World's First Dog-Friendly Cruise to Launch in 2025

Margaritaville at Sea's Islander ship will host a unique canine-inclusive voyage from Tampa.

The cruise, organized by Cruise Tails and Expedia Cruises of West Orlando, will set sail in November 2025 with 250 dogs and their owners.
Dogs on board will have access to grooming and massage areas, private relief stations, and a pet butler for cabin maintenance.
Activities include dog shows, training sessions, costume contests, and guest speakers, with specific areas designated as dog-free zones.
Organizers are seeking sponsors and vendors to turn the cruise into a recurring event, with opportunities for businesses to engage with a pet-loving audience.
Participants must follow protocols, including keeping dogs in permitted areas and ensuring they are up-to-date with vaccinations.
