Spirit of
Tasmania chief executive Peter Simmons today announced
the company would be operating 12 additional daylight
sailings later next year.
Mr Simmons said the extra sailings for Melbourne to
Devonport service had been scheduled for the September/October
period due to the ongoing heavy demand.
"Bookings are being taken for almost a year in
advance, which should continue to boost the tourism
industry of Tasmania," said Mr Simmons.
Miranda Foster, Manager Reservations and Information
Systems, said, "Travel on Spirit of Tasmania
I and II has quickly become one of the most sought
after ways of travelling to Tasmania. It allows people
the choice of taking their vehicle with them."
