Passengers travelling with pets

Due to the high demand for pet cabins and pet kennels, we have created a temporary overflow area onboard Stena Adventurer (Dublin – Fishguard), Stena Estrid (Dublin – Birkenhead (Liverpool)), Stena Edda and Embla (Belfast – Birkenhead (Liverpool)) for pets travelling in pet carrier cases. Owners must remain with their pets, in the dedicated area onboard for the duration of the crossing. Pets in carriers must be pre-booked on these vessels, this can be done online at  stenaline.ie and stenaline.co.uk.
To accommodate as many pets as possible in our Pet Lounge onboard our Belfast – Cairnryan route, we will temporarily restrict the number of people accompanying their pets into the lounge. All pets must be pre-booked and travel in pet carrier cases.
