Travelling with Pets

Pets are welcome on board and travel free of charge. Facilities vary from ship to ship. For further information please call the Customer Care Department on 01475 650338, email customercare@calmac.co.uk or speak with any member of staff or crew.

Special Arrangements

Where special arrangements would be helpful to owners i.e. storing a pet in an RSPCA approved pet carrier or similar apparatus, provided by the owner, a location may be identified on the ship by prior arrangement with the port of departure. Owners should contact the port of departure at least seven days in advance of travel.

Designated Pet Areas

On most of our ships pets are allowed access to all outside passenger areas. Many of our larger ships have internal pet areas with seating provided for owners. When inside, passengers travelling with pets should remain in these areas. On some ships pets are not permitted inside.

It is CalMac’s aim to make journeys as safe and comfortable as possible for all our passengers. Please take due care and show consideration for everyone on board.

Support Dogs

Support dogs are allowed access to all passenger areas.
