The luxury brand announced earlier this year that its first yacht, Orient Express Corinthian, would be heading to Europe and the Mediterranean in March 2026 to begin its inaugural season.
The vessel will now be joined in 2027 by sister ship, Orient Express Olympian, for sailings around the UK, northern Europe and eastern Mediterranean.
The itineraries for both ships include voyages from Piraeus to Istanbul, taking guests across the Aegean Sea to visit the Cyclades, Mykonos and the Sporades before ending in Turkey’s largest city.
There’s also a sailing from Valletta to Piraeus, which crosses the Strait of Otranto and stops in Corfu and Cephalonia.
Other itineraries include London to Honfleur, which follows the south coast of England to Torquay and Cowes, and London to Copenhagen, which takes guests to Edinburgh and Oslofjord via the North Sea before finishing in the Danish capital.
Both Corinthian and Olympian contain 54 suites, 48 of which are located on decks 4, 5 and 6. Six premium class suites, also known as the Penthouse Suites, are situated on the seventh deck.
All cabins offer panoramic views, creating “cocoons opening onto the sea.” The expansive ocean vistas are complemented by the cosy interiors, which feature plenty of wood, leather, and marble. Jacuzzis and sun beds are also available in some staterooms.
As a homage to the Orient Express legend, two original cabins from the famous Nostalgie-Istanbul-Orient-Express have also been installed on board.
Each yacht will also have two pools (including a lap pool), a spa with a hammam, two gourmet restaurants, a speakeasy bar and an amphitheatre.
All routes aim to decrease environmental impact with revolutionary SolidSail technology: three rigid sails of 1,500 m² each, mounted on tilting masts rising over 100 metres high, enabling up to 100% sail propulsion in favourable wind conditions.
