Travelling with a pet on board Pont-Aven

If you are travelling with a pet aboard Pont-Aven, your pet accommodation options will depend on whether you are travelling to France or Spain.

Pets may stay in either a pet-friendly cabin or in your vehicle when sailing to France. When sailing to Spain, pets must stay in a pet-friendly cabin, or dogs can stay in a kennel. Cats must stay in a pet-friendly cabin on all sailings to Spain.

We make every effort to ensure the comfort and safety of pets on board our ships. 

Here we'll explain what you need to know about booking with us and what it's like to travel on board Pont-Aven as a passenger with a pet. 

Your dog must be muzzled at all times, whilst in the port and on board, whenever outside of your vehicle or your pet's accommodation. This includes whilst in the pet exercise area.

Pre-check that your pet is ready for travel!

When you've booked with us, check that your pet's documentation is compliant by using our simple, free and secure pet travel pre-check. Available from 96 hours before your departure, simply log in with your Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网 account details and you can get instant confirmation whether your pet's travel documentation is valid to travel.

  • You will need to have an EU Animal Health Certificate or a Pet Passport issued by a current EU country for your pet to travel

  • We recommend that your dog has been exercised and toileted before boarding the ship

  • Your dog's chip will be scanned and your pet's documentation will be checked

  • We will place a sticker on your car windscreen to ensure you're parked appropriately on board. Please do not remove this sticker until having exited your port of arrival

Pets on board our ships

Pets are not allowed in any cabins except pet-friendly cabins. If your pet is staying in a kennel or in your vehicle, they must remain in the kennel area or vehicle for the duration of your sailing.

  • Pets are allowed in pet-friendly cabins or kennels, and designated exercise areas, but not in any other public area of the ship (except registered assistance dogs)

  • Pets in pet-friendly cabins will use the exercise area on deck 6, and pets in kennels will use the exercise area on deck 9

  • Once you have parked on board, a member of our crew will greet you and explain the procedure for taking your pet to your cabin or the kennels, using lift E

  • You will then take your muzzled pet and your luggage to your cabin or the kennels before the ship leaves port

  • 1 hour before arrival, an announcement will be made asking pet owners to return to their pet-friendly cabins or kennels. A crew member will then escort them to their cars, using lift E, where pets will remain until arrival. Pet owners are not allowed to stay in the car

  • After arrival, an announcement will invite passengers to return to their vehicle

For operational reasons, these procedures are subject to change. Please follow the instructions given to you by our crew. For further information, you can visit the information desk.

In bad weather conditions, pets must remain in their pet-friendly cabin. Access to the pet exercise area will not be permitted.
