NEW opportunities to visit the Pacific’s remote Pitcairn Islands have opened up with the release of the destination’s new shipping schedule through to Apr 2025.
Described as “the most significant increase ever in passenger services”, the update will see Pitcairn’s supply ship, Silver Supporter (pictured) operate 29 return passenger services between Mangareva in French Polynesia and the Pitcairns over the 12 month period from Apr 2024.
Departures are timed to directly connect with the weekly Air Tahiti domestic flight which operates to Mangareva each Tue.
Pitcairn Islands Tourism Travel Coordinator Heather Menzies said “even though we are one of the most remote tourism destinations on earth, we have experienced unprecedented growth in demand since reopening our border to visitors in Mar 2022.
“This improved access will ensure more visitors are able to experience legendary Pitcairn Island,” she added.
Silver Supporter’s weekly schedule allows for a day at sea in each direction, experiencing one of the world’s largest marine reserves, along with four days on Pitcairn enveloped by the “Mata ki te Rangi – Eyes to the Sky” International Dark Sky Sanctuary alongside Pitcairn’s fascinating living history.
The ship carries a maximum of 12 passengers in five twin-share and two solo cabins, and offers free wi-fi, two comfortable lounges and daily buffet dining and snacks. BP
