The Orient Express will sail the seven seas after 140 years on land.
Accor has just unveiled a new Orient Express cruise liner which will debut in spring 2026. The decadent 722-footer, known as Silenseas, is set to become the world’s largest yacht. She will be able to accommodate up to 120 passengers on voyages throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
It is a one-of-a-kind French partnership between Accor and Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipbuilding.
The 220-metre-long modern yacht will feature 54 suites measuring an average 70-square-metres, including a huge 1,415-square-metre Presidential Suite.
The vessel will have two swimming pools two restaurants and a speakeasy bar featuring Orient Express signature flourishes.
“We are beginning a new chapter, taking the excellence of luxury travel and transposing it onto the seas,” said Accor CEO Sébastien Bazin.
