MV Edward Elgar Events

With an option to Cruise

Our second vessel, MV Edward Elgar, is also available for smaller groups between October and January. On this vessel, you have the option of adding a cruise to your event. Edward Elgar is a very comfortable hotel boat and her central air-conditioning/ heating, leather chairs, deep-pile carpeting and ‘clubby’ atmosphere make her far superior to an ordinary trip boat. We cruise along the big Gloucester & Sharpness Canal with views over some historic canal-side buildings and beautiful countryside. Whether you are staging a private or corporate event, adding a cruise will make it even more memorable.

If you would like to add a cruise, the extra charges shown below will apply. Please note that the cruise will take place inside the timeframe allowed for your event and in any case must take place between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
