Company Description

Artisan of travel since 1883, Orient Express sublimates the art of travel with its luxury trains, hotels, and sailing yachts.

The experience continues with the recent launch of La Dolce Vita Orient Express train, followed by Orient Express Corinthian in 2026, the first of two Orient Express Sailing Yachts, and finally, the return of L’Orient Express train to railways.

In 2024, Accor and LVMH entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of Orient Express. Follow the journey at @orient express on Instagram or visit the website at

140 years after the launch of its first luxury trains, the Orient Express legend continues with the launch of the world's largest sailing ships, Orient Express Corinthian. A revolution in maritime history, and a fabulous project that pushes back the limits of what is possible. The result of a unique French partnership between Accor, the world leader in hospitality, and Chantiersdel'Atlantique, the world's leading cruise ship builder.

This extraordinary sailing ship of the future, with its spectacular interiors, will set sail in 2026.
