It depends on which operator you're sailing with — some ferries keep pets in your vehicle for the whole trip, while others have dedicated pet areas, kennels, or even pet-friendly cabins. Our Deal Finder lays out the options so you can pick the crossing that works for your pet.
There's a bit to know before travelling with a guide or assistance dog. Let our customer service team know in advance, or mention it to the ferry operator when you book, so everything's arranged ahead of time.
Carry any certification or documentation your dog needs, since you could be asked to show it at boarding or partway through the crossing.
Rules for guide dogs and assistance dogs can differ from general pet policy, even on sailings where pets aren't otherwise allowed. Reach out to our customer service team to check what applies to your sailing, or visit our Special Assistance Help page for more detail.

You'll get a confirmation email the moment your booking goes through. From there, how your boarding pass turns up depends on the operator.
Some operators send the boarding pass straight away, while others want you to check in at the port. Where it's on offer, online check-in through the Direct Ferries app can save you time at the terminal.
Ticket desks tend to sit right by the ferry terminal. Building in some extra time before you sail means you won't be rushed collecting tickets and getting checked in.
Have your confirmation email and valid photo ID — a passport or identity card — ready at check-in. If a pet's travelling with you, bring their vaccination and insurance papers, and hold onto proof of address if you booked with a resident discount.

The French town and seaport of Roscoff is located in the Brittany region of north western France. The town and surrounding area is a great introduction into Brittany's charms. The town itself has been labelled "Petite cite de caractere de Bretagne" (the small town with character) due to the lovely architecture on display. Located next to the coast are 16th century granite buildings and charming streets filled with restaurants, small art galleries and gift shops. Many of the town's specialities, which include fantastic local seafood and Breton crepes, can be found in many of the town's restaurants or street side creperies. Alternatively, sample some famous Brittany thalassotherapy - rejuvenating, healing and relaxing therapies using seawater and sea products.
The port was opened in 1973 and is unfortunately somewhat deficient in passenger facilities. Ferry services using the port depart to Rosslare and Cork in Ireland with crossing times of 17 hours and 13 hours respectively. The nearby Île de Batz, called Enez Vaz in Breton, is a small island that can also be reached by launch from the port.
The city of Plymouth is located in the south west of England, in the county of Devon, and has a long and rich maritime history and many famous residents over the years which includes Sir Francis Drake. It is the largest city in Devon and has a lovely location on the coast. The city has a large city centre that has been redeveloped and contains lots of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and also has a number of prominent modern suburbs. Perhaps the best known and most popular attraction in the city is the amazing National Marine Aquarium that contains large tanks of gigantic proportions, underwater tunnels and plenty of large sharks! Plymouth Gin with its famous distillery that dates back over 400 years is also a popular attraction as is the Dartmoor Wildlife Park to the north east of the city, which is popular with families. Green spaces within the city includes Central Park which features a range of sports facilities and a large leisure complex.
Ferries from Plymouth depart to Roscoff in France and Santander in Spain.
