Tickets for sailings on the new Spirit of Tasmania IV and V vessels will start to be released from 10am on Monday for travel from 31 October 2025.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff visited Berth 3 on Friday to announce this exciting milestone.
"Ticket sales for the new Spirits will be available from Monday, marking a significant milestone for the project," Premier Rockliff said.
"Our tourism, hospitality and freight industries are so important to our economy and local jobs, and the increased capacity of the new ships will help each of these sectors expand.
"I want to thank TT-Line's new leadership team for their hard work and dedication to reach this next chapter."
CEO Chris Carbone said it was an exciting next chapter for Spirit of Tasmania and Tasmania's visitor and freight economy.
"The availability of tickets for travel on our new vessels is an important milestone in our vessel and terminal upgrade program," he said.
"It is the start of a carefully planned approach to bring our two new vessels, alongside the new T3 terminal in Devonport into service, by the end of October next year."
Due to the scale and complexity of the replacement project, tickets for sailings on the new vessels will be released in two stages, with all ship accommodation types, including pet cabins, family cabins and business recliners, expected to be available for sale by May 2026.
Mr Carbone said this was designed to ensure a smooth transition to the new ships, while maintaining the company's existing reliable service.

Mr Carbone said throughout the transition between the new and current ships, the company's existing vessels would continue to sail as normal.
"The current sailing schedule between Geelong and Devonport will remain in place," he said.
"More cabins, recliners and vehicle spaces will be added over time as key project milestones are met.
"We will continue to share updates, key dates and supporting information so that our passengers can plan with confidence."
