Vacationing with Your Dog: Corsica Ferries!

Planning a vacation with your dog but feeling unsure? Unsure whether to travel by train, plane, or boat? We've tested it for you and recommend Corsica Ferries!

Corsica Ferries Boat

 

 
 

By traveling with this company, you can go to Corsica, but also to Sardinia, Sicily, the island of Elba, and the Balearics!

 

 

But why am I telling you this? What does it have to do with our dear dogs? 

The connection is that with this company, your dog stays with you on board for the entire crossing—no more stress of putting your dog in the ship's kennel or leaving it alone in the car with all the stressful garage noises!
 
 

Your dog is allowed in specific cabins, in designated public areas, and restaurants! But that's not all; I was also very pleasantly surprised by the informative signs regarding dog life on board the ferries!

A positive message that mainly talks about the well-being and emotions that dogs can feel!

Your dog on board the ferries

On board the ferries, your dog can accompany you in specific cabins and in designated public areas and restaurants. Familiarize yourself with a few simple rules so that your crossing with your faithful companion is a truly relaxing moment!

 

 

 

My owner  and me

 

Always keep me close to you. During the crossing, I must always stay with you.

Help me not to get lost. On board the ship, the signage for "Animal Hygiene Area" is clearly visible, but only you can recognize it.

Cuddle me. If I am slightly aggressive, remind me to behave properly, and if I relieve myself, we need to clean up.

Listen to me. If I bark, it may mean that I am not well. Take a moment to check on me. Other passengers might be disturbed. In that case, we could be moved away from public areas.

Always bring me with you. Never leave me alone in the cabin.  

* On ships where the area is available.


Good manners during the walk

 

Rule 1  In common areas, I must always be on a leash and wear a muzzle*.

( *during our many crossings with Corsica Ferries, the muzzle was only required for dogs of certain breeds and those prone to react to humans or other dogs)

 

Rule 2  I must always be accompanied by someone capable of managing my energy and strength.

 

And if I make a mess?

 

Clean it up.  I can't do it!

Even in the areas designated for me. On board, you must pick up what I leave behind and dispose of it in the designated bins. Don't embarrass me!

The pet toilet area is on the upper deck, with large steel bins filled with pebbles dedicated to dogs for their needs! 

So if one day you wish to travel with this company, you can do so without worries with your dog!

 

We tested it for you, and what a joy it is to share the crossing with your furry friend by your side!
