Voyage Itinerary
3 September
Setting sail from Venice
Venice is a city like no other, a marble maze of turquoise canals criss-crossed by beautiful bridges, overflowing with palaces, churches and charming little piazzas. No matter how many times you've seen it in photographs, that first glimpse of the Grand Canal will simply take your breath away; it hardly seems credible that such an eye-popping scene could exist outside of a Canaletto painting. Of course Venice is a city that draws big crowds, especially in summer, but don't let this put you off; even the busiest areas are never more than a few steps from a quiet courtyard or a secluded square.
4 September
Croatia: Rovinj
Rovinj is undoubtedly the highlight of the Istrian coast, a picturesque medieval fishing port with a strong Italian influence discernible in everything from the elegant architecture to the bilingual street signs. A day trip to one of the nearby islands also makes for an enjoyable excursion.
5 September
Italy: Trieste
Almost encircled by the territory of neighbouring Slovenia, the Adriatic port of Trieste has always stood slightly apart from the rest of Italy, and the city’s former status as a free port under Austrian rule is reflected in the handsome Habsburg architecture.
6 September
Arriving in Venice
Venice is a city like no other, a marble maze of turquoise canals criss-crossed by beautiful bridges, overflowing with palaces, churches and charming little piazzas. No matter how many times you’ve seen it in photographs, that first glimpse of the Grand Canal will simply take your breath away.
Don't miss
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection houses an eclectic assortment of works from the likes of Picasso, Magritte and Jackson Pollock. There is also a lovely garden facing on to the Grand Canal, with a rather rude sculpture of a rider on horseback.
The ship
Orient Express Corinthian
- Capacity:
- 110 Guests

- 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.
