In recent years, we’ve seen luxury hospitality companies increasingly getting into the cruising industry. For example, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection was among the first, then we recently saw the launch of Four Seasons Yachts, and then in 2027 we’re supposed to see the launch of Aman at Sea.
There’s another luxury hotel cruising experience that’s coming soon, and I’d like to cover the details, especially in light of recent developments with some competitors. Specifically, I’m talking about Orient Express, which is known by many for its incredible luxury train journeys (well, and hotels).
Given the small size of the ship, the sheer number of dining and entertainment outlets is very impressive. Dining will include everything from La Table de l’Orient-Express by Yannick Alléno, to La Terrasse, to L’Ecrin, to Marina Bay, and beyond. The ship will have a pool, full service spa, gym, several entertainment venues, a marina, and more.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
