One of our advantages over airlines is that we are able to carry pet dogs. However, given the 8 hour duration of the Liverpool - Belfast sailing, having to leave a dog in a car or in a kennel is not ideal. For this reason we have created a ‘Dog Lodge’ on the Port side (left hand side) of the Promenade deck on the Stena Lagan and Stena Mersey therefore providing access to your pet throughout the duration of your journey. As a result, passengers are not only able to visit their dog whilst onboard the ship but are also able to exercise them under controlled conditions.

Note: Animals other than guide dogs and disability assistance are not permitted in the passenger areas onboard ship. A number of dog kennels are available on our ships and can be booked for £15 per single journey. Any foot passengers or cyclists travelling with their dog must place their dog in a kennel onboard.
