Corinthian

The Orient Express Corinthian, scheduled for its maiden voyage in June 2026, represents the legendary Orient Express brand's foray into ultra-luxury cruising. This groundbreaking vessel is poised to become the world's largest sailing yacht, a giga-yacht measuring approximately 722 feet in length. It is a fusion of classic elegance and cutting-edge sustainable technology, featuring three towering, 328-foot (100-meter) high masts fitted with revolutionary "SolidSail" technology. These rigid sails, each with a surface area of 1,500 square meters, enable the ship to achieve up to 100% propulsion under optimal wind conditions, supported by a hybrid LNG-powered engine system capable of eventually running on green hydrogen, thereby significantly reducing its environmental impact. 

The ship is designed for exclusivity and refinement, accommodating only 110-130 guests in 54 spacious suites, each ranging from 485 to over 2,400 square feet. Interiors, designed by architect Maxime d'Angeac, reinterpret the golden age of rail travel with a contemporary French sensibility, featuring bespoke furnishings, marble, and expansive bay windows that offer panoramic sea views. Onboard amenities are extensive, including five restaurants curated by multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno, eight bars (including a 1930s-style speakeasy), two pools (including a 54-foot lap pool), a spa, a cinema, and a Parisian-style cabaret theater. The Orient Express Corinthian will offer immersive itineraries in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, appealing to travelers who seek an unparalleled blend of adventure, sustainable travel, and the highest standards of luxury and refined living at sea.
