spirit of tasmania 1 Page 25

Ah, the Spirit of Tasmania 1, Australia's aquatic chariot between mainland Victoria and Tasmania. This colossal ferry boasts a length of 222 metres and can carry up to 1200 passengers along with 500 vehicles. Powered by diesel engines, it can cruise at around 27 knots, making the roughly 9-11 hour crossing a chance to contemplate life or maybe just try the onboard snacks. Facilities include cabins, restaurants, and lounges, so you can pretend you're on a floating hotel rather than a glorified bus on water. For the latest schedules and booking info, consult the official Spirit of Tasmania website or check out forums on ServiceCentral. Bon voyage!
