Orient Express just unveiled the design of its first yacht and the world’s largest sailing yacht, Orient Express Corinthian. Set to hit the waves in summer 2026, this yacht will sail across the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Caribbean.

Orient Express Corinthian spans 220 meters and offers 54 suites, with each promising total intimacy and privacy. Of these suites, six feature panoramic bay windows. All suites have been designed as cocoons opening onto the sea, decorated with wood, leather and marble fashioned by talented craftsmen and women.

Five elegant restaurants grace the ship, and eight bars provide plenty of choices for a tasty tipple. Bars include a 1930s-style speakeasy and 115-seat cabaret with a Parisian atmosphere, while a cinema and spa also await passengers for an unforgettable, luxurious experience at sea.

“All the suites and the entire design of the yacht have been conceived as unique spaces that break the boundaries of Orient Express’s classic decorative grammar while remaining true to its very particular codes,” said Maxime d’Angeac, artistic director, Orient Express. “A contemporary vision of Orient Express, that of an era in which high quality is synonymous with excellence and calls for a real aesthetic revolution.”
