Orient Express Corinthian Unveils Ultra-Luxury Caribbean Sailing Adventures for 2026

The legendary Orient Express is setting a new standard in ocean travel with the Corinthian, officially the world’s tallest and largest sailing ship. Launching its inaugural Caribbean season in October 2026, this eco-conscious superyacht invites travellers to step aboard for a journey marked by refined comfort, curated experiences, and sustainable innovation. Reservations are already open for those eager to explore dream destinations on a vessel redefining the art of cruising.

Exquisite Itineraries and Dream Destinations

The season leads off with a transformative 14-night transatlantic crossing, departing Lisbon for Barbados on October 12, 2026—a wellness-focused voyage into the tropics. Thereafter, from October to March, the Corinthian will offer a range of escapes from two to nine nights, visiting a tapestry of Caribbean icons: the chic sands of St. Barths, hidden cays among the Grenadines, the emerald lagoons of the Exumas, and the untamed coral kingdoms of Tobago Cays. The ship unlocks access to secret coves, crystalline bays, and secluded islands—all revealed at a languid, enchanting pace under the steady trade winds.

Each port-of-call is an invitation to experience spectacular beaches, savour local gastronomy crafted by multi-starred chef Yannick Alléno, or embark on guided explorations of unspoiled nature. The curated events onboard and ashore are designed to exceed every expectation, pairing luminous discoveries with epicurean delight and authentic island encounters.

Aboard: Elegance, Innovation, and True Refinement

Designed by architect Maxime d’Angeac, the Corinthian’s interiors draw on the golden age of rail and classic ocean liners, adapted for modern luxury. With only 54 suites, each boasting sweeping ocean views and raised ceilings, accommodating up to 110 guests, this vessel ensures exclusivity and spacious grandeur rarely seen at sea. Suites range from 45 to a sprawling 230 square meters, showcasing the best of French craftsmanship.

Guests dine in five restaurants, including private venues overseen by Chef Yannick Alléno, while a cabaret, recording studio, two swimming pools, and beach-side marina add to the sense of endless possibility. Whether relaxing in the ship’s sophisticated lounges or joining an evening at the cabaret, every aspect of life onboard seeks to surprise and delight.

Responsible Sailing Meets Legendary Service

Beyond luxury, the Corinthian embodies the future of responsible sea travel, leveraging cutting-edge technology for sustainable operations. It boasts three pioneering “SolidSail” masts that deliver exceptional performance under sail, as well as eco-friendly LNG propulsion backup. The focus on sustainability allows guests to experience the Caribbean’s natural wonders with minimal impact.

Backed by a crew renowned for legendary Orient Express service, the Corinthian promises an odyssey where refinement, discovery, and conscious travel converge.

The Orient Express Corinthian is redefining the art of ocean travel—this winter, the Caribbean is its stage. Secure your passage and prepare for a new era of luxury sailing where wonder, comfort, and sustainability meet.
