By car
Cats and dogs may travel in your vehicle free of charge, in one of our free kennels or one of our heated onboard dog lodges for £30 each way. Kennels and dog lodges are subject to availability and must be pre-booked. If no kennels or dog lodges are available, you must leave your pet in your vehicle. You must advise us that you intend to bring a pet in advance of travel when you book. You can pre-book a kennel or dog lodge on the "Meals & Onboard Extras" step of the booking process.There is a maximum of 5 pets per booking.
Passengers who choose to pre-book a dog lodge will be given an entry code at the Guest Services Desk onboard. Dog lodges are situated on the Promenade Deck. Not only will the dog lodge allow access to your pet throughout the crossing but you can also exercise them under controlled conditions. Pets, other than guide, hearing or assistance dogs, are not permitted onboard in the passengers areas.
Please note: Certain breeds of dogs are more sensitive to heat/poor air circulation in vehicles. Due to the length of this crossing, we would advise owners to take extra precautions and use the kennel facilities where available. It is also important to ensure that you are familiar with the EU and PETS rules before travelling. Click here for full details.
