When Abigail Morris boarded Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2 ship, her luggage wasn’t her only precious cargo.
Morris was moving from the United Kingdom to the Washington, DC, area with her husband in 2024, along with her then-3-year-old Maltipoo, Monty.
Dogs generally aren’t allowed on cruises, but after struggling to find a flight that would allow pets in the cabin, Morris decided to bring Monty across the pond in the storied ocean liner’s kennels – one of the only ways cruise travelers' furry friends can sail the high seas. It typically takes seven nights to sail instead of eight hours flying, but the comfort doesn't compare.
