A Grand Entry in the World of Superyachts

The Orient Corinthian Express is not just poised to break records—it’s redefining what superlative luxury at sea truly means. Stretching a formidable 721 feet (220 meters) in length and set to launch in 2026, this maritime giant balances elegance and ambition with ease. The exterior design embraces sleek, modern lines fused with a dash of heritage-inspired nostalgia—think Art Deco grandeur meets futuristic innovation. Its towering profile and expansive deck spaces mark it as an instant icon, setting a new bar for seafaring opulence.

A Palace Afloat

Inside, every square inch has been meticulously appointed. Expect ceiling-high windows and panoramic lounges dressed in sumptuous materials that wouldn’t look out of place in a world-class boutique hotel. Lavish suites pair old-world sophistication—plush velvets, artisanal woodwork, vintage lighting—with contemporary comfort and high-tech amenities. A private cinema, a multi-level spa complex, and gourmet dining helmed by Michelin-starred chefs all reinforce the notion that you’ve stepped into a floating five-star resort.

Performance & Innovation

Beyond surface-level glamour, the Orient Corinthian Express also pioneers a new age of responsible cruising. Advanced propulsion systems integrate hybrid technologies, harnessing wind power where possible to cut emissions without compromising speed or maneuverability. The deck layout cleverly marries form and function, offering breezy lounging areas, hidden hot tubs, and multiple vantage points to soak in horizon-wide views. Quite simply, it’s engineered to impress—from the high-tech navigation bridge down to the super-silent engine rooms.

The Legacy of the Orient Name

Orient Express has always been synonymous with elegance and high adventure on land; now, the Orient Corinthian Express brings that fabled reputation to open waters. Delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this record-smashing vessel offers an invitation to explore the oceans in unparalleled style. Whether you’re indulging in fine dining, hosting star-studded soirées on the aft deck, or simply gazing out at the wide blue expanse from your private suite, you’ll experience the pinnacle of seafaring luxury.

In short, the Orient Corinthian Express stands ready to claim its place as a legend among superyachts, a statement of timeless grace and boundary-pushing innovation that will inspire awe long before it even leaves the shipyard.
