Orient Express Sailing Yachts has announced the opening of reservations for Orient Express Corinthian, scheduled to commence operations in the summer of 2026.
The vessel is currently under construction at Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire (France).
During her inaugural season (May to October 2026), OE Corinthian will operate itineraries across the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. Voyages will range from two to eight nights, with options to extend sailings into longer journeys. Ports of call include Monte Carlo, Portofino, and Saint-Tropez, along with visits to Portoferraio, historically linked to Napoleon; Saint-Florent, a Corsican port surrounded by the maquis; and Lerici, located within the Gulf of La Spezia, historically known as the “Gulf of Poets.”
The vessel features 54 suites, ranging in size from 485 to 2475 ft2 (45-230 m2). Interior spaces, designed by Maxime d’Angeac, incorporate contemporary interpretations of early 20th-century maritime aesthetics. Culinary offerings will be overseen by Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno, with multiple dining venues, bars, and lounges, including an Art Deco-style speakeasy. Onboard amenities include a 115-seat cabaret and recording studio, two pools, and a marina.
Select itineraries will feature curated shore excursions, such as private access to archaeological sites in Pompeii, an exclusive tour and dining experience at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, and the opportunity to drive a race car on the Circuit Paul Ricard in France.
