Orient Express Sailing Yachts
Why Orient Express Sailing Yachts?
Orient Express Sailing Yachts is one of the most anticipated launches in luxury travel. The inaugural vessel, Orient Express Corinthian, set sail in May 2026 as the world's largest sailing yacht at 220 meters (721 feet), carrying just 110 guests across 54 all-suite accommodations. This is not a cruise ship with sails. It is a floating palace, rooted in 140 years of Orient Express heritage and brought to life by the finest French craftsmanship.
Built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique and designed by architect Maxime D'Angeac, the Corinthian's three patented solid sails, each spanning 1,500 square meters of carbon fiber-reinforced glass panels, give the ship its unmistakable silhouette. Every suite has panoramic sea views. Every meal is curated by multi-starred Michelin chef Yannick Alléno. Every voyage traces the world's most storied coastlines.
Best for: Travelers who want the intimacy of a private yacht combined with the cultural richness of a grand European hotel. Couples, design enthusiasts, and guests who have experienced everything and want something genuinely new.
Where Orient Express Corinthian Sails
Orient Express Corinthian sails three regions on voyages of two to seven nights.
Mediterranean: The Adriatic, Amalfi Coast, French Riviera, and Greek Isles. Ports include Portofino, Capri, and Dubrovnik.
Caribbean: The British Virgin Islands, St. Barths, Antigua, and the Grenadines.
Transatlantic: Lisbon and the Azores to the Caribbean across the open Atlantic.
The inaugural season launched in May 2026. Caribbean voyages begin January 2027. With just 110 guests aboard, availability is limited.
Suite Categories on Orient Express Corinthian
Orient Express Corinthian offers 54 all-suite accommodations across two tiers. Every suite has panoramic sea views, a private terrace, and fully all-inclusive service.
Signature Suites range from 463 to 1,324 square feet and include several distinct styles: the Suite Panoramique (506 sq ft with soaring ceilings and marble finishes), the Suite Terrasse (463 sq ft plus a private terrace at the bow), the Appartement (up to 840 sq ft with private dining and a soaking tub), and the Suite Duplex (1,324 sq ft across two levels with a sweeping staircase). Each is designed as a unique space, not a standard cabin category.
Penthouse Suites are the crown of the Corinthian. All are named for the winds of the Mediterranean and include private jacuzzi terraces. Highlights include the Mistral (786 sq ft, ideal for couples), the Meltem (1,916 sq ft, two bedrooms with private dining), and the Agatha Christie (2,422 sq ft, two bedrooms, a fitness room, and a 1,938 sq ft terrace with jacuzzi). The Zephyr Penthouse at 2,486 sq ft is the largest suite aboard.

Dining, Wellness, and Onboard Experience
Dining aboard the Corinthian is curated by multi-starred Michelin chef Yannick Alléno. The headline restaurant, La Table de l'Orient-Express, is the finest at-sea expression of his cooking. Le Wagon Bar pays homage to Orient Express heritage with velvet banquettes and Lalique lamps. Le Speakeasy and L'Ecrin round out an intimate selection of venues - each distinct, none generic.
Wellness is anchored by Le SPA by Guerlain, with private treatment rooms and a tepidarium. Beyond the spa: a 54-foot lap pool, a fitness studio and yoga room with open ocean views, a 20-seat cinema, and a marina for water sports. Evenings end at Le Théâtre, inspired by the great Parisian cabarets.
