Pitcairn Island Access Soars With New Shipping Schedule Through To April 2025

31 August 2023

Pitcairn Islands Tourism has today announced the most significant increase ever in passenger services to Pitcairn Island with an extension of the shipping schedule to April 2025.

From April 2024, Pitcairn's supply ship, MV Silver Supporter, will operate 29 return passenger services between Mangareva, French Polynesia and Pitcairn Island through to April 2025. Representing an increase of more than 25% over the previous year.

Voyages are timed to directly connect with the weekly Tuesday, Air Tahiti, flight from French Polynesia’s gateway island Tahiti and Mangareva.

Pitcairn Islands Tourism Travel Coordinator, Heather Menzies, says “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 March 2022. This improved access will ensure more visitors are able to experience legendary Pitcairn Island.
