Orient Express Corinthian, the world's largest sailing yacht was named on April 29th, 2026 in Saint-Nazaire. Flying the French flag, this 220-metre vessel heralds a new era of travel, uniting French decorative craftsmanship with cutting-edge naval innovation. Born of the collaboration between Orient Express, the most luxurious brand of the Accor ecosystem, and Chantiers de l'Atlantique, a world reference in naval engineering, this 15,000-tonne, 720-foot vessel brings together the French art de vivre and the most advanced shipbuilding of the age. She is the first cruise ship equipped with the SolidSail wind propulsion system, developed by Chantiers de l'Atlantique.  Following her departure from Saint-Nazaire on May 2nd, the ship will make for the French Riviera before beginning her inaugural season. From May to October 2026, Orient Express Corinthian will sail the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, before crossing the Atlantic in autumn to winter in the Caribbean. In 2027, a new collection of itineraries extends her range to the eastern Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Discover more on https://lnkd.in/evU_4nZM
