Saint Martin Welcomes Orient Express Coral Yacht in 2026

The world-famous Orient Express brand is expanding its legacy at sea with the arrival of its flagship yacht, the Orient Express Corinthian, set to home-port in Saint Martin in the winter of 2026. This move positions the French side of the island, especially Marigot, as a new hub for high-end cruising that blends elegance, culture, and adventure.

Following a successful debut in the Mediterranean, the Corinthian will offer a boutique sailing experience across the Caribbean, ending its journeys in Miami. This addition joins a growing wave of ultra-luxury cruise brands like Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, catering to travelers seeking smaller ships, personalized service, and unique destinations.

Saint Martin’s charm – its scenic beauty, gourmet dining, and French-Caribbean flair – makes it an ideal base for Orient Express guests. The partnership is expected to boost the island’s tourism economy by attracting affluent visitors and supporting local businesses.

Onboard, the Corinthian showcases refined design and signature touches such as the Agatha Christie Suite, along with fine dining, curated itineraries, and eco-conscious sailing. Together, Saint Martin and Orient Express are setting a new course for luxury travel in the Caribbean—where timeless sophistication meets island splendor.
