Other Dog Activities in Sweden

Tallink Silja Line is a pet-friendly overnight cruise around the Baltic Sea. The Tallink Silja Line offers pet-friendly cruises from the Swedish capital to three other capital cities in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe: Helsinki, the capital of Finland; Tallinn, the capital of Estonia; and Riga, the capital of Latvia. There are a number of different pet-friendly cabin options on board, including one below the pet recreation area, one with a window, and a cheaper room lower down in the boat. There's a kennel option if all of the pet-friendly cabins are booked. The pet fee is 32 EUR for a round trip cruise. Up to three pets are allowed in each cabin, but dangerous breeds are not allowed on board. Dogs require an EU passport to travel internationally in Europe. This can be acquired from a licensed veterinarian in the EU, who will run a health check and administer rabies shots to applicant animals. Those traveling to Tallinn or Riga do not require any additional documents, although pets going to Finland need to be wormed one to five days before travel. If all the pet-friendly cabins are booked, there’s also a kennel option. More information can be found in the Traveling with Pets section of their website.
