The superyacht world is no stranger to excess, but even in this world of luxury, the Orient Express Corinthian is set to be a game-changer. Forget your 466-foot Dragonfly or the 640-foot REV Ocean — at 721 feet, this yacht will claim the title of the world’s longest sailing vessel.
The superyacht is going to launch in June 2026 and isn’t just another oversized luxury toy. It’s a carefully made blend of old-world sophistication and cutting-edge innovation. Orient Express Corinthian promises to elevate seafaring to an entirely new stratosphere. Whether gliding through the Mediterranean, Adriatic, or Caribbean, this yacht is designed to deliver a sailing experience unlike anything before it.
A Fusion of Elegance and Innovation
Orient Express Corinthian was developed by Chantiers de l’Atlantique in collaboration with Accor Group and Silenseas, and has extended the luxury of the Orient Express brand from the rails to the high seas. Under the creative vision of designer Maxime d’Angeac, the yacht mixes classic elegance with state-of-the-art maritime engineering.
Its sophisticated hull has 13 steel blocks and three balestron blocks and it supports 4,500 m² of sails on three massive 100-meter tilting masts. This revolutionary SolidSail technology, that has been developed over a decade, enables the vessel to achieve wind-powered speeds of up to 17 knots, surpassing its engine-powered cruising speed.
Luxury Reimagined at Sea
Orient Express Corinthian is perfect for those used to the finer things in life. It has 54 ultra-luxurious suites that offer panoramic ocean views. There are also six penthouse suites on Deck 7 that set a new benchmark in maritime living. The yacht spares no expense in amenities either. It has five gourmet restaurants, eight stylish bars and lounges, an amphitheatre, a professional recording studio, and a state-of-the-art spa and wellness centre, all ensuring that indulgence is never more than a few steps away.
But what truly sets Orient Express Corinthian apart is its commitment to sustainable sailing. The yacht has a hybrid propulsion system that combines wind power with a cutting-edge liquefied natural gas (LNG) powerplant. This significantly lowers its environmental impact. AI-driven marine mammal detection systems, advanced noise reduction technology, and dynamic positioning capabilities further eliminate the need for traditional anchoring, preserving delicate marine ecosystems.
Also, each journey will be designed to take full advantage of natural wind currents so both performance and sustainability can be maximized. This dedication to eco-consciousness makes Orient Express Corinthian not just a superyacht but also a vision of the future that proves sustainability and luxury can coexist without compromise.
