Set your cruise control with Port Phillip Ferries

PORT Phillip Ferries is offering a cruisey journey as an alternative to upcoming train line disruptions between Geelong and Melbourne later this month.

While there are no trains between Geelong and Melbourne between Tuesday April 16 to Sunday April 21, there’s also talk of widespread traindisruptions and delays in Melbourne throughout all of April.

But it’s not all bad news.

Sit back… relax… it’s time to catch your dose of “vitamin sea”.

Sailing between Portarlington and Docklands twice daily, Port Phillip Ferries offers a cruisey journey that includes a welcoming smile, fresh sea breeze and a morning coffee (or cheeky wine on the way home).

A trip to Melbourne on the ferry is the kind of travel you’ve only dreamed about.

It’s the perfect solution for all your city needs; your daily commute to work, a trip to Marvel or the MCG to watch your favourite football team or School Holiday adventures.

Expect all the creature comforts on board; there’s seating for 400, with comfortable indoor seating and two outdoor decks, free Wi-Fi, charging stations, tables and drop-down trays – not to mention an on-board licensed café.

The ferry is easily accessible for all via boarding ramps, and comfortably facilitates wheelchairs, motorised mobility scooters and prams.

All are welcome to make use of the free onboard bike racks, too.

Better still? There’s plenty of free parking at Portarlington and getting to where you need to be from the ferry terminal is simple.

Jump off the ferry and straight onto the no. 35, 70 and 75 free trams at Docklands – or take a short walk to Southern Cross to catch a train.

Port Phillip Ferries really is changing the game for commuters and visitors who need to access Melbourne.

One cruise and you’re guaranteed to be converted.
