- A luxury cruise company in Singapore is offering cruises for cats and their owners.
- It's fitted the Royal Albatross, a 150-foot vessel, with a "cat playground" and "catbanas."
A Singaporean luxury cruise company is offering cat-friendly dinner cruises for pet owners looking to treat their felines.
An evening ticket to sail on the Royal Albatross, a 150-foot vessel owned by Tall Ship Adventures, costs around $165 per adult and $90 per child.
Passengers sail from Singapore's Sentosa Island, and are taken to see the city-state's downtown skyline and fireworks, per Tall Ship Adventures' website.
The company's four-masted tall ship features a "cat playground," though the same ship is also used for separate, human-only cruises.
Cats on board The Royal Albatross can lounge on hanging platforms and carriers in the cabin, which partnership sales manager Sylvia Lee told EuroNews are called "catbanas."
The Royal Albatross can host around 150 passengers and 15 cats at a time, the outlet reported.
Owners are given a pack of cat food from PetCubes, a firm that it says makes "human-grade" food for pets using meats like chicken or beef.
Humans are served a four-course seafood dinner that can be upgraded to seven courses if they shell out $440 for a two-person package. A "Meow-tastic V.I.C" package for $550 also includes a bottle of champagne and a bouquet of roses, per the company's website.
Not all cats can enjoy the cruise, though. They'll have to be vaccinated, sterilized, parasite-free, and at least four months old, according to Tall Ship Adventures' restrictions.
Every cat on the sail also has to be supervised by at least one human, and they have to show up in harnesses and leads to make sure they don't escape.
Tall Ship Adventures has for several years also offered dog-friendly cruises. It also runs an "I'm sorry" cruise for couples to make up over dinner. Packages for these can cost up to $550 for a dog dinner cruise and $410 for apology dinners.
