In June 2026, Orient Express will inaugurate a crossing destined to become legendary.
On board the magnificent Orient Express Sailing Yachts, the Guerlain Spa is born, a sanctuary of beauty suspended above the sea, where wellness becomes a journey and the journey becomes art.
It is the meeting of two French icons, Orient Express and Guerlain: guardians of elegance, creativity, and savoir-faire. Two Maisons that, with the same passion for the art de vivre, are opening up new horizons in the world of luxury hospitality and holistic well-being.
THE GUERLAIN SPA: A TEMPLE OF LIGHT, SILENCE, AND WONDER ON THE SEA
In the heart of the Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing ship, The Guerlain Spa comes to life, a place where time slows down and the senses awaken.
A divine 500 m² refuge, designed to offer harmony, peace, and a deep reconnection with oneself.
Among its wonders:
- four suites dedicated to treatments, including an exclusive VIP suite for couples
- sauna, relaxation area, and barber shop
- an elegant beauty salon
- a gym with state-of-the-art equipment
- an outdoor lap pool that blends into the horizon
Every gesture, every fragrance, every detail conveys the spirit of the Orient Express journey.
Each treatment becomes a sensory ritual, a promise of inner light that is reflected on the outside.
“Together with Guerlain, we reinterpret the art of travel as an experience that nourishes the soul and ignites wonder.”
— Philippe Hetland-Brault, President of Orient Express Sailing Yachts
A journey through the senses: Guerlain ceremonies, an ode to the sea
Guerlain has created tailor-made experiences for these extraordinary sailing ships: not just simple treatments, but true sensory journeys, born from the dialogue between the sea, nature, and the body.
Wave Serenity – A dance as gentle as the motion of the waves: the therapists’ gestures caress the face, the skin glows, the mind calms.
Aqua Odyssey – Rhythmic pressure and vital energy evoke the enchanting gardens of Aqua Allegoria, awakening the body’s circulation and balance.
Soleil Plein Sud – A sunny, nourishing, and radiant ritual enriched with honey to prepare and regenerate the skin for bright days at sea.
Ocean Awakening – A journey into the depths of the ocean made up of contrasts, warmth, freshness, and enveloping gestures that release tension and renew vital energy.
Guerlain also offers personalized holistic retreats that accompany guests throughout their journey, based on four pillars: nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindfulness.
Meditations at dawn, rituals at sunset, experiences in nature: every moment is an invitation to rediscover balance and vitality.
“This collaboration rewrites the art of luxury wellness: rituals that nourish the body and soul, in a journey that smells of eternity.”
— Gabrielle Saint-Genis, CEO Guerlain
Orient Express Corinthian is not just a yacht: it is a floating palace, a tribute to aesthetics, engineering, and the great French tradition of craftsmanship.
- 220 meters of pure elegance
- three majestic sails reaching almost 100 meters
- 54 suites ranging from 43 to 225 square meters, all with panoramic views
- interiors designed by Maxime d’Angeac, featuring precious materials, selected art, and a design that blends light and memory
Its construction, which took over four years, is the work of the renowned Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
Every inch of the sailing ship is designed to celebrate beauty and protect the sea:
from SolidSail wind propulsion and energy optimization to integrated sustainable systems on board.
On board, culture becomes a traveling companion: a library with 1,500 rare books, a cinema reminiscent of the golden age of film, and a music lounge for concerts and intimate gatherings.
And then there is the sky, the wind, and the precious silence of sailing.
The cuisine created by multi-starred chef Yannick Alléno completes this sensory immersion with a marine interpretation of French haute cuisine.
Every detail is pure Art of Travel.
- Mediterranean – from June 2026
- Caribbean – from October 2026
The Orient Express Corinthian will travel to iconic destinations, giving guests the unique thrill of arriving by sea.
With Orient Express and Guerlain, the sea becomes a place of the soul and the journey is transformed into an act of pure beauty.
On board the Orient Express Corinthian, every route is a promise of wonder: an invitation to let yourself be guided by the wind, the light, and the art of well-being.
Here, you don’t just sail: you live an experience that remains, like a perfume, forever etched in your memory.
