It’s one pampered dog (not to mention cat) that gets to cruise with Cunard – the only line on which you can book your pet a passage.

For the past year, Aldrin Mateo has served as kennel master on the Queen Mary 2, having worked in a few roles with Cunard before this appointment. The QM2 is a classic ocean liner with 24 kennels, which are only available to book on the seven-day trans-Atlantic route (New York City to Southampton and vice versa).
