Transporting Animals from Iceland to Germany via Ferry

Pets cannot be brought to and from Iceland.

Pets may only be brought from Denmark to the Faroe Islands in summer if the stay exceeds three months and under special import regulations. Smyril Line recommends that passengers contact the local authorities before travelling. Check local import rules at hfs.fo

Pet transport is subject to a supplementary charge, is at the owner’s own risk, and follows special regulations agreed with Smyril Line.

Pets are not allowed in the cabins. Violations incur a DKK 3,000 / EUR 405 cleaning fee.

When travelling with pets, a cage must be booked together with the ticket. The cages are numbered – 1–4 for small cages and 5–6 for large cages. Upon boarding, please collect the cage keys at reception. A deposit of DKK 200 is required and refunded upon return of the keys.

Large cages measure 80 cm (W) x 115 cm (H) x 130 cm (D).
Small cages measure 80 cm (W) x 55 cm (H) x 130 cm (D).
