About Spirit of TasmaniaSpirit of Tasmania I and II transport passengers, passenger vehicles and freight between Melbourne and Tasmania. In 2015, the two vessels underwent a major refurbishment, with their interiors being completely refitted and redesigned.

Spirit of Tasmania is one of Australia’s most iconic tourism operators providing passengers with a unique, convenient, safe and reliable service.

The 429 kilometre voyage between Melbourne and Devonport takes approximately ten

and half hours across Bass Strait. Departing 7:30pm from Station Pier in Port Melbourne and Devonport in Tasmania’s north-west, the twin ships offer passengers a unique sailing experience combined with the convenience of bringing their own vehicles.

Day sailings also operate during periods of high demand (September to May).

Spirit of Tasmania provides passengers with a trip to remember with spectacular views,

delicious food and great entertainment.
