Can I travel with my pet on an Irish Ferries crossing?
Irish Ferries permits passengers to travel with pets (including guide dogs and assistance dogs) on all routes. There are two ways that pets can travel: in a pre-booked kennel or in your vehicle. The availability of these options depends on the route and whether you will be travelling with a vehicle. Kennels are not available on the Britain/France route, this means that foot passengers cannot travel with pets on this route.
