Spirited Travellers Say

Great communication and support for my hubby with some mobility issues.

The staff on and off the boat could not have been more helpful, always smiling, always asking if they could help me in some way, I am in a wheel chair, and nothing was a problem for them, I strongly recommend the spirit for the only means of transport to Tasmania, well done guys, you are fantastic ambassadors for Tasmania.

I have mobility challenges and the staff from the first phone call to make enquiries, to the staff at the Geelong terminal and then those on board, were100% helpful and kind. It’s was the kindness and genuine willingness to help that struck me most. Thank you all so much. Our cabin was clean, well provisioned and comfortable.

We took our caravan on the SOT for the first time and found the process very smooth and efficient. Staff were great. I love the way you serve tassie wines and spirits and the buffet dinner was superb. Well done.

Very well organised with plenty of staff to guide us through the sometimes daunting process of understanding what’s required of us as passengers with car and large caravan. Directions were clear and we felt well looked after. The cabin was great, providing us with sufficient private space. Well done team.

This is both 5 stars for Geelong and Devonport terminal. We were due to get on the 10pm ferry, 2ks from the terminal our car broke down. Devonport towed our vehicle onto the ship with no drama and then Geelong towed us off and put us up in the truckies lounge until we sorted out a tow to the mechanic. All the staff were nothing but helpful and supportive. Thankyou so much!

I would like to sincerely thank your wonderful staff for going out of thier way in assisting me to be able to get our Car and Caravan onto the ship. Because of my partners inability to be able to walk or drive I was left to negotiate the boarding myself, but the fantastic friendly ground crew guided me all the way. I would also like recommend the office staff who arranged a cabin for George and organiszed a wheelchair medical assistant to deliver George to the ship where he deposited him in to the cabin, I was given a site on the ship that was right next to the entrance and only a few meters from the lift, where I found the cabin only 5 metres from the lift. I cannot praise all those people enough who helped me through a very stresstful time.
