Cat Notes

In pet-friendly cabins, cats can be out of the carrier. On other vessels, cats must be in RSPCA-approved carriers on the car deck or in the vehicle. Cats must be muzzled... (this applies to dogs — cats must be in carriers when outside cabins).

Booking

Book pet-friendly cabins early — only 6 available per sailing on Condor Islander.

Pro Tip

If you're relocating to or from Jersey or Guernsey with a cat, the pet-friendly cabin is excellent. For foot passengers, check in advance as some routes require vehicle travel with pets. The Channel Islands have their own pet import requirements — check local rules.

Restrictions

Pet-friendly cabins only on Condor Islander to Jersey. Pets must be muzzled and leashed (dogs) or in carriers (cats) when outside cabins. Limited to 6 pet cabins per sailing.
