A unique cruise experience designed for dog owners and their pets will depart from Tampa (Florida USA) aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander in November 2025. The ship will welcome up to 250 dogs along with their owners, offering tailored amenities and activities to ensure a comfortable and entertaining voyage for both humans and canines.
The cruise promises an array of dog-centric activities, including dog shows, training sessions, costume contests, splash zones, and even massages for pets. Accommodations for passengers traveling with dogs will feature private balconies equipped with relief stations. A dedicated pet butler will also be available to assist with pet needs during the voyage.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all aboard, pets will be required to have up-to-date vaccinations and health clearances prior to boarding.
The cruise is organized through a partnership with Cruise Tails and Expedia Cruises of West Orlando. More details, including pricing, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
This initiative marks a step forward in niche cruising, catering to the growing demand for pet-friendly travel experiences.
