🌊 A New Era for Sustainable Luxury Sailing
On May 3, 2026, Saint-Nazaire witnessed a maritime milestone: the christening of the Orient Express Corinthian. Spanning 220 meters, this vessel is officially the world’s largest sailing yacht. It represents a fusion of historic prestige and cutting-edge environmental technology.
The SolidSail Revolution
At the heart of the ship lies the ‘SolidSail’ propulsion system. Three automated 1,500 m² rigs allow the vessel to harness wind power efficiently. During February 2026 sea trials, the yacht achieved a steady 12 knots in 20 knots of wind, confirming its performance capabilities.
Onboard Excellence
Beyond its green credentials, the Corinthian offers unparalleled luxury:
- Gastronomy: Five restaurants curated by Yannick Alléno.
- Accommodations: 54 suites ranging from 45 to 230 m².
- Amenities: Eight bars, a Guerlain spa, and a private marina.
