Following calls from pet owners, a popular ferry service has announced plans to add dedicated dog lounges to their fleet. The new offering will be included on their busy Cairnryan-Larne route.
Though no official date has been confirmed, the new service is designed to help those travelling between Northern Ireland and Scotland with pets.
The move comes as more and more families across the UK include their pets within their travel arrangements and will see dog lounges added to P&O's Irish Sea ferries. These are expected to be similar to the ones already available on their Dover to Calais routes with indoor booths, TV, charging points and plugs, plus a dedicated steward and an enclosed exercise area. Customers will have to pay an added fee to upgrade the P&O Pet Lounge, which is expected to be around £12 each way, reports Belfast Live.
