Travelling with pets: get the latest on travelling with pets from Great Britain to the EU – by Tania Nieveen

Talk Synopsis
Choosing to take your pet(s) cruising with you can increase your enjoyment of your trip. However, if you are cruising into EU waters (or beyond) with your pet, some important planning and preparation steps are required to ensure your pet meets the requirements of entry/exit from the countries you are visiting. You can view the CA’s Travelling with Pets information and find more information and links here.

Talk Synopsis
Following the departure of the UK from the European Union in 2021, UK nationals are now subject to the same travel restrictions as nationals from other non-EU countries. This talk helped to demystify some of the requirements and restrictions, while also highlighting what opportunities remain for extended travel in Europe – for both UK and other non-EU nationals.
