Welcome to Orient Express Sailing Yachts

140 Years of Orient Express Heritage,
Now at Sea

Orient Express Corinthian marks the storied brand’s first venture into ultra-luxury sailing — a 721-foot yacht carrying just 110 guests across 54 suites, propelled in part by three patented “SolidSail” masts built for wind-assisted travel. Interiors channel the golden age of rail and ocean travel, with Michelin-starred dining curated by chef Yannick Alléno.

A sister yacht, Orient Express Olympian, is already underway to follow. As an official Orient Express Yachts partner, we unlock benefits reserved specifically for preferred travel advisors — personalized upgrades, onboard credit, and concierge-level planning you won’t get booking direct.

Is This the Right Fit?

Who Orient Express Yachts Is Best For

Choose Orient Express Yachts If…

  • You want design and heritage as central to the experience as the itinerary
  • You’re drawn to the romance of the Orient Express name and legacy
  • You appreciate Michelin-caliber dining as a defining feature, not an add-on
  • You want a genuinely intimate ship — just 110 guests at capacity
  • You’re planning a milestone trip that benefits from a striking, conversation-starting vessel

Consider Another Line If…

  • You want a larger, more established fleet with more sailing dates
  • You need destinations beyond the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Transatlantic routes currently offered
  • You’re not drawn to the design-forward, heritage-led positioning
Worth knowing before you book: with only 95 suites fleet-wide, the most desirable accommodations often sell out more than a year in advance, and most shore excursions are optional add-ons rather than included in the fare.
