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!

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.

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.
