France to Morocco

Balearia Ferries:

Sete / Nador (approx 38 hours)

While Balearia do offer pet friendly cabins on some routes, unfortunately not on the ship that operates the Sete / Nador route. I can only assume this means that pets must use the 'calm houses' that Balearia also offer. Thankfully these seem to be on the passenger deck on most routes so that you can exercise and visit your dog - but it would be best to check this for certain if you are taking this route. More information on the calm houses here.
