Overview
- Orient Express Corinthian left the Chantiers de l’Atlantique yard in Saint‑Nazaire for the French Riviera after a formal christening.
- The inaugural season runs through the Mediterranean and Adriatic before an Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean for fall and winter.
- The yacht uses SolidSail, a set of rigid sails on three 100‑meter masts that rotate to catch wind and tilt to clear bridges, which cuts fuel use.
- Sea trials showed 12 knots under wind alone in moderate breezes, with LNG‑powered engines available when extra power is needed.
- Built for high‑end stays, the 54‑suite ship hosts about 110–130 guests with 170 crew, features dining by chef Yannick Alléno, a Guerlain spa, and offers suites starting at €17,770 for two for three nights, while sister ship Olympian is slated for 2027.
