The Orient Express Corinthian, set to be launched in 2026 by Accor and Chantiers de l’Atlantique, will become the world’s largest sailing yacht, offering an exclusive experience in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
This 220-metre-long vessel blends luxury with sustainability, since it reduces emissions by using LNG and is also green hydrogen-ready. It also has onboard technologies like an AI-driven whale collision avoidance system.
The largest sailing cruise ship boasts 54 lavish suites to host around 110 guests, including a 1000-square-metre Presidential Suite.
