Em(bark) on a pet adventure

We're delighted to welcome your pets on board.

And to make their travel as stress free as yours we're excited to announce some changes onboard our ships.

We now have a dedicated Pet Den onboard Oscar Wilde and Isle of Inishmore on our Dover Calais route and Isle of Innisfree on our Rosslare Pembroke route.

We also have 5 Pet friendly cabins onboard James Joyce on our Dublin Holyhead route. 

Sit back and relax with your favourite travel companion by your side or take in the views and sea air in a dedicated outdoor deck space. 

Irish Ferries - Sea Travel Differently. 

Pet Den Rules

Make sure an adult in your party is responsible for your pets throughout the entire crossing. Don't leave them alone.

Keep your pet on a lead or in a carrier, including when enjoying the outside deck area.

Keep your pet within the designated Pet Den area. Pets are not allowed in other parts of the ship.

If your pet is a restricted breed or presents a risk of biting, it must wear a muzzle at all times.

Ask for permission before approaching other pets and their owners - some may prefer to keep their own space.

Manage your pet to keep any barking or noise to a minimum.

Owners must clean up after their pets.
