Who Else Wants To Find Pet Friendly Cruises

Cruises are an increasingly popular form of vacation – and who can blame us – relaxing on a luxury liner and enjoying the ocean views and exotic ports is a great way to unwind.  Unfortunately for some, the lure of the high seas is dampened by the thought of having to leave our pets in the care of a relative stranger.

Many cruise lines are broadening their market by offering pet-friendly cruises, where you can take your animal along for the trip.  They are still in a minority, but it is nice to know that they are an option.

Check The Rules

Most of the commercial cruise lines are really not pet friendly cruises due to a number of reasons however, there is this one cruise line that accepts pet as one of their passengers and that is the Cunard’s QE2.  Here is actually what the representative of the pet friendly cruise line said about the concern: “The QE2 will continue to accept pets in the kennel onboard for any transatlantic crossing it may have with the exception of the first or last leg of the world cruise."

If you want to know more about Cunard, check their web site at www.cunard.com – you can learn more about the QE2 boat at www.qe2.org.uk.  You can also book your cruise on these web sites, although it is always worth picking up the phone first to see if there are any special offers that are not on the web sites.

Chartered Cruises

If the QE2 does not appeal to you, then you could consider taking a charter cruise – these tend to be relatively expensive, but offer you a lot more flexibility – since you are effectively in charge of the boat, you can dictate where and when you go.

Companies such as www.paradisechartercruises.com offer chartered cruises that are pet friendly.  The ships are quite luxurious, and they offer a lot of cruise options to allow you to build the ideal holiday.
