Cat lovers wanting to take to the high seas with their furry pals can now book a ride on "the world's fur-st cat cruise," aimed at creating "family moments of togetherness that will be remembered fur-ever!"
Run by Tall Ship Adventures Pte Ltd in Sentosa, Singapore, the cat cruise is a 2.5hour-long experience on the Royal Albatross vessel for cats and their owners, inspired "by strong demand from owners to let cats onboard" and aimed at celebrating the country's "love for cats and the Cat aka Kucinta."
"We want to help integrate cats into our human lifestyles so that cat owners can bond and share more experiences with their kitties," a website for the company reads. Photos show cat lovers posing their furry loved ones in cutesy costumes while enjoying access to the Cat Lounge - a private designer cabin that offers exceptional views.
