Try a Spirit of Tasmania Trip For Some Adventure on the High Seas
From the Australian mainland, you can fly To Tasmania in less than 2 hours. Why take 9-11 hours to get there by sea?
Well Greg (my husband) and I decided that we wanted to experience a Spirit of Tasmania trip at least once, so we went online and made a booking. We booked about a couple of months in advance. We went with “Ocean View Recliners” since they sounded pretty comfy.
You can take a vehicle along with you on the ship. However we had arranged to pick up a pre-booked rental car on arrival in Tasmania.
We were dropped off at the Port Melbourne terminal around 7.30am. The departure was scheduled for 9am. It was so thrilling to see the Spirit of Tasmania I waiting there for us.
First impressions
On first boarding we found ourselves at the foot of an escalator. It sure seemed like we were in a building rather than on a ship! We explored the surrounds – found the eateries, bars, shops, cinema, games room and just made sure we knew how to get around. There was even a children’s playroom where some little ones were already having a good old time!
