REQUEST VIP coordinates Orient Express Corinthian around an operating voyage, named suite and workable port plan. The 220-metre sailing yacht began service in May 2026, so current content should no longer call it a future launch. We verify live availability, the meaning of fully inclusive, payment terms and surrounding travel before commitment.

Key Facts

  • Orient Express Corinthian began sailing in May 2026 and currently operates Mediterranean, transatlantic and Caribbean programmes.
  • The vessel has 54 suites for a published maximum of 110 guests, with suite sizes and layouts varying substantially.
  • Voyages currently range from two to 14 nights depending on region, and each date has specific embarkation and disembarkation ports.
  • Full-yacht privatisation is presented separately from scheduled suite bookings and needs a dedicated charter agreement.

Orient Express Corinthian Concierge Booking

Begin with the actual departure, not a region alone. A Riviera voyage can last two nights or form part of a longer itinerary; Mediterranean, Caribbean and transatlantic programmes have different sea days, ports and flight requirements. REQUEST VIP confirms dates, vessel, terminal, check-in deadline, passport and visa needs, then compares the sailing through the luxury cruise concierge.

The operator controls navigation and may change a port for safety, weather or local restrictions. Rigid SolidSail technology allows wind-assisted operation when conditions permit, but no itinerary should promise that the yacht will travel exclusively under sail. Technical design is not a guarantee of sea state or call sequence.

Choosing among 54 suites

All suites offer sea views, while category, deck, size and layout differ. Official material describes a wide range from entry suites to multi-room penthouses, including two-bedroom options with private outdoor features at the top end. REQUEST VIP records registered guests, bedroom separation, mobility, bath access, terrace preference and sea sensitivity before confirming the category and number.

A maximum of 110 guests across 54 suites does not mean every suite accepts two people or an extra child. Connecting options, cots, additional beds and accessible layouts need written confirmation. Butler service is published, but coverage, unpacking, private dining and other individual requests remain subject to the selected fare and onboard operation.

Fully inclusive scope and life aboard

Orient Express describes Corinthian as fully inclusive and publishes multiple restaurants, bars, entertainment, marina and Guerlain spa facilities. REQUEST VIP still obtains the fare definition: premium beverages, spa treatments, shore experiences, private dining, transfers, communications and gratuities can have exclusions. The words “all” and “inclusive” are not a substitute for a written list.

Shore plans must respect tender operations, marina use, arrival time and ship clearance. REQUEST VIP confirms a car, restaurant or private boat only after the call schedule is known. The luxury travel service can attach flexible hotels, while the private jet charter service can protect complex open-jaw routes.

Scheduled voyage or full privatisation

A suite booking shares the yacht and follows its published itinerary. Full privatisation reserves the vessel for one group and currently presents capacity up to 110 guests with crew and shared spaces dedicated to that party. The charter contract must define route authority, all 54 suites, guest limit, event production, inclusions, port costs, security, deposits and cancellation.

Compare that agreement with an independent private yacht charter because pricing structure and route flexibility can differ. For a corporate or private occasion, the VIP events service documents visitors, suppliers and technical access before production is contracted.

Fare, terms and independent support

The quote separates suite or charter price, taxes, port charges, inclusions, shore services, transfers, insurance requirements and REQUEST VIP fee. Online examples are date-specific and should not be reused as universal starting prices. Payment recipient, deposits, final balance, cancellation, name changes and itinerary-change rights must be visible.

REQUEST VIP is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an official representative of Orient Express Sailing Yachts or its operating companies. The separate Orient Express train guide cannot establish yacht benefits, loyalty recognition or contract terms.

How It Works

  1. Share dates, region, guests, suite layout, port preferences, mobility needs and budget.
  2. REQUEST VIP verifies the sailing, named suite, fully inclusive definition, supplier and terms.
  3. Review the total, deposits, cancellation, port plan and permitted itinerary changes.
  4. Confirm the voyage, then add compatible flights, hotels and approved shore arrangements.

Yes. The current official information states that the yacht began sailing in May 2026.

How many guests can Corinthian carry?

Orient Express publishes 54 suites and a maximum of 110 guests, subject to category-level occupancy.

Does fully inclusive mean every onboard and shore service is free?

No universal conclusion is safe; premium items, treatments, excursions and transfers require the selected fare definition.

Does Corinthian always sail only under wind power?

No. SolidSail supports wind-assisted navigation, while actual propulsion depends on operational and weather conditions.

Can the entire yacht be reserved?

Yes, full privatisation is presented, but dates, route, scope, price and terms need a separate charter proposal.

Is REQUEST VIP affiliated with Orient Express?

No. REQUEST VIP acts independently and identifies the contracting supplier before payment.
