Yes, Your Dog Can Cruise Too — Welcome to Cunard’s Pet-Friendly Luxury
Cruising with your dog may sound like a fantasy, but Cunard makes it a reality aboard the Queen Mary 2, the only major cruise ship that offers dedicated accommodations and services for pets.
Whether you’re crossing the Atlantic or planning a slow-travel escape, Cunard lets your dog travel in comfort, care, and style — no emotional support loopholes needed.
🐾 What Makes Cunard the Best Cruise Line for Dogs?
While other cruise lines have strict no-pet policies, Cunard has custom-built kennel suites and a full pet program aboard Queen Mary 2, their flagship ocean liner. Here’s what makes it special:
12 Luxury Kennels (plus overflow crates if needed)
Pet Playroom with indoor space for exercise
Designated outdoor walking area with fire hydrant (yes, really!)
Full-time Kennel Master to care for your pet daily
Daily visiting hours for cuddles and treats
Complimentary welcome gifts: a dog bed, toys, and treats
Cunard even provides custom pet menus, waste cleanup, and coat brushing — all included in your pet’s stay.
🚢 Destinations & Routes Where You Can Bring Your Dog
Cunard allows pets only on specific Transatlantic Crossings between New York and Southampton aboard the Queen Mary 2.
✅ 7-night Transatlantic sailings
✅ Westbound and Eastbound options
✅ Often available April–December
🔥 Pro Tip: These kennel spots fill up fast — often 12–18 months in advance. If you're thinking about sailing with your dog, contact me now to grab a space before they’re gone.
🛏️ Where Your Dog Stays (And What You Can Expect)
Your dog will have its climate-controlled kennel and receive daily supervised care, feeding, and grooming. Unlike flying in cargo, Cunard’s approach puts safety and comfort first.
You’re allowed two visiting sessions a day
Staff walks, feeds, and entertains your pet
You can bring their favorite blanket, food, and toys
Cunard treats pets like passengers, and their onboard Kennel Master makes sure your best friend is never alone.
Yes, They Even Get a Sail-Away Party
Cunard guests often gather at the kennel deck for a special pet farewell party, where dogs are dressed in little tuxedos, guests take photos, and treats are served. It’s part British charm, part Instagram gold.
