Dog-friendly sailings
Some of these cabins welcome your furry friends along for the ride. Choose from a 2-bed or 4-bed (twin bunk) cabin.
We know that many of our customers travelling with dogs, prefer to have them close during sailings.

If travelling with your dog, you’ll have access to a seperate entrance from the vehicle deck and an exclusive-use outside space available to you, other dogs and their owners.
Now that’s how you look after man’s best friend!
