Travelers clash over whether cruise lines should allow dogs and cats on board or not

Fabled Voyages, a Denver-based residential cruise startup, is offering pet-friendly cruises allowing dogs and cats onboard, starting in March 2026. The company positions this policy as a key feature for 15-year residencies, while major cruise lines typically prohibit non-service animals due to sanitation, space, and regulatory challenges. Travelers remain divided, with some supporting dedicated pet cruises and others opposing the idea.
