[IMG: Orient Express Sailing Yachts Revolutionary Design]
[H2] Revolutionary design
The development of Orient Express Sailing Yachts project presented a unique set of challenges, as contemporary standards for safety, crew, and efficiency differ vastly from those of traditional sailing ships. Designing a 1,500-square-meter (16,145-square-foot) sail posed another formidable task; many sailmakers abandoned the idea due to the immense forces involved. Yet, the  engineers at Chantiers de l’Atlantique embraced the challenge, creating a patented sail using carbon fiber-reinforced glass panels instead of standard woven cloth.This innovative sail plan, paired with powerful hull lines, endows Orient Express Corinthian with its unmistakable silhouette and remarkable performance on the open sea.

[H2] Welcome to Orient Express Venezia
A 15th-century Venetian palace reawakens after an eight-year renovation by architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. The Palace was transformed in the 1800s by architect Gian Battista Meduna and beautified with layers of Neo-Gothic and Baroque splendor. Once home to the Duke of Urbino and the Donà and Giovannelli families, it later became a Pinacoteca. Now, through Orient Express, it begins a new hospitality chapter, honoring the legacy of a noble mansion while embracing the spirit of the iconic hotel brand. Just ten minutes from the historic quay, the palace gleams anew, its courtyard, terraces, and garden inviting exploration.
