Orient Express Sailing Yachts voyages are best booked through Accor Preferred travel advisors. They can get you the best price, and also add a shipboard credit. Ford and his team are happy to help with any requests, and can be reached at [email protected].
While Orient Express is primarily known for its luxury trains, the brand also recently got into the cruising industry, with the launch of Orient Express Sailing Yachts. The Corinthian is the company’s first ship, and it’s the world’s largest sailing yacht. This really takes cruising to the next level, and is unlike anything else on the sea — read my review here.
If you are considering booking an Orient Express cruise, I’d highly recommend doing so through a travel advisor affiliated with Accor Preferred, which is the brand’s preferred partner program — you won’t pay extra, and you’ll receive more perks.
There are no “discounts” with Orient Express cruises
Orient Express is a brand that’s known for pricing parity across booking channels, and that also applies to the Orient Express Sailing Yachts concept. That’s to say that you’re not going to find some huge discounts on an Orient Express cruise cruise itinerary through consolidators, online travel agencies, etc.
Orient Express Sailing Yachts clearly publishes prices on its website, and that’s exactly what you’re going to pay, regardless of where you book. The question comes down to which booking channel gives you the best overall experience, and if you can pick up any extra perks.
Accor Preferred travel agents can add Orient Express cruise perks
Accor Preferred is a program for travel advisors, offering perks like breakfast, room upgrades, and property credits, when staying at Accor’s luxury brands, including Orient Express. Since Orient Express Sailing Yachts is associated with Accor Preferred, this is also the best way to book these cruises.
You’ll find the same rate that you pay directly, and you’ll get an extra shipboard credit, with the amount varying based on the length of the journey and the suite type booked. There’s absolutely no reason not to book this way, as there’s only upside.
Let me mention that while Orient Express cruises are ultra all-inclusive, this credit can still be used for things like spa treatments, as the ship has an incredible spa.
Ford and his team are happy to help with Orient Express Sailing Yachts bookings — you can reach out at [email protected]. They don’t charge fees for these bookings, and can get you the same rate you’d pay if booking directly, plus extra perks.

In closing, let me just mention that Four Seasons Yachts and Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection both also offer a great experience. Those are also best off being booked through Four Seasons Preferred Partner and Marriott STARS travel advisors, respectively. Read my comparison of the three cruising experiences here.
