Emma - We’ve just returned from a three-day cruise on the Lucy Mary and are getting over the shock of having to cook for ourselves. The whole experience was, as advertised, magical. The whole crew showed us almost embarrassing levels of care without ever becoming over attentive and were never too busy to answer our questions. The trip was a celebration of our diamond wedding but we’re going to have to find another excuse to come back!

This was such a magical adventure. I can't praise the crew highly enough, with the attention to detail, caring approach, thoughtfulness and professionalism all making our trip so easy, relaxing, happy and fun. I travelled with my elderly mother who benefited from a helpful hand navigating some of the wobblier walking moments and was thrilled at the generous approach towards topping up her wine glass. The kindness and thought put into celebrating her birthday was hugely appreciated. Like me, she came away having enjoyed fabulous scenery, majestic views (we were so fortunate with the weather), amazing animal encounters, excellent food, cleanliness throughout and generous hospitality, but it was the sheer friendliness and kindness of the crew that made the holiday so perfect. I brought with me various food intolerances and not once did I feel that I was getting second-best, indeed quite the opposite with my own freshly-baked cake each day and a very understanding approach from the fabulous Izzy and Craig.
