A new horizon for the luxury cruise
There was a time when journeys unfolded gradually, measured by changing landscapes and long horizons rather than schedules. Travel carried its own atmosphere, shaped as much by movement as by destination.

Orient Express Corinthian
Orient Express Corinthian: the sea, claimed
Orient Express Corinthian
Approaching a destination slowly changes the way it is perceived. By sea, arrival gains depth, extending the journey into the place itself. Summer belongs to the Mediterranean; winter returns to the Caribbean. Between well-known shores and quieter anchorages, time aboard our sailing yacht restores continuity to the journey—an approach that defines the Orient Express philosophy. Travel becomes a way of inhabiting the world rather than passing through it.
The meaning of full privatization
Private yachting traditionally offers access to a vessel, its crew and its itinerary. With Corinthian, full-ship privatization introduces another scale of experience: the possibility of inhabiting the yacht in its entirety. Fifty-four suites, conceived as private residences, become part of a single, shared domain.
When you choose to rent a luxury yacht of this magnitude, circulation changes. Spaces take on a residential character, and the distinction between guest and host gradually fades. Decks, salons and wellness areas adapt naturally to the rhythm of those on board, allowing a voyage in complete freedom. Privatizing Corinthian transforms the vessel into a world held briefly in suspension, an environment shaped entirely by oneʼs own circle.

Traditional charters often require months of extensive preparation, from defining the route to shaping every meal. With Corinthian, the experience is different. Conceived as a complete and sophisticated environment, this private yacht brings together haute gastronomy, cultural spaces and intuitive service within an already coherent whole.
Restaurants, lounges and onboard life exist in equilibrium, allowing the voyage to begin without the need for constant adjustment. Privatization transforms the yacht into a world of oneʼs own, combining the romantic freedom of sailing with the wind with the seamless continuity of a grand hotel at sea.

Why rent a luxury yacht of this scale? Some moments require a stage that matches their importance. Milestone anniversaries unfold differently beneath Mediterranean skies, while corporate gatherings take on a new perspective when held at sea, removed from familiar surroundings.
For a product launch or a cultural residency, the yacht provides a "sense of arrival" that land-based venues simply cannot replicate. In this private world, the itinerary and the onboard rhythm are adjusted around the nature of your event. The vessel becomes a floating residence, moving from one historic port to the next, mirroring the transformative journeys of our legendary trains.
When Corinthian is commissioned as a private yacht, routes become flexible. Supported by a dedicated onboard team, sailing itineraries adapt to favour quieter anchorages, lesser-known harbours and encounters rooted in local culture—from secluded coves along the Amalfi coast to sheltered Caribbean bays reached only by sea.
This is the future of maritime exclusivity. It is about doing everything with intention, within a world that has already been designed to move beautifully at sea. To rent a luxury yacht like Corinthian is to discover that the journey is defined as much by life on board as by the destinations reached.
A full charter consists of reserving an entire vessel for a single group, with its crew and the freedom to define its itinerary. On Orient Express Sailing Yachts, this means 54 suites for a maximum of 110 guests, with a crew of 170 dedicated to the group. The full charter of a sailing yacht of this scale offers the dimension of a floating residence, with all the common areas, restaurants, spa and marina exclusively reserved.
A luxury yacht charter is suited to a wide range of occasions: family celebrations spanning several days (milestone birthdays, weddings, multi-generational reunions), corporate events (conventions, incentive travel, leadership retreats), extended group gatherings, themed voyages built around a shared interest (gastronomy, art, sport, wellness), or cultural events.
Orient Express Sailing Yachts welcome up to 110 guests across the 54 suites. This limited capacity compared to a conventional cruise allows every guest to receive the same level of service regardless of the type of event or the number of attendees. Some suites can host up to four guests, which allows the configuration to be adapted to families and mixed groups.
Reserving several suites allows a group to travel together, but the vessel still hosts other passengers. A full charter locks the entire yacht for a single group: the common areas, restaurants, bars, spa and marina are reserved exclusively for the guests. The on-board programme, the service schedule and the itinerary can be adapted to the group's preferences, which is not possible on a shared cruise.
Orient Express has a dedicated Groups & Charters team that supports organisers in designing the voyage: itinerary, on-board programme, ashore experiences, event logistics. The request can be initiated on orient-express.com via this contact form, or through a specialist travel advisor. The concierge team works with organisers to adapt every stage of the journey to the group's objectives.
