A new legend is on the horizon. Orient Express is redefining the art of sailing with the introduction of Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing yacht. This extraordinary vessel, set to embark on its maiden voyage in June 2026, will chart an elegant course through the French and Italian Rivieras, offering an unparalleled voyage through the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas.
As anticipation builds for this groundbreaking maritime experience, reservations will officially open on March 25, 2025. Until then, travelers can immerse themselves in the vision of Orient Express Corinthian at orient-express.com/sailingyachts—a digital gateway to inspiration, discovery, and the promise of an unforgettable journey at sea.
Born from a partnership between Orient Express and Chantiers de l’Atlantique, a global leader in naval innovation, Orient Express Corinthian is a testament to French excellence, where technological ingenuity meets timeless sophistication.
At 220 meters (722 feet) in length, with three towering masts supporting an awe-inspiring 1,500 square meters (16,145 square feet) of rigid sails, this vessel is a marvel of modern craftsmanship. However, its significance extends beyond its size—it is a pioneering force in sustainable luxury travel.
Revolutionary Sailing: Pioneering a Sustainable Future
The Orient Express Corinthian is the first sailing yacht to integrate the innovative ‘SolidSail’ propulsion system. Featuring three tilting, rotating masts, this cutting-edge technology optimizes wind performance, reducing reliance on traditional marine fuels.
Complementing its wind-powered propulsion, the vessel is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). This combination significantly lowers emissions compared to conventional fuel-powered ships, marking a bold step toward more sustainable navigation.
Beyond its propulsion system, Orient Express Corinthian is built with eco-conscious innovation at its core:
AI-powered marine mammal detection system minimizes the risk of wildlife collisions.
Dynamic positioning technology eliminates the need for anchoring, preserving delicate seabeds.
Every design element is meticulously crafted to protect the ocean’s natural beauty.
As Orient Express ushers in a new era of sailing, Orient Express Corinthian invites travelers to experience the grandeur of the open sea, where luxury and sustainability converge.
