#Milestone | ORIENT EXPRESS and Chantiers de l'Atlantique celebrate a defining moment: the keel laying of Orient Express Olympian, the brand’s second Sailing Yacht. A new milestone for ORIENT EXPRESS Sailing Yachts: The keel laying of Orient Express Olympian, the second Orient Express sailing yacht crafted with Accor, was laid today at Chantiers de l'Atlantique - a symbolic moment marking the official start of assembly, ten months after the first steel plate was cut. At 220 meters, Orient Express Olympian will stand alongside Orient Express Corinthian as the world’s largest sailing yacht. Powered by SolidSail innovation, 4,500 m² of sails, and advanced environmental systems, she embodies a shared commitment to responsible and exceptional travel. As Orient Express Olympian enters construction, Orient Express Corinthian prepares for sea trials in December ahead of her debut in May 2026 in the Mediterranean. Reservations for 2026 are now open.
