Luxury British Indian Ocean Territory Voyages

A near-perfect ring of coral at the very edge of the Pitcairn group, uninhabited Ducie is one of the least-visited atolls on the planet. Its glassy turquoise lagoon and rubble islets shelter tens of thousands of seabirds, including the world's largest colony of Murphy's petrel, while species found nowhere else patrol the reef. Only a small yacht carrying her own tenders can pause here at all, gifting you a raw wilderness that few living souls will ever witness.

Home to just a few dozen souls, every one descended from the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions, Pitcairn is Britain's remotest inhabited outpost. Dive on the Bounty's anchor and cannon in Bounty Bay, share a table with families whose surnames trace straight back to 1790, and hike to Christian's Cave, where Fletcher himself once brooded over the horizon. Landing depends on the swell and a longboat, an arrival earned rather than merely booked.
