Orient Express Corinthian

The largest sailing yacht in the world — 220 metres, five Yannick Alléno restaurants, wind-powered when the wind allows.

Christened on April 29 in Saint-Nazaire with the French Minister for the Sea in attendance, the Corinthian cast off on May 2 for its first Mediterranean season. This is not another floating five-star. It is the first cruise ship fitted with Chantiers de l'Atlantique's SolidSail system — three automated masts capable of running the ship at 100% wind propulsion. French marine engineering at its best, and the most ambitious thing anyone has launched in cruising in twenty years.

For clients who want an alternative to a shared superyacht without the operational drag of owning one, Corinthian fills a real gap: Yannick Alléno's kitchen at sea, a Mediterranean and Adriatic itinerary through October, then a transatlantic and the Caribbean for the winter. The product that was missing between the conventional cruise line and the private yacht — with the imprimatur of Accor, Orient Express and the most decorated chef in France.
