If you've checked out our Day Sailing Entertainment Schedule, you may have wondered what our performance with 'Creature Tales' is all about. Here's some footage of Creature Tales on board Spirit of Tasmania and it's not hard to see why we've had the kids laughing in hysterics this summer season!


Day sailings end on 9 April for the 2012 summer season, but don't worry…there will be plenty more fun and entertainment on board next summer. Next year's day sailings commence on 23 December 2012 and you can currently catch a Day Ticket from $75 per person each way.  Get in early!


The North Melbourne fans weren't the only ones who had a ball at Saturday night's match at Etihad Stadium, 31 March. The team at Spirit of Tasmania also enjoyed a night to remember as the match sponsor!

Watch this video to check out all the fun, entertainment and activities the North Melbourne fans were a part of with Spirit of Tasmania. North Melbourne Football Club have also provided a great wrap up of the event - click here to read.

A big thank you goes out to all the fans who participated in the fun and activities on the night. We also wish the North Melbourne players the very best of luck for the 2012 footy season.

Thanks once again to the Power family for sharing their wonderful experience on board Spirit of Tasmania. On their return journey, they decided to take a day sailing. Were the kids bored? Absolutely not! Here's a snippet of Rachel's review and you can read the full story by clicking on the link below.


After nine weeks on the road and our journey coming to an end, we had one more thing to look forward to, our return journey on the Spirit of Tasmania. We chose to take a day sailing this time so we had more time to explore and savour the adventure. The Spirit didn't let us down!

I was absolutely amazed that not once during the entire day (about nine hours sailing) had I heard the dreaded "I'm bored Mummy." The Spirit of Tasmania had catered for the children from the time we left Devonport until the time we reached Melbourne. The kids have great memories of their adventure in Tasmania, and the Spirit of Tasmania is number one. It's one of our favourite memories too.

We were thrilled to see that one of our passengers baked a Spirit of Tasmania birthday cake! Our team would like to thank the Monk family for creating and sharing this wonderful masterpiece. We're sure it tasted as good as it looks!
