Travel with DFDS Seaways

DFDS welcomes pets on board of all of their ships. On some routes pets will have to stay in your vehicle, on other there is the option to book an on deck kennel or even a pet-friendly cabin! Registered guide and hearing dogs travel free of charge.

Booking your pet on one of the DFDS routes is easy. You can just add on your pet(s) while you make your online booking. Foot passengers travelling with pets need to contact the Customer Contact Centre to make a reservation.

During the crossing, you can visit your pet in your car or kennel accompanied by a crew member of DFDS Seaways. You can ask at the on board reception. The kennels on board have different dimensions, the correct size of kennel needs to be selected during the booking process.
