| Pitcairns are back

REGULAR passenger service to the Pitcairn Islands is resuming today after a two-year hiatus.

The Pitcairns, which remained COVID free, will resume the regular passenger link with French Polynesia.

The island group’s supply ship Silver Supporter will recommence the regular 32-hour passenger service from Mangareva, which is scheduled to operate 11 round-trips through to Feb.

Voyages are timed to directly connect with the weekly Tue flight from French Polynesia’s gateway island of Tahiti.

“All current community residents are fully vaccinated and we’re very much looking forward to safely welcoming visitors back to our shores,” said Pitcairn Islands Tourism Coordinator Heather Menzies.
