Orient Express Partners with Guerlain for Sailing Yachts Spa

Orient Express has partnered with high-end cosmetics and fragrance company Guerlain to create the Guerlain Spa onboard Orient Express Sailing Yachts. According to Orient Express, the partnership “brings together two French icons of elegance and refinement.”

“This alliance unites two French icons of elegance and savoir-faire. With Guerlain, we reimagine the art of travel and wellness, creating a sanctuary where beauty, refinement, and destination discoveries converge,” said Philippe Hetland-Brault, president of Orient Express Sailing Yachts.

“Aboard Orient Express Sailing Yachts, our guests will embark on journeys that are as enriching for the soul as they are unforgettable.”

Spread across 5,380-square-feet, the spa features four treatment suites, including a VIP double suite for couples, alongside a sauna, serene relaxation lounge, a barber studio, a beauty salon, a fitness space, and a lap lane with open-sky views.

Guerlain will debut a collection of experiences crafted exclusively for Orient Express Sailing Yachts. With names like Wave Serenity, Soleil Plein Sud, and Aqua Odyssey, these treatments elevate the typical spa treatment to sensory immersive wellness journeys.  

In addition to the spa treatments, Guerlain will curate a wellness retreat program that accompanies guests throughout their voyage. Designed around the four essential pillars of wellness — nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and mindfulness — the program features guided meditations, movement sessions, spa rituals, and nature-immersive experiences.

“We are proud to unveil our partnership with Orient Express Sailing Yachts, a collaboration that redefines the art of luxury wellness. Together, we will craft Guerlain spa experiences that transcend beauty — immersing guests in rituals that nourish both body and soul. This alliance brings our shared commitment to heritage, elegance, and innovation to life on the high seas. It is a new chapter in holistic indulgence, where every detail speaks the language of timeless luxury,” said Gabrielle Saint-Genis, CEO at Guerlain.

Orient Express Corinthian, the first yacht in the fleet, will offer 54 suites ranging in size from 463 square feet to 2,422 square feet. It will feature a massive library holding some 1,500 books, a cinema inspired by the golden age of film, and a culinary program led by multi-Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alléno. It sets sail in June 2026 in the Mediterranean, followed by a season in the Caribbean starting October 2026.
