Orient Express unveils 2027 yacht itineraries

Orient Express has unveiled a range of UK and Europe yacht itineraries for the 2027 season.

The brand is set to launch its first two Orient Express Sailing Yachts – Orient Express Corinthian in 2026 andOrient Express Olympian in 2027 – each featuring 54 suites. 

Orient Express Corinthian’s inaugural season in 2026 will feature Mediterranean and Caribbean sailings before joining Orient Express Olympian for itineraries visiting the UK, northern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean throughout 2027. 

A Scandinavian tour will see passengers depart from London, stopping off in Edinburgh before touring Norwegian fjords and the Danish straits of Skagerrak, Kattegat and Øresund on the way to Copenhagen, visiting Skagen and Bergenfjord in Norway on the way back to London.

Closer to home, another sailing from London to Honfleur in Normandy, France will take guests along England’s south coast to Torquay before passing Saint-Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel on the way to the Seine estuary. 

In the Mediterranean, a sailing will depart from the Greek city of Piraeus, touring the Cyclades, Mykonos and the Sporades archipelago before travelling down Turkey’s Bosphorus strait on the way to Istanbul.

Another itinerary will end in Piraeus, travelling from Valletta in Malta via the Ionian Islands, the Peloponnese, and Monemvasia and Hydra in the Aegean Sea.

The destination visits will be complimented by the yachts’ cuisine curated by Michelin-recognised Yannick Alléno, “wellness moments” from Guerlain and “bespoke experiences” throughout.
