"Best boat cruise ever! Excellence in all areas - experience the Orwell Lady and the excellent crew and their knowledge, I was lucky enough to get a Christmas gift for this trip and it was perfect. Luckily the weather was perfect and the Thames Barges were racing. Highly recommend, book early as you can imagine... it's very popular"
