help Tasmanian Ferry Pass Program FAQ

Which Tasmanian ferry routes does the pass program cover?

The Tasmanian ferry pass program primarily covers crossings operated by Spirit of Tasmania, which runs between Melbourne (Victoria) and Devonport (Tasmania). The specific routes and number of crossings included depend on the tier of pass purchased, with multi-trip packages offering better per-crossing value than individual bookings.

How much money do you save with the Tasmanian Ferry Pass compared to individual bookings?

The exact savings depend on the season and pass tier, as Spirit of Tasmania pricing varies significantly between peak and off-peak periods. Frequent travelers during off-peak periods can see meaningful per-crossing discounts compared to standard fares, though peak summer crossings offer less of a margin.

Can I take a vehicle on the Spirit of Tasmania with the ferry pass?

Yes, the pass program accommodates vehicle bookings in addition to passenger fares, which is critical since most travelers bring a car to Tasmania. Vehicle pricing is calculated separately from the passenger fare and varies by vehicle length and season.

How far in advance should I book Spirit of Tasmania crossings with the pass during peak season?

During peak summer months from December to February, crossings sell out well in advance, especially for vehicle berths. Booking several months ahead is strongly recommended, as last-minute availability is extremely limited during school holidays and the Christmas period.
