Spirit of Tasmania is celebrating the dry docking of Spirit of Tasmania II by introducing exclusive day sailings at half the regular retail price.

Set sail on Spirit for just $58 per person on day sailings between Devonport to Melbourne only.

Ms Melindy Green, Director Marketing and Communications said usually day sailings are only available during periods of high demand. However during dry dock exclusive day sailings will be available for just three weeks at this special price.

“Passengers who take advantage of this special offer will enjoy the convenience, reliability and superb experience of our unique mid year day sailing service,” she said.

“Spirit of Tasmania offers passengers an unparalleled travelling experience with the freedom to take their own vehicle and the convenience to bring along unlimited luggage.

“There is no better way to take a touring holiday through Victoria than by taking your own vehicle and it is far more cost effective than hiring a car.”

Ms Green said on 27 July 2008 Spirit of Tasmania II will depart Devonport bound for Garden Island, New South Wales, where it will undergo routine extensive external cleaning and mechanical upgrades.

During this period Spirit of Tasmania will be conducting day sailings between Devonport and Melbourne departing at 9am, and night sailings between Melbourne and Devonport departing at 9pm.

Hurry! Half price fares available on selected sailings for travel between 28 July and 15 August 2008 are selling fast.
