Very easy to book on line. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable on the ferry. Took our dog with us and put him in the kennel on board, very easy. We booked a recliner and had a little sleep during the day trip. We were very happy with our trip. I would recommend the spirit of Tasmania.

From the moment we pulled up to the terminal with our car and caravan everything is run like clockwork. From parking our vehicle to our cabin( which I highly recommend) was a breeze. Defiantly recommend.

We had an amazing experience traveling on the Spirit of Tasmania from Geelong with family. The whole journey was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The staff provided clear guidance and great communication before the trip, which made everything super easy and stress-free. The check-in process was well-organized, and the facilities onboard were clean and comfortable. It was the perfect way to start our Tasmanian adventure, especially with kids. Highly recommend this experience to anyone planning to travel with car + family. Definitely worth it!

Staff are amazing from the moment you get your room key/ticket the staff are always there to help. Had a minor mishap with my car’s hand break. After mentioning this to staff they helped. Staff on the boat were also great, had a few drinks and managed to have a nice atmosphere and the food was to die for.

Great way to get down to Tasmania. Plenty of options for the kids for the 10-hour trip. Arcade, game console, 2 cinemas. Food options were great, offering pizzas, pastries snacks all the way to roasted chicken and veggies. The staff were super friendly and very helpful, going out of their way to give you a great experience.
