Default Anyone taken their dogs from Oman to UK via Amsterdam/Ferry?

We are baulking at the air freight price of taking our two dogs back to Scotland; we have heard of people flying to Amsterdam, then taking a ferry to UK from there.

Anyone done this? Got any tips?

Thanks very much

Not personally, but I can confirm that it is possible to do so on the P&O ferry from Zeebrugge to Hull. There are cages on the lower car deck to house at least 20 pets (dogs or cats).

The Amsterdam - Newcastle ferry is operated by DFDS so you could check their websites.

Thank you - the Newcastle one would be so much easier however they don't accept passengers with dogs there, ie only dogs in cars. We will check out Zebrugge to Hull as well as Rotterdam to Hull and see how they compare

Rotterdam - Hull is also P&O, so likely to be fine.
