There’s a new kid on the ultra-luxury cruise block, and it’s beckoning you to escape the winter blues with a holiday under the Caribbean sun.
Meet Orient Express Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing yacht.
After spending its maiden summer in the Mediterranean, this exquisite ship is headed to the Caribbean for late fall and winter. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a “cruise person,” I have a hunch you’ll adore spending time in one of its 54 spacious suites.
Let’s start planning your dream winter Caribbean vacation soon—these sailings will sell out quickly.
Why Orient Express Corinthian
You’ll have the opportunity to explore St. Barths and Antigua, Martinique and St. Martin—all while traveling in a sumptuous leather- and marble-adorned yacht brought to you by Orient Express, one of the most iconic travel brands in history.
Corinthian features five restaurants overseen by Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno, as well as amenities such as a cinema room, a high-tech gym and a barbershop. Look closely at the walls: You might find the speakeasy, one of eight bars onboard. Any musicians in the family? You’ll likely find them jamming out in the recording studio.
Spend mornings waking up on your balcony with a mug of your butler-delivered coffee, and evenings sipping cocktails in the nightclub. Splash around the marina’s sea pool with the sun overhead, and enjoy a glass of Champagne at the seafood bar as the sun sets over the water.
3 nights | Barbados to Puerto Rico
If it’s your first time on a cruise, I suggest booking a shorter three-night itinerary. The Barbados to Puerto Rico sailing from October 26 to 29 is a great start.
Along the way, you’ll stop at Saint-Pierre, Martinique, and Gustavia on St. Barths. Enjoy Martinique’s volcanic black-sand beaches as well as the iconic luxury stores and restaurants of St. Barths. It’s a perfect quick dip into the world of yacht cruising.
4 nights | St. Martin to Barbados
Skip the pre-Thanksgiving planning stress with a voyage from Marigot, St. Martin, to Bridgetown from November 17 to 21.
You’ll spend two days in Antigua, docked alongside other yachts at the world-renowned Falmouth Harbor. Enjoy the views before heading off for an afternoon under the sun at Barbuda’s pristine pink sand Princess Diana Beach.
Trade the pink for the rich volcanic black sand of Saint-Pierre, Martinique. From there, it’ll be time to leisurely unwind on your way to Barbados.
6 nights | Barbados to St. Barths
Spend your Christmas under the Caribbean sun. From December 21 to 27, the yacht will be sailing from Bridgetown, Barbados, to St. Barths—stopping at the secluded white sand beaches of Canouan, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and spending an overnight in both Les Saintes, Guadeloupe and St. Barths.
Spend pre-Christmas among Les Saintes’ pristine coral reefs and the marvelous forests. Come the holiday, you’ll be splashing around the turquoise waters of the onboard marina and shopping the designer stores of St. Barths (treat yourself—’tis the season, after all).
Intrigued? I can match you to these or one of Corinthian’s many stunning winter itineraries. You absolutely won’t regret it.
