travelling with pets

P&O Ferries accept the carriage of pet animals on the Rotterdam-Hull route, at a charge of €21 each way for any travelling onboard.

If you are taking your pet(s), you will need to check-in at least ninety minutes before departure and the animals remain inside air-conditioned kennels on the vehicle decks during the duration of the crossing. Foot and coach passengers are unable to carry pets, with the exception of registered guide and hearing dogs, which are carried free of charge. Please note that animals cannot travel unaccompanied.

For those wishing their dog, cat or ferret to travel under the PETS passport scheme, further information can be obtained from the Defra website, as well as quarantine requirements for pets that do not qualify under the scheme. Please note, cats and dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 6 months before you travel, so make sure you plan well in advance. EU legislation now allows rabbits and rodents such as guinea pigs and mice to travel too – and you won’t need a pet passport to transport them!

Pets cannot be booked online for Rotterdam-Hull crossings, so please call us to make your booking.
