The Calm Cabins are specially adapted spaces where your pet can travel on the ferry in a protected, ventilated, and comfortable manner. They are available on certain vessels and their location may vary depending on the ferry.
What are the Calm Cabins for pets?
The Calm Cabins are specific accommodation for companion animals, designed taking into account their needs during the crossing.
They are located in protected and properly ventilated areas of the vessel and have features intended to improve the pet’s wellbeing during the journey.
How are the Calm Cabins equipped?
The Calm Cabins have been designed to provide the pet with a protected and suitable space during the crossing.
Their main features include:
- Epoxy resin flooring to prevent the animal from being in direct contact with metal surfaces.
- A specific opening in the door designed to help the pet feel protected and reduce its alertness.
- Adequate ventilation during the crossing.
- Drainage to facilitate cleaning of the space.
- Sufficient space for the pet to remain comfortably during the journey.
Where are the Calm Cabins located on the ferry?
The location of the Calm Cabins depends on the vessel. They can be found on the deck, in areas near the garage, or in other spaces specifically designated for pets.
All these areas are prepared so that animals travel in a protected and properly ventilated space.
Can I bring my pet’s belongings to the Calm Cabin?
Yes. You can bring familiar items for your pet, such as a blanket or some of their toys, so they recognise usual scents and feel more comfortable during the crossing.
Aboard, a water bowl and water are provided. You should bring any food your pet may need during the journey with you.
Can I see my pet while it is travelling in a Calm Cabin?
On certain vessels, you can monitor your pet during the crossing. Ferries that offer this service allow you to check on the animal’s condition through a video monitoring system accessible from your device.
The availability of this service depends on the vessel operating the route.
Can I visit my pet during the crossing?
The possibility of visiting your pet depends on the vessel and the duration of the journey. On certain trips, you can visit your pet and, on longer journeys, take them to designated areas for walking when the ferry has them.
The schedules and conditions for visits will be indicated by the crew or can be consulted at the vessel’s reception.
What should I bring if my pet is travelling in a Calm Cabin?
To ensure your pet travels as comfortably as possible, we recommend bringing the items they may need during the crossing.
- Their food, if they will need it during the journey.
- A blanket, toy, or familiar object that may help them feel calmer.
- The necessary documentation for travel.
During the journey, you are responsible for the care of your pet, their needs, and any damage they may cause to the facilities or third parties.
