The Orient Express Corinthian is the world’s largest sailing yacht — and the newest name in luxury yacht travel, having embarked on her maiden voyage in June 2026. Her inaugural Mediterranean season sails through summer 2026, before a transatlantic crossing takes her to the Caribbean for the winter. With just 54 suites for 110 guests, demand for these first sailings is exceptional — our Travel Designers can secure priority access to each season’s itineraries as they’re released.
Berkeley Travel is an Accor Preferred agency. Guests enjoy daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit per stay, priority room upgrades, and early check-in and late check-out where available — while still earning ALL – Accor Live Limitless points.

Details
Bringing the legacy of the iconic Orient Express to the world’s waters, Corinthian’s design evokes the golden age, while the vessel’s generous proportions offer a world of luxury for just 110 guests across its all-suite accommodation.
The suites include Signature Suites and Penthouse Suites, offering the refined luxury of a hotel with elegant touches, including marble bathrooms, separate dining and living areas, and expansive terraces complete with Jacuzzis. Many of the penthouse suites also take their names from legendary figures, including Agatha Christie and Zephyr.
Across the yacht, no detail has been spared in creating a vessel that is nothing short of exceptional, and the experiences are, as expected, equally impressive. Wellness is a lavish affair at Le Spa by Guerlain, spanning 5,000 sq ft of serene spaces and treatment rooms overlooking the sea, with a menu of Guerlain treatments alongside an onboard tepidarium.
Dining is equally exquisite, with eight restaurants and bars under the direction of the legendary Yannick Alléno, bringing his Michelin-starred flavours to life on board. At La Table de l’Orient-Express by Yannick Alléno, culinary masterpieces are served against a stunning backdrop adorned with moonlit glasswork.
Other experiences include La Perle, where gourmet delicacies are served in an intimate setting centred around a single table, while seafood takes centre stage at La Terrasse and L’Écrin, both influenced by global flavours.
Evenings are equally enjoyable on board, with entertainment that features a cabaret theatre, screenings in the private cinema, and gaming in the yacht’s dedicated gaming lounge.

Planning Your Voyage on the Orient Express Corinthian: Frequently Asked Questions
A brand-new ship brings brand-new questions. Our Travel Designers have answered the most common ones on Corinthian enquiries below — and are on hand to secure the sailing, suite and season that suit you best.
The Corinthian is the world’s largest sailing yacht — a 220-metre vessel that took Orient Express’s legendary art de vivre to sea for the first time in June 2026. With just 54 suites for 110 guests and more than 170 crew, she carries a Guerlain spa, eight dining venues and bars overseen by Yannick Alléno, a cabaret theatre, and the intimacy of a private yacht rather than a cruise ship.
Fares are all-inclusive and start from around €16,500 per suite for a three-night Caribbean sailing, with seven-night Mediterranean voyages from around €36,400. That covers all dining, premium drinks — the house champagne is Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame — butler service and entertainment. Book with Berkeley Travel and our Travel Designers will secure the best available suite and any added benefits for your sailing
Corinthian spends summer in the Mediterranean and winter in the Caribbean, with voyages of two to fourteen nights and a transatlantic crossing between seasons each autumn. Itineraries favour smaller, glamorous harbours over cruise ports — and because the ship is new, each season’s routes are released in waves, so it’s worth registering interest early for first choice of sailings
There are no cabins — every one of the 54 suites starts at 47 square metres with panoramic sea views, and categories rise to penthouses with terraces and Jacuzzis. All guests enjoy butler service, and with more crew than guests aboard, the service ratio exceeds most of the world’s great hotels. For truly private occasions, our Travel Designers can also arrange a full-ship buyout — the world’s largest sailing yacht, exclusively yours
Yes — for those who want the world’s largest sailing yacht entirely to themselves, our Travel Designers can arrange a full-ship buyout. With 54 suites for up to 110 guests, Corinthian lends itself to landmark birthdays, weddings at sea, and flagship corporate gatherings, with the itinerary, dining and entertainment shaped around your occasion. Exclusive-use sailings are limited each season, so early conversations are essential.
