THE CURATED EDITION.
Reportage /
A 54-suite sailing yacht brings the brand’s historical travel identity into Mediterranean voyages and a new onboard setting.
TRAVEL
Orient Express extends its travel identity from the railway to the sea with Corinthian, a sailing yacht built around 54 suites. The project places the journey between destinations alongside the accommodation, translating the brand’s historical association with travel into a maritime setting.
The suites carry that connection through interiors that refer to the elegance of the earlier travel era without simply reproducing a train compartment. On board, Yannick Alléno leads the culinary programme, while a Guerlain spa, a cinema and two pools broaden the time spent at sea.
Mediterranean itineraries give the yacht its geographical context. The precise port sequence and departure dates should be read in the current sailing programme rather than assumed from an early announcement. The route is part of the experience, with the hours under way as significant as the arrival at a well-known harbour.
Corinthian’s appeal is the meeting of those elements: an established name in travel, a suite-based sailing vessel and a programme designed to make the passage itself a substantial part of the stay.
