Press Release Body = Leading ferry operator Stena Line now boasts new and improved kennels for the beloved dog to provide a comfortable place to rest while owners enjoy the new onboard experience on Stena Line’s newly lengthened and refurbished Superferries.
As
part of the latest refurbishments on the Stena Britannica,
which sails on the Harwich – Hook of Holland (http://www.stenaline.co.uk/stena_line/stena_line_uk/gb/harwich_-_holland.html)
route, Stena Line have ensured that there is enough room in
each of their
well-ventilated kennels for petite pooches to colossal canines.
The pet area is situated in a special quiet area of the vessel to ensure travelling
pets can remain as calm and tranquil as possible during the crossing. The Stena
Hollandica will also soon have its own designated pet area to ensure
that no matter which of the ferries customers choose to travel on, they can
rest assured that pet travel to Holland with Stena Line (http://www.stenaline.co.uk/stena_line/stena_line_uk/harwich_-_holland/planning_your_trip/gb/travel_with_pets.html)
will be stress free for both pets and owners.
Stena Line (http://www.stenaline.co.uk/stena_line/gb/stena_line_uk.html) already gives dog owners who wish to transport their pet the option to house their dog within their own vehicle for the duration of the crossing, whilst those travelling with a cat can keep them in the comfort of their own cat boxes inside the car. With Stena Line prices for pet travel to Holland (http://www.stenaline.co.uk/stena_line/stena_line_uk/harwich_-_holland/planning_your_trip/gb/travel_with_pets.html) costing less than a few days at most boarding kennels, the service is proving to be popular amongst pet owners and makes bringing a pet along to enjoy the holiday a pleasing alternative compared with leaving them in a kennel.
Last year Stena Line transported over 2,700 cats and dogs across the North Sea, with the majority of dogs crossing during the summer holidays. This displays a rising trend for UK travellers to take their pets on holiday with them.
Holland has always proved a popular destination for travellers, boasting a range of outdoor activities for holidaymakers, with or without their pets, from walks in the parks or along the many canals of Rotterdam to cycling Holland’s picturesque towns and countryside.
