The legendary name of Orient Express takes to the sea as Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing yacht, has officially opened for reservations.
Due to set sail in summer 2026, this ground-breaking vessel promises an unparalleled blend of wind-powered adventure and timeless luxury, offering an exclusive Mediterranean experience across 35 iconic and hidden ports from May through October.
With a design guided by the wind and a commitment to sustainable travel, Orient Express Corinthian will offer voyages of two to eight nights – or longer itineraries by combining sailings – charting a course through the Adriatic and Mediterranean.
Guests will discover celebrated destinations such as Monte-Carlo, Saint-Tropez and Portofino, along with lesser-known gems including Saint-Florent, Portoferraio, and Lerici.
The yacht’s itinerary is built around the cultural and seasonal highlights of the region.
From the glamour of the Monaco Yacht Show and the iconic sails of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, to the vibrant energy of the Venice Biennale, Orient Express Corinthian delivers travellers to the heart of the Mediterranean’s most memorable moments.
A new standard of luxury at sea
Carrying only 54 lavish suites – ranging from 45 to a staggering 230 square metres – Orient Express Corinthian sets a new benchmark for spaciousness and elegance at sea.
Designed by Artistic Director Maxime d’Angeac, the interiors evoke the golden age of travel with a refined, modern aesthetic, inspired by the brand’s legendary rail heritage.
An all-inclusive philosophy ensures seamless experiences onboard, with thoughtful service and curated activities.
Guests will be treated to gourmet cuisine by acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno, multiple dining venues, lounges, an intimate Art Deco-inspired speakeasy, two swimming pools, and even a marina.
Cultural enrichment is at the heart of the journey.
Experiences include private access to archaeological marvels in Pompeii, exclusive museum events such as a dinner atop Venice’s Peggy Guggenheim Museum, and adrenaline-fueled excursions like driving a race car on France’s famed Circuit Paul Ricard.
With a 115-seat cabaret, state-of-the-art recording studio, and handpicked itineraries tailored for discovery and indulgence, Orient Express Corinthian promises more than a voyage – it delivers an unforgettable chapter in the story of luxury travel.
Guests can visit the Orient Express website to learn more about making a booking.
