Orient Express is partnering with high-end cosmetics and fragrance company Guerlain to launch the Guerlain Spa onboard Orient Express Sailing Yachts.
Guerlain will debut a collection of experiences crafted exclusively for Orient Express Sailing Yachts, with Orient Express Corinthian set to launch in June 2026.
“This alliance unites two French icons of elegance and savoir-faire,” said Philippe Hetland-Brault, president of Orient Express Sailing Yachts. “With Guerlain, we reimagine the art of travel and wellness, creating a sanctuary where beauty, refinement, and destination discoveries converge.”
“Aboard Orient Express Sailing Yachts, our guests will embark on journeys that are as enriching for the soul as they are unforgettable.”
Treatments have names such as Wave Serenity, Soleil Plein Sud, and Aqua Odyssey, and are tailored to elevate the typical spa treatment to sensory immersive wellness journeys, the ultra-luxury brand said.
Inspired by the movement of the sea and the serenity of travel, Wave Serenity invites guests to surrender to absolute tranquility. Expert gestures with cool, wave-like spoons smooth and illuminate the face, while a gentle leg massage completes this journey toward inner peace.
Aqua Odyssey is a resynchronising journey through the enchanting gardens of Aqua Allegoria, where tonic pressures and energising gestures awaken circulation and restore the body’s natural rhythms. Soleil Plein Sud pays homage to the sun, preparing and regenerating the skin before and after exposure, while awakening the senses in a luminous, honey-enriched ritual.
Spread across 500-square-metres, 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.
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,” remarked Gabrielle Saint-Genis, CEO at Guerlain.
“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.”
Orient Express Corinthian, the first yacht in the fleet, will offer 54 suites and a culinary program led by multi-Michelin-starred Chef Yannick Alléno.
Orient Express and Guerlain are both maisons of the ultra-luxury French firm, LVMH.
