Let's Sail Away To Tasmania

This is the Spirit of Tasmania II one of three passenger liners that ferry you from Melbourne to Devonport in Tasmania across the Bass Strait .The Spirit of Tasmania I & II ferry passengers from Melbourne to Devonport and the Spirit of Tasmania III ferry passengers from Sydney to Devonport. The 2 liners departing Melbourne/Devonport depart at around 8 or 9 pm at night and arrive around 7 am the next day in both directions. There will be plenty to do when on board with plenty of entertainments and activities to keep you occupied throughout the night.
If you travel without your car you'd have to check-in through here at the Station Pier but it would be more fun if you could drive your car there..
..then you get to drive up this ramp and into the holding bay of the ship! Accomodations onboard the ship range from the Cruise Seats which don't include beds to Deluxe Cabins where you get your own cabin with queen size bed and private facilities.
The Spirit of Tasmania I & II were built in 1998 and have an overall length of 194.3 metres, 25 metre width and a gross tonnage of 29,067 tonnes each. They both have 750 berths, 222 cabins, 146 Business Class Seats, 126 Cruise Seats and a holding capacity of 300 cars and 40 semi trailers.

The Spirit of Tasmania is a great way to travel to Tasmania and anyone planning to fly to Tasmania might want to consider this option to experience the fun while getting there.
