Lerwick Shetland Esplanade Ferry Terminal, Shetland, UK
Travelled to Shetland using NorthLink Ferry. We didn't have the pet friendly room due to it only being useable for 2 people... hoping for a 4 bed cabin with dog soon
We used the kennel facilities on board. Storm loved them the staff were so lovely and dogs are checked in on every hour to make sure everything is okay and you get to take ur furry friend out for a night stroll if you wish at around 9pm on the outdoor levels but you can go see them at any point as long as there is appropriate staff available
Thanks for a fab experience and we hope to make it back soon
