Brittany Ferries Pets Information

It is possible for you to take your cat or dog onboard Brittany Ferries when journeying to either France or Spain. From just £30 return to France, or from £50 to Spain, this is a small price to pay for the much added enjoyment and peace of mind of being accompanied with your pet. On the way to France, your pet must stay in the comfort of your car, and on route to Spain there are kennels available on board.
