For more than a century, Orient Express has represented the romance of travel. The gentle rhythm of a train journey, the glamour of another era, and the idea that the journey itself can be every bit as memorable as the destination. Now, the legendary brand is embarking on a new chapter at sea. With the launch of Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing yacht, Orient Express extends its vision of travel beyond the rails and into the Mediterranean, reimagining grand voyages for a new generation. The 220-metre vessel accommodates just 54 suites, combining the intimacy of a private yacht with the elegance and craftsmanship long associated with the brand.
Designed as a floating sanctuary, the yacht reflects the same attention to detail that made Orient Express iconic. French craftsmanship, contemporary design, panoramic sea views, and a slower approach to travel define the experience onboard. Powered in part by an innovative sailing system, the vessel also signals a growing commitment to more sustainable forms of luxury travel.
The maiden voyages begin in the Mediterranean, sailing between destinations such as the French Riviera, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, and the Adriatic. More than an itinerary, the experience celebrates a return to the art of the journey itself; one measured not by speed, but by atmosphere, discovery, and the changing horizon beyond the deck. And Orient Express reminds us that luxury may simply be the ability to travel more slowly.
