For those willing to wrap up warm and embrace the season, a winter canal boat holiday offers something rare: stillness, beauty, and an entirely different way to experience the waterways.

Owning a cat on a narrowboat isn’t quite like owning one in a house, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a shared adventure, one that turns everyday cruising into a story of paws, whiskers, and watery reflections.

Cruising the canals on a narrowboat is one of life’s most peaceful pleasures—and bringing your dog along can make the experience even more special. If you're planning a trip with your pup, here’s everything you need to know to keep them safe, happy, and tail-wagging on the water.

Whether you're dreaming of weekend escapes or a full-time floating home, narrowboat ownership brings a unique blend of freedom, simplicity, and adventure.
