About this route

Condor Ferries serves the Channel Islands and connects the UK with France via Jersey and Guernsey. Condor Islander offers a small number of pet-friendly cabins: en-suite rooms for people travelling with a pet, with practical flooring. On other vessels and routes, dogs travel in vehicles or approved carriers on the car deck.

Dog travel details

Pet feeVaries by route and vessel

Dog notesFor dogs, the limited pet cabin stock is the key constraint. Dogs outside cabins generally need to be leashed and muzzled, and Channel Islands import rules should be checked separately from UK and French rules.

BookingBook pet-friendly cabins early because only a small number are available per sailing on Condor Islander.

Pro tipUseful for relocation to or from Jersey and Guernsey. If your dog is large, anxious or not suited to car-deck waiting, prioritise cabin sailings rather than assuming every Condor route works the same way.

RestrictionsPet-friendly cabins are vessel-specific. Pets outside cabins must follow leash, muzzle or carrier rules. Availability is limited.
