Laurent Castaing, Chief Executive Officer of Chantiers de l’Atlantique, says: “For more than one hundred and sixty years, Chantiers de l’Atlantique has been building ships that define their era. Orient Express Corinthian is the latest proof of this: 720 feet, 15,000 tonnes carried by the wind, three SolidSail sails… the fruit of ten years of research and development. It is a concrete, technical response to the decarbonisation challenges facing maritime transport. But above all, it is the work of men and women of exceptional dedication and passion. To them I owe this humble pride. And I thank Orient Express for the trust they placed in us from the very first day of this extraordinary project.” Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:10:43 +0000 https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/seabourn-unveils-new-2026-voyages-with-over-200-destinations-in-nearly-40-c/ https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/seabourn-unveils-new-2026-voyages-with-over-200-destinations-in-nearly-40-c/ Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury voyages and expedition travel, has announced an exciting program of immersive 2026 itineraries available on Seabourn’s ultra-luxury ocean fleet – Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Quest and Seabourn Sojourn – which will explore the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska & British Columbia, Japan, and Canada & New England between March and December 2026.
