Discover Spirit of Tasmania Quay

Ample parking

The new precinct – Spirit of Tasmania Quay - offers free parking for cars, campervans, motorcycles and freight vehicles, making your arrival relaxing and stress free. Featuring a dedicated drop off/pick up zone and a marshalling area for 600 cars the new precinct also includes more than 6,000m2 of undercover parking for passengers.

Spacious surrounds

Spread over 12 hectares, Spirit of Tasmania Quay boasts plenty of space to stretch your legs before your journey. Soak up the views of Corio Quay as you stroll along the boardwalk before check-in.

Exceptional facilities

Inspired by the natural landscapes of Tasmania, the 2,131m2 terminal is the ideal place to unwind before you board. Expect to see comfortable lounge areas, a café, free Wi-Fi, charging stations for devices, accessible facilities and a nearby pet zone.

Streamlined access

The precinct boasts improved and direct access points off Corio Quay Road for cars and heavy vehicles. This will allow safe access to and from the Quay, as well as limiting congestion and traffic for smooth boarding and disembarking. Signals throughout the area will help passengers to follow the right route.

Efficient boarding

Boarding and disembarking will be an absolute breeze thanks to a new multi-level access ramp. This engineering feat will allow cars, caravans and heavy vehicles to board or disembark the ship at the same time – ensuring another level of efficiency and easy access to the ship.

Easy exploring

With an unbeatable location just 10 minutes’ drive from Geelong CBD, the new terminal is perfectly located to make the most of the area. With pristine beaches, exquisite wineries and plenty of attractions all within easy reach, Spirit of Tasmania Quay is your launchpad to this enchanting area.

Anchors Rest Cafe

Anchors Rest Cafe serves a range of freshly prepared items, including light breakfast, pastries, salads, sandwiches, soups, wraps, pies and sausage rolls, and beverages, including quality coffee and soft drinks. The cafe is available to Spirit of Tasmania passengers and visitors at the Geelong Terminal. Find out more

The new facilities at Geelong are fantastic. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and informative. I was a little surprised to see just how very reasonably priced the meals and drinks were on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. Not at all as expensive as I expected.

The new terminal facilities at Geelong were very easy to find, well appointed and made the boarding process very simple departing Melbourne. The terminal has a cafe with the standard service provision, plenty of seating and an abundance of tourism brochures for things to do in Tasmania.

General Questions

Spirit of Tasmania moved its Victorian terminal to Geelong on 23 October 2022. All sailings now depart from and arrive into Geelong. Spirit of Tasmania no longer operates sailings from Station Pier, Port Melbourne. 

Over the years our service has grown from strength to strength to the point where we have outgrown our home port at Station Pier, Port Melbourne. The new purpose-designed facility creates an enhanced experience for passengers with: easy access; ample parking for passenger vehicles; state-of-the art technology to enable seamless boarding and security processes; and comfortable passenger lounge with a café and children’s play area. The new terminal will also accommodate the larger Spirit of Tasmania vessels. Spirit of Tasmania IV is expected to be delivered late 2024 and Spirit of Tasmania V is expected to arrive in Australia, in 2025.

The voyage times are comparable to the previous crossing with the new route taking between 9.5 and 11.5 hours.

The new terminal is called Spirit of Tasmania Quay and is located at 136 Corio Quay Road, North Geelong. Directional signage has been installed on all major roads leading to the terminal.
