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.

Love taking a day trip on the spirit of Tasmania, we take a day trip so our 2 year old can run around in the playground and have fun with other kids. She also enjoyed the face painting with the nice lady doing some art and face painting with and for the kids. Also both our kids enjoyed the live music. Has nice clean baby change rooms everything was spot on we enjoyed our cruise.

Brilliant, helpful staff, room perfectly comfortable for an overnight stay, and appreciated the room amenities. (p.s did not have any food on-board but the beer was fabulous).

It is always a pleasure to travel on the SOT. Recommended to book a cabin so as to be comfortable and have some privacy, shower, etc, and to rest and relax. Entertainment in board is available, real coffee on board, take away food, breakfast, and amazing sunset and sunrises from the boat 🚢 😀 Travelling in and out of the heads, you will notice greater movement in the boat 🚢 sea sickness meds are recommended, happy sailing 😀
