V.Ships Leisure to Manage Orient Express Yachts – Cruise Industry News

V.Ships Leisure has announced it will be a key partner for the new Orient Express yacht start up as the company has been brought in to cover crew, technical and hotel management.

Managed from Monaco by V.Ships Leisure, the first vessel, Orient Express Corinthian, will be the world’s largest sailing yacht, featuring hybrid LNG propulsion and AI-driven noise reduction technology.

Per Bjornsen, CEO of V.Ships Leisure, commented: “We are honored to partner with Orient Express on this revolutionary maritime project, where exceptional design meets cutting-edge technology and sustainability.

“Our role is much more than a ship manager. By working in close partnership with our clients, building a strategic and collaborative relationship, we are providing real value and impact. At a time when the industry is getting more and more complex, we have the agility to support small and medium-sized companies in the hospitality space, whilst providing the scale of a global business. It’s a real win-win for all.

“Of the new luxury products coming into the market, this is the one to be most excited about,” he said, noting the high-tech sailing ships, iconic brand and ownership from Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy.

“We are working together already and well into the planning stage with the delivery of the first ship (the OE Corinthian) a little more than a year away,” Bjornsen said.

Florian Richard, Fleet Director of Orient Express Sailing Yachts added: “V.Ships Leisure shares our commitment to excellence and our vision for a refined, sustainable travel experience.”
