General Guidelines for All Cruises

  • Service animals are always welcome – free of charge, in accordance with accessibility laws.

  • Please be prepared to produce evidence identifying your pet as a certified service animal

  • Emotional support animals, therapy animals, and comfort pets follow the same rules as regular pets.

  • For the comfort of all guests, pets are not allowed on seats or furniture.

  • Please consider weather and noise conditions when deciding if the cruise is suitable for your pet’s well-being.

  • Please be considerate of passengers in your vicinity who declare a phobia or allergy to your pet

  • The Captain, at his own discretion, reserves the right to refuse admission to a pet if safety or comfort of passengers may be impacted.

  • Pets showing aggressive or disruptive behaviour may be confined to a remote area of the vessel with its owner
  • While we love all creatures, rodents, snakes, lizards, and other surprise reptiles are best left adventuring not on a boat. If it slithers, scurries, or needs a heat lamp, it’s probably not coming aboard.
  • There is a $30 charge if we are required to clean up after your pet
  • Bottom line – if you know your pet is not well socialized and may be a nuisance to other passengers, please save us the trouble and yourself the embarrassment
