Pets

On Hull routes, in order to comply with Defra regulations (www.defra.gov.uk), P&O can't allow animals to be left in vehicles therefore kennels must be booked.

On the Liverpool-Dublin route, pets are no longer permitted to travel in vehicles and as P&O cannot offer kennels, unfortunately pets can no longer travel on this route (except for guide dogs).

You can save money on your crossings with our ferry and Eurotunnel discounts.
