Inspired by the golden age of the Orient Express, the OE Corinthian invites travellers to hop on a journey of a lifetime!

The Orient Express is a beacon of luxury when we talk about train travel across the globe. The iconic train with a glamorous 20th-century atmosphere is now being brought to the world of cruising to sail across the horizons. Yes, 140 years after the launch of its first luxury trains, the legendary Orient Express has now unveiled the world’s largest sailing yacht for Orient Express Sailing, the OE Corinthian. This colossal sailing yacht is a testament to the legacy of the Orient Express brand, set to redefine luxury travel on the high seas including Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Caribbean.

 Scheduled to debut in June 2026, the Orient Express Corinthian is one of the two ships that Orient Express will launch initially. Designed to navigate the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Caribbean, on OE Corinthian guests will embark on serene voyages guided by the tranquil winds of nature. The new cruise ships are the result of a partnership between Accor, Chantiers de l’Atlantique and LVMH.

Designed by the renowned architect Maxime d’Angeac, the Corinthian embodies the spirit of the golden age of ocean liners. Its sleek silhouette is a sight to behold. The yacht’s interiors are a masterpiece of Art Deco charm with lavishly appointed suites, opulent lounges, and fine dining establishments. Every detail, from the handcrafted furniture to the exquisite artwork, exudes timeless opulence.

 At about 721 feet long, it is the world’s largest sailing yacht, capable of sailing at speeds up to 17 knots (about 20 miles per hour) purely using the wind.  Built with an eco-conscious mindset, the OE Corinthian reduces fuel consumption and its cutting-edge emissions reduction technologies ensure this yacht minimizes its environmental footprint while protecting marine life with a specialized marine mammal detection system.

 Onboard the Orient Express Corinthian, guests will find a total of 54 grand suites, each designed as premium sanctuaries keeping utmost privacy and comfort in mind. Of these, 48 suites are on mid decks while six grand suites are on the topmost deck of the ship. These suites offer breathtaking views of the ocean and are perfect to relax. Havens of peace, relaxation and contemplation, the suites offer passengers intimate surroundings in which to read, write, eat and drink, or simply chill out while admiring the view. All of the rooms are decorated with wood, leather and marble fashioned by exceptionally talented, meticulously selected craftsmen and women. 

And to satisfy all tastes, the yacht boasts five elegant restaurants adorned with warm and timeless decor, each with its own strong personality. Eight bars including a 1930s-style speakeasy, a 115-seat cabaret exuding a Parisian atmosphere with art deco overtones, a recording studio, a cinema and a spa round up the range of services available to passengers. The marina at the stern of the boat offers a prestigious setting, far from the madding crowd, to enjoy dinners and sea activities right at the water’s edge.

The Corinthian’s itineraries are meticulously crafted to offer guests a unique blend of exploration and relaxation. From the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean to the exotic islands of the Caribbean, each voyage is filled with joy. For total relaxation, the 16.60 m long swimming pool on deck 6 provides a perfect opportunity for swimmers to keep in shape. Guests can also indulge in a variety of activities, including snorkeling, diving, and exploring historic sites.

The Orient Express Corinthian is more than just a yacht, it’s a symbol of a new era of luxury travel. By combining the grandeur of the past with the innovation of the future, the Orient Express Corinthian offers an unparalleled and unforgettable experience for discerning maritime travellers around iconic moorings and stopovers.

You can cruise faster than sound, in Stargazer, the first hypersonic commercial jet that arrives in 2030!

Tired of long-haul flights? Us, too! Luckily, you don’t need to fret more as soon you would be able to fly across the world in mere hours and to be more specific, you can fly from US to Japan in just one hour. How, you ask? Well, thanks to Texas-based Venus Aerospace, Hypersonic travel, a concept once related to the realm of science fiction is not fiction anymore, it turned into reality. Stargazer M4—a hypersonic commercial aircraft capable of reaching a maximum speed of Mach 9 (nine times the speed of sound) is at the forefront of this technological revolution. This groundbreaking hypersonic jet promises to redefine the way we travel.

Picture this, watching the iconic Taj Mahal in India and then the Statue of Liberty in New York on the same day. Incredible right? Stargazer M400, Earth’s first hypersonic, reusable aircraft which measures 150 feet long and 100 feet wide, can fly at 6,905 mph at an altitude of 170,000 feet. In comparison to the last commercial supersonic aircraft Concorde—traveled at Mach 2, or about, 1,535 mph it is much much faster.

Venus Aerospace’s flagship jet Stargaze will ascend from a central airport using advanced propulsion systems and leveraging the Venus RDRE Ramjet, the vehicle will accelerate from taxi to cruise speeds of Mach 4 at 110,000 feet with a top speed capable of Mach 9. To sum up, after taking off as a conventional jet, the Stargazer will make a shift into rockets once it reaches altitude. The route it will fly is not technically on the edge of space, or the Karman line, which is 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. But it will be high enough to see the planet’s curve and the blackness of space.

The stellar jet features include a range of 5000 miles while maintaining half the emissions. The considerate design dynamic of the jet allows seamless takeoff and landing at different airports despite its varying qualities. Stargazer, designed with cutting-edge aerospace engineering, is capable of reaching speeds and incorporating advanced aerodynamics in the jet helps minimize drag and ensure stability at high altitudes.

Once onboard, up to 12 passengers can cruise at an altitude of 110,000 feet, in contrast to the approximately 38,000 feet a normal commercial plane cruise. They can also witness the ethereal curvature of the earth. Arriving soon in the 2030s, the Venus Stargazer promises a surreal experience heralding a legendary shift for humankind. It will reduce travel time, boost tourism and cultural exchange. It could also revolutionize the way businesses operate, enabling more frequent international meetings and collaborations.

Venus Aerospace aims to price the tickets for their hypersonic jets the same as the current prices of any first class in conventional aircraft. All in all, the future of travel is here, and it’s faster than we ever imagined.
