France has launched the world’s largest cruise sailing liner!

The world's largest cruise sailing liner, 220 meters long and weighing over 26,000 tons, was launched in France. The vessel, named Orient Express Corinthian, is the result of a collaboration between the legendary passenger rail service Orient Express and the French hotel group Accor.



Built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the vessel is equipped with a propulsion system unique for a cruise ship of her size, capable of running solely on wind power in favourable conditions. Should additional power be required, a hybrid system using liquefied natural gas (LNG) provides backup propulsion.
