Spirit of Tasmania is preparing for a hectic Easter period with the fleet to carry around 12,000 passengers over the long weekend and over 23,000 passengers to the end of Easter week.

From Thursday morning to Tuesday afternoon inclusive, Spirit of Tasmania I , II & III combined will complete 22 sailings between Melbourne, Devonport and Sydney.

"The Easter period is always popular on our ships," said Chief Executive Peter Simmons today.

"Some passengers see the Easter break as a good opportunity to take additional days off and take their time touring Tasmania. We also have passengers that use the Easter holidays to travel home and catch up with family.

"It certainly is an important time for attracting long break visitors," said Mr Simmons.

To get into the Easter spirit, 2500 Easter eggs will be available between the three ships for passengers travelling on Easter Sunday.
