Prepare for Adventure

To make the most of this unique experience, there are a few things to keep in mind. With limited kennel availability, it’s important to book well in advance to secure a spot for your pet on this extraordinary voyage. Additionally, Cunard has a few restrictions on larger dog breeds due to kennel space, and all pets must be in good health and meet vaccination requirements.
