The Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest luxury sailing yacht, has joined Traveller Made’s Afloat Collection, expanding it to 55 ultra-high-end vessels. Set to launch Mediterranean and Adriatic itineraries in summer 2026, the 220-metre ship operated by Accor emphasizes sustainable sailing, bespoke luxury, and Orient Express heritage.
Traveller Made, a network of bespoke travel advisors, has added the Orient Express Corinthian to its Afloat Collection, growing it to 55 curated ships amid rising demand for personalized high-end cruises. Built by Chantiers de l’Atlantique on the Silenseas platform with SolidSail technology for wind-powered efficiency, the 220-metre yacht features three towering rigs and reduces fuel reliance for minimal environmental impact.
All 54 suites offer panoramic views, expansive windows or terraces, high ceilings, and blurred indoor-outdoor spaces, with interiors by French architect Maxime d’Angeac using lacquered woods, jewel tones, Belle Époque-inspired art, and global cultural motifs crafted by French artisans.
Launching in May/June 2026 for May-October operations, it will offer 27 itineraries from two-night escapes to 14-day journeys across the Mediterranean and Adriatic, including Côte d’Azur, Italian Riviera, Corsica, Sicily, and Amalfi Coast, prioritizing favorable winds, unhurried ports, and access to smaller harbors. After 2026, it plans a transatlantic crossing to the Caribbean before returning in 2027.
Culinary highlights include five restaurants and private dining led by multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. Experiences blend coastal exploration, cultural programming, bespoke excursions, and high-touch service for couples, families, and groups.
Diana Nuber, Traveller Made’s Commercial Director, highlighted strong demand at the Essence of Phuket event, distinguishing curated cruises from charters and noting synergies with concepts like Aman At Sea. Bookings target Europe, North America, and emerging markets via Serandipians and Takumians networks, positioning the yacht as a benchmark in luxury ocean travel.
