The vessel, which displaces roughly 15,000 metric tons, is described as one-of-a-kind and has already established a speed record for wind-driven ships of comparable size.<\/p>\n<p>Decade of Design and SolidSail Technology<\/p>\n<p>Constructed at Chantiers de l&#8217;Atlantique, the companies note that the ship is the culmination of ten years of research and development. The yard created the SolidSail system that provides the vessel&#8217;s propulsion, offering what it views as a technical solution to the decarbonization challenges facing maritime transport.<\/p>\n<p>The yacht utilizes three rigs, each covering 1,500 square meters and reaching over 100 meters in height. These rigs are fully automated and can deliver 100 percent wind-powered propulsion when conditions allow. Each rig can rotate 360 degrees, ensuring optimal sail positioning regardless of the vessel&#8217;s course or wind direction. A tilting capability of up to 70 degrees enables the carbon masts to clear bridges and other air-draft limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Record Sea Trials and Propulsion Systems<\/p>\n<p>During sea trials conducted in February 2026, the ship attained a speed of 12 knots in winds of 20 knots, using only wind power. The shipyard notes this as a milestone for a vessel of its displacement. The Orient Express Corinthian has a displacement of 15,000 tons, measures 26,300 gross tons, and is 220 meters (722 feet) long.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to wind power, the ship features a hybrid propulsion system that uses Liquefied <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/indicators\/symbol\/natural-gas-dec-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Natural Gas<\/a> (LNG). The design includes multiple energy-efficiency features and an AI-assisted detection system that constantly watches for marine mammals and objects in the water, reducing the likelihood of collisions. Dynamic positioning technology allows the ship to hold its location without anchoring, protecting the seabed.<\/p>\n<p>Brand Expansion and Future Plans<\/p>\n<p>Sebastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO of Accor, remarked during the ceremonies that bringing the Orient Express to the sea is a natural extension of the brand&#8217;s image. Orient Express has been part of the Accor Group since 2022. In 2024, Accor and <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/4765913\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">LVMH<\/a> formed a strategic partnership intended to accelerate the brand&#8217;s growth. The company is also developing hotels and planning a new version of the historic Orient Express train.<\/p>\n<p>The Orient Express Corinthian is set to leave Saint-Nazaire on May 2, heading for the French Riviera and the start of its commercial operations. Its first season will involve cruising the Mediterranean, after which it will move to the Caribbean for the winter season.<\/p>\n<p>Passenger Suites and Amenities<\/p>\n<p>The vessel offers 54 passenger suites, ranging in size from 45 to 230 square meters, spread across four decks. It can accommodate 110 passengers and a crew of roughly the same number. Onboard facilities include five restaurants and private dining rooms, a 115-seat theater, a recording studio, and a spa. Additional amenities feature a swimming pool and a marina.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Ship and Industry Context<\/p>\n<p>A sister vessel, the Orient Express Olympian, was floated out at the same shipyard on April 17. It is now undergoing outfitting and is expected to be delivered in 2027. These ships are part of a broader trend where luxury hotel brands are entering the cruise sector as an extension of their services. Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons have already launched cruise ships, and <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/3233147\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Aman<\/a> is constructing a luxury yacht cruise ship in Italy, scheduled to enter service in 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-alpha-black mb-3\">Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tSort: Rank<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Company A-Z<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Headquarters A-Z<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t#<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCompany<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHeadquarters<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tFocus<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tScale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tNote<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t1<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tChantiers de l&#8217;Atlantique<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSaint-Nazaire<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCruise ships, ferries<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMajor global cruise ship builder<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t2<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPiriou<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tConcarneau<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPassenger ferries, vessels<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedium<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShipbuilding and repair<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t3<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMauric<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLa Ciotat<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPassenger vessels, yachts<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedium<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNaval architecture &amp;
