SUSTAINABILITY MEETS STYLE: REVOLUTIONARY SAILING TECHNOLOGY

The Orient Express Corinthian isn’t just a symbol of beauty, it’s also an innovation in sustainable travel.
Equipped with SolidSail technology, its three rigid sails span 16,000 square feet, allowing for up to 100% wind propulsion depending on weather conditions. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) system ensures eco-friendly navigation even when the sails rest.

This approach echoes Belmond’s philosophy: luxury should inspire, not consume.

BELMOND, ORIENT EXPRESS & LVMH GROUP

Both Belmond and Orient Express are part of the Accor Group’s luxury portfolio, with LVMH joining forces in 2024. Their shared DNA—heritage, artistry, and innovation—makes this sea collaboration a natural evolution.

From Belmond hotels in Europe to Orient Express trains and now the Corinthian yacht, each experience offers something uniquely refined yet deeply connected to the brand’s essence: the pursuit of beauty, culture, and emotion through travel.
