More than 140 years after the launch of the world’s most opulent train journey, the Orient Express name is emblazoned on the world’s largest sailing yachts – Orient Express Corinthian and Orient Express Olympian.
Once aboard, lucky passengers can lounge among elegant French craftsmanship inspired by the legacy of the iconic trains. Artistic Director of Orient Express, Maxime d’Angeac, has reinterpreted the golden age of rail travel while echoing the grandeur of legendary ocean liners such as the SS Normandie, which was the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat when she entered service in 1935.
Orient Express Corinthian’s 54 suites range between 485 and 2,476 square feet, each framed by expansive picture windows and some offering spacious terraces for al-fresco downtime.Other highlights include a 115-seat cabaret, a state-of-the-art recording studio and two swimming pools.
Ahead of the Orient Express Corinthian’s inaugural sailing in June 2026, a series of exciting itineraries are available for potential passengers to peruse.Those first to experience the sparkly interiors are stepping aboard in Marseille on 6 June for a six-night adventure along the French Riviera, with stops in St Tropez and Cannes. Journeys along the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and the Adriatic Coast follow throughout the summer season.
