Pet Special Cruise

Cruise Across The Ocean With Your Favorite Pet

Luxurious Accommodations At Sea Return to the Pet Travel Page
	Not only can one enjoy spectacular planetarium shows, virtual reality golf, and world class spa treatments while at sea, but now, thanks to its recently expanded "Pets On Deck" program, guests of Cunard Cruise Line can bring their favorite cat or dog along during their vacation.		Recognizing the increasing popularity of traveling with pets, Cruise Cat is helping people to book travel with their beloved cats and dogs. We can arrange your travel plans to better accommodate both you and your four pawed friend. Pet spaces are limited so plan your trip early!

No longer is there any need to leave your fabulous feline or perky pooch behind. Cunard's ship, the Queen Mary 2, now has a full time Kennel Master to oversee the various needs and desires of your favorite pet. Presently, the ship boasts a dozen spacious kennels. These kennels are available on all crossings between New York and Southampton in either direction. New pet-friendly services and amenities were added in 2006 (such as fresh-baked gourmet biscuits at turn down, a variety of comfortable beds and blankets, and a lovely travel coat, complete with a QM2 logo).

Traveling dogs and cats also receive a complimentary gift pack, including:

	Frisbee
	Personalized name tag
	Food dish and scoop
	Fashionable portrait with pet owners
	A transatlantic crossing certificate
	Personalized cruise card

Additional perks include:

	Divinely comfortable pet beds in two sizes
	Healthy gourmet cookies for dogs and cats baked fresh daily and offered at bedtime
	Comfortable fleece blankets
	An assortment of dog and cat toys
	Cat posts and scratchers
	A selection of premium pet foods from recognized top brands

Carol Marlow, president and managing director of Cunard Line, has recently stated: "For some Cunard guests, transporting their pets safely and comfortably is a top priority, and having them cross the Atlantic onboard QM2 is far more desirable than flying them between continents. Now our guests' pets can truly travel in real style."

Because the kennels are open throughout the day, guests can spend a significant amount of time with their dear furry friends. Reservations for these kennels are based upon availability, so please speak with your Cruise Cat travel specialist to book as early as possible.

Several decades ago, in the 1950's, famed actress Elizabeth Taylor transported her beloved puppies on board the original Queen Mary and exercised them regularly on the ship's sports deck. She even ordered special meals just for them.

Since that time, Cunard Cruise Line has catered to circus elephants, canaries, a monkey and even a boa constrictor.

From bow to stern, discover 14 spacious decks on which to relax and unwind; to indulge in pleasures and pursuits you never normally have time for. Opulent public areas, extravagant dining rooms, ballrooms, theatres, lounges...even the only Planetarium at sea. Cunard Cruise Line has a long tradition of creating ships which command the superlative in comparison to all others. Truly, the Queen Mary 2 is the defining luxury ocean liner for the 21st century in every possible aspect.
