Orient Express Corinthian was christened in Saint-Nazaire on 29 April 2026. At 220 metres, with three solid sails, it's the world's largest sailing yacht, and its interiors bring back the art-deco glamour of the legendary trains.
Multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno oversees the dining, from the signature La Table de l’Orient Express to a single-table restaurant with menus made to your taste. The bars range from a tribute to the train’s Wagon Bar to a hidden 1920s-style speakeasy.
Over 170 crew look after at most 110 guests, and every suite has sea views and butler service. The six suites on Deck 7 can even be combined into a private Penthouse for up to 22 guests.
The three rigid sails, each on a mast over 100 metres tall, can drive the yacht entirely by wind in good conditions, with LNG-electric power taking over when needed, and it’s engineered to stay level rather than heel. Sensors even detect marine life below the surface so the yacht can steer clear.
Beyond the restaurants, there’s Le Spa by Guerlain, a lap pool beneath the masts, a theatre, a cinema fitted with the original armchairs of the Orient Express train, a recording studio and a library of 1,500 books. At anchor, a vast marina unfolds at the stern for windsurfing, wing foiling, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling.
