The Orient Express Silenseas Embarks Journey in June 2026
Get ready to set sail on the ultimate high-seas escape, as the Orient Express Silenseas, set to become the largest sailing yacht in the world, prepares for its maiden voyage in June 2026. Measuring an impressive 220 metres in length, this sailing marvel will redefine luxury travel on the open water.
The Silenseas yacht, commissioned by the Accor Group, is a collaboration between Chantiers de l’Atlantique and other unnamed industry leaders. This collaboration promises a unique blend of heritage and cutting-edge technology, offering a luxurious and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional cruising.
Culinary experiences are a focus on the Silenseas yacht, with two fine-dining restaurants serving regionally-inspired menus. Passengers can indulge in a journey where every aspect, from dining to entertainment to excursions, has been curated to reflect the elegance, refinement, and attention to detail the brand is celebrated for.
The yacht offers 54 suites, ensuring a high level of privacy and personalised service. Each suite has been designed to blend classic luxury with modern comfort, while the Presidential Suite features a private terrace, expansive living spaces, and bespoke furnishings.
For entertainment, passengers can enjoy amphitheatre-cabaret performances, a speakeasy-style bar, and a private recording studio. Relaxation is also a priority, with two swimming pools for passenger relaxation and a rejuvenating spa.
Adventure seekers will appreciate the water sports facilities available during stops at tropical destinations. In the winter months, the Silenseas yacht will transition to the Caribbean, offering 14-night transatlantic voyages and island-hopping itineraries.
The Silenseas yacht's three towering SolidSail rigs, each over 300 feet high, allow the yacht to travel primarily under wind power. This, along with a hybrid propulsion system powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), ensures efficient, eco-conscious cruising.
In a travel landscape increasingly dominated by large cruise liners, the Orient Express Silenseas stands apart as a beacon of personalised, refined, and sustainable luxury. It represents the evolution of the Orient Express brand itself, extending its philosophy of creating immersive experiences to the seas.
The Silenseas yacht promises a voyage where the journey itself is as memorable as the destinations, and where guests can experience a lifestyle once reserved for royalty and the elite. It's not just a yacht; it's a new era of luxury sailing.
