Spirit of Hobart | Historic Hobart to New Norfolk Derwent River Cruise, Tasmania

Join us for a spectacular full-day cruise from Hobart to New Norfolk, travelling deep into Tasmania’s beautiful Derwent Valley aboard the Spirit of Hobart. This historic journey follows the River Derwent from Hobart’s waterfront to New Norfolk, passing some of southern Tasmania’s most recognisable landmarks — the Tasman Bridge, Bowen Bridge, MONA, Cadbury at Claremont, the new Bridgewater Bridge, riverside vineyards, wetlands, towering rocky cliffs and the peaceful rural landscapes of the Derwent Valley. The journey has particular significance in 2026. Following the removal of the old Bridgewater Bridge, vessels can once again travel unobstructed between Hobart and New Norfolk for the first time since 1946. Our full-day journey aboard the distinctive red Spirit of Hobart includes morning tea and lunch onboard, spectacular reflections on the river, abundant birdlife and time ashore to explore historic New Norfolk. From Hobart’s busy harbour to the narrow, tranquil upper reaches of the Derwent, this is a side of Tasmania that few visitors experience from the water. If you enjoy Tasmania travel, scenic cruises, historic places and discovering Hobart and its surroundings, come along for the entire journey. 📍 Route: Hobart → River Derwent → New Norfolk → Hobart 🚢 Vessel: Spirit of Hobart 🌏 Location: Tasmania, Australia 🎥 Filmed: September 2026 Subscribe to Hobart in Motion for more journeys through Hobart and Tasmania. #Hobart #NewNorfolk #DerwentRiver #Tasmania #HobartTasmania #DiscoverTasmania #DerwentValley #RiverCruise #TasmaniaTravel #SpiritOfHobart #HobartInMotion
