As the only passenger vessel to carry dogs and cats, Queen Mary 2 expanded its kennel service during this renovation, adding 12 new kennels for a total of 24.
In addition, the ship extended the kennel area, adding an owner’s lounge, new pet playground and expanded outdoor area to accommodate a British lamppost and American fire hydrant.
Cunard’s pet-friendly policy dates back 176 years to Britannia's maiden voyage in 1840 when the ship sailed with a cow to provide fresh milk for passengers.
Famous canines such as Rin-Tin-Tin, Elizabeth Taylor’s pampered pups and the Duke of Windsor’s dogs traveled on Cunard, and to continue that tradition, Boston’s top Instagram dogs joined Cunard on board the ship to test the new, expanded kennels.
Queen Mary 2 is overnighting in Québec and departs for Saugerties on Oct. 4 as part of a 10-day Canada/New England sailing round-trip from New York.
