Published
The Orient Express has set out its second summer at sea. For 2027 Orient Express Corinthian, the sailing yacht of 54 suites that made its first Mediterranean cruise season this year, returns from the Caribbean in March with new voyages from Lisbon and Andalusia to the Greek islands, Corsica and the Adriatic: one of the most beautiful ways to spend a luxury Mediterranean cruise.
In late April she sails from Valletta to Athens by Pylos, Monemvasia and Hydra; in early May from Istanbul to Samos and Mykonos and back; at midsummer round Sicily and Malta, by Syracuse, Taormina, Lipari and Palermo. In July she runs from Portofino to Marseille by Portovenere, Bonifacio, Saint-Florent and Calvi, then along the Côte d'Azur by Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Monte Carlo, and in August makes an Adriatic cruise from Venice to Split by Rovinj and Korčula.
With no more than 110 guests, a small ship cruise in the truest sense, she reaches small harbours the great ships cannot, and every cruise suite has a terrace or a panoramic window. Her sister, Orient Express Olympian, is due to join her in 2027, and the summer voyages are now open for reservation.

The Mediterranean Season Letter
Four letters a year, one for each season: the Mediterranean from spring to autumn, and Beyond the Mediterranean, into the Alps, in winter. The one best hotel to book, and the events worth crossing a sea for.
