About Spirit of Tasmania
Abel Tasman – 1984–1993 Spirit of Tasmania I & II – 2002–present
Let’s journey back to where it all began…1985,
a year of big hair, ripped jeans and neon clothing.
Bob Hawke was PM. Melbourne celebrated its 150th
year. Neighbours debuted on network television…
And TT-Line, the operator of Spirit of Tasmania,
was born.
On 1 July 1985, TT-Line began operating passenger
and vehicle transport across Bass Strait on the
German-built Abel Tasman. This ship maintained
regular and reliable service until 1993, when she
was replaced by the much larger “original” Spirit of
Tasmania. Only 11 metres shorter than the MCG,
this gleaming white empress of the sea could carry
more than 1300 passengers. The same year, TT-
Line separated from the Department of Transport
and became a corporation wholly owned by the
Tasmanian Government.
In 1997, things kicked up a notch with the introduction
of the Devil Cat, a Tasmanian-built catamaran that
took just six hours to travel from George Town in
Tasmania’s north to Station Pier in Port Melbourne.
The speedy vessel operated during the summer
peak season in conjunction with the original Spirit of Tasmania from 1997 to 2002.
The iconic red-and-white ships we know today as Spirit of Tasmania I and II replaced the original MV Spirit of Tasmania in 2002. Constructed in Finland in 1998 and previously operated in Greece and Italy, these two monohull vessels made their dual maiden voyages on 1 September.
In 2004, a third vessel was introduced to the Spirit of Tasmania fleet, operating between Sydney and Tasmania. Spirit of Tasmania III sailed between Darling Harbour and
Devonport overnight, taking approximately 22 hours.
While very popular with passengers at the time, the
Sydney to Tassie route was discontinued in 2006.
To this day, Spirit of Tasmania I and II continue to
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.
And while the ships today may look vastly different
from those of yesteryear, the brilliant sunsets and
stunning vistas of the Strait just cannot be replaced.
Length: 149 metres Speed: 18 knotsInteresting fact: Abel Janszoon Tasman was the first known European explorer to reach the islands of Van Diemen’s Land.
Length: 194.33 metres Speed: 27 knotsInteresting fact: Stretched from end to end, the vehicle lanes on each ship would be almost two kilometres long.
Spirit of Tasmania – 1993–2002 Length: 161.5 metres Speed: 17.5 knotsInteresting fact: It was only 11 metres shorter than the inside of the MCG.

some of the friendly locals. Visit a grocer
or deli and sample some mouth-watering
chocolates, cheeses and jams – for if there’s
one thing Tassie does well, it’s their food.
And of course, there’s the wine… the state
is positively teeming with vineyards and
wineries, offering visitors the chance to taste
some of the world’s finest reds and whites.
Taking your car to Tassie makes perfect
sense. After all, who wants to fork out the
money for a hire car, or worry about airport
parking, bus and taxi costs? Bringing your
vehicle on board is a breeze. It’s so easy in
fact, you don’t even have to reverse – simply
drive on and drive off. And by having your
car, caravan or campervan with you, you’ll
be able to hit the open road as soon as you
arrive. With the only luggage restriction
being your vehicle’s capacity, you can strap
a surfboard to the roof, pack the golf clubs,
chuck in the hiking boots and even bring
extra suitcases. Whether it’s an adventure
with the family or a weekend getaway with
a loved one, taking your vehicle on board is
an easy and stress-free option.
There’s no need to hurry on this road trip. Tap into the relaxed island lifestyle and explore each new hidden gem at your leisure. Be sure to call in to the smaller towns as well as the larger ones. Wind down the window and chat to
Tassie is a place best explored on wheels – a patchwork of alpine forests, lush fields and craggy coastlines. With so much stunning natural beauty on offer, you’ll want to take it slow and make regular pit stops.

Sail by day
On a Day Ticket you’re free to wander the ship at your leisure and explore the indoor areas and outside decks to your heart’s content. Or for added relaxation (and a siesta), book a cabin and have your own private place to retreat to.
Kick off your journey with a latest release movie in one of the two brand new cinemas. Then grab some lunch at TMK and enjoy live music in the Terrace Lounge Bar with a glass in hand. (You’ll soon
discover why Tassie’s cool climate and pristine environment produce some of the world’s best wines, beers and whiskies.) For some peace and quiet, curl up by the window on one of the many comfy lounges and spend the afternoon gazing out at sea…because after all, it’s about savouring the view while in absolute comfort. Plus kids and adults alike will be kept entertained by roving circus performers, face painters, trivia and disco bingo.
Over summer, as well as during high demand periods, Spirit of Tasmania operates day sailings, which depart each port (Melbourne and Devonport) at 9:00am and arrive the same day at 6:00pm.

There’s also plenty to do on the overnight leg. First thing’s first though: you’ll want to head straight out on deck and take in the stunning cityscape of Melbourne receding into the twilit distance.
Once you’ve got your breath back, head inside and kick back with a glass of Tassie vino or craft beer. Then sample some fresh Tassie produce and even catch a late-night movie before heading back to your cabin for a cosy night’s sleep.
There’s something altogether magical about sailing at night. It’s not just the sparkling city views or the endless starry skies; it’s the thrill of waking up at your destination, refreshed and ready to explore.
