars by Visit England, and is the highest capacity hotel boat on the inland waterways of the U.K.
The Deborah Hotel Barge is a luxury barge accommodating our passengers in France.
At English Holiday Cruises, we believe we are only as good as the people in our team.
Through careful selection and training, our staff and crew know how to look after our guests - and each other. We have been operating since 2005 and know what makes a great member of the crew or staff behind the scenes to keep everything working like clockwork. You'll know when you come on board because although we are all working very hard - we make it look easy by staying calm, friendly, kind and fun!
