Voyage Itinerary
15 July
Setting sail from London Tower Bridge
In our view there couldn't be a more magical port than Tower Bridge. Only the smaller ships can make it up the river to the Pool of London, tying up next to HMS Belfast, with glorious views to the north of the Tower of London, and to the south of the modern City Hall. As you sail from here, the bridge opens, stopping the traffic for your departure. The skyline boasts the bridge itself, and behind it the City's modern architecture: the Gherkin, the Cheese Grater and the Walkie Talkie building.
16 July - At sea
17 July
United Kingdom: Torquay
18 July to 19 July
France: Saint-Malo
Saint-Malo grew rich off the back of maritime trade and its plundering corsairs, a seafaring heritage that is still proudly on display today. It’s great fun getting lost in the streets of the walled old town, and the famous medieval abbey of Mont Saint-Michel is an easy day-trip.
20 July
France: Honfleur
Situated on the southern bank of the Seine estuary, Honfleur was once one of France’s most important ports. It was also a favourite location of Monet and the Impressionists, and art lovers may well recognise the elegant Renaissance architecture of the old harbour, the Vieux Bassin.
21 July - At sea
22 July
Arriving in London Tower Bridge
Only the smaller ships can make it up the river to the Pool of London, tying up next to HMS Belfast, with glorious views to the north of the Tower of London, and to the south of the modern City Hall. As you sail from here, the bridge opens, stopping the traffic for your departure.
Our tip
Stroll along the South Bank to Shakespeare’s Globe – pre-book to see a performance if you can, either at the Globe, or in the entrancingly tiny Sam Wanamaker theatre – a gem.
The ship
Orient Express Olympian
- Capacity:
- 110 Guests
- Style:
- Elegant and refined, inspired by the golden age of travel and offering a unique sailing experience.
The first yacht from Orient Express Sailing Yachts set sail in 2026 boasting a striking 3-masted design and elegant interiors. Sister ship Orient Express Olympian joins the fleet in 2027.
What we love
When we followed Orient Express Corinthian's design progress, we were intrigued by the striking profile of the vessel, quite unlike anything we have seen before. Indeed, this is the first yacht to be fitted with the SolidSail propulsion system, technology designed to reduce emissions and developed by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the shipbuilding company which built the vessel. Aside from the exterior, a cruise on Orient Express Corinthian promises a blend of elegance, heritage, and glamour, with Art Deco design features, an array of dining options, and stylish suites. Read our guide to everything we know about this innovative yacht. Sister-ship Orient Express Olympian joins the fleet in 2027.

Ways to make it better
Where to stay in London
The Guoman Tower Hotel, right by the bridge to the North of the river, has fantastic views to put you in the mood.
A tour of Tower Bridge
A private tour to Tower Bridge's Towers, high-level Walkways and new glass floor, then down to the Engine Rooms, is rather special.
