Dog travel details
Pet feeUsually varies by route and cabin class; often €15-40 pet supplement
Dog notesDogs should be leashed and may need muzzles outside cabins. For Tunisia and Morocco sailings, confirm destination import rules carefully before booking because non-EU arrival rules differ from EU ferry paperwork.
BookingBook the dog-friendly cabin or kennel with the trip. Mediterranean summer crossings sell out quickly, especially overnight cabin space.
Pro tipExcellent for avoiding flights between Italy and Spain, Sardinia, Sicily or North Africa. The long overnight crossings are much more dog-friendly when you have a pet cabin rather than a kennel-only arrangement.
RestrictionsPets are not allowed in restaurants, lounges or indoor common areas. Some restricted dog categories may be prohibited or require permits. Dogs need to be controlled outside cabins.
