Ocean Rebirth: Wellness Retreat by Orient Express Sailing Yachts and Guerlain

A wellness retreat aboard the Orient Express Corinthian, set over the course of a transatlantic crossing. October 12–26, 2026:A time set aside for wellbeing, a pause for rest and regeneration, allowing for renewed attention to oneself.

Lisbon – Bridgetown

In October 2026, Orient Express Sailing Yachts and Guerlain will introduce Ocean Rebirth, a fourteen-day wellness retreat aboard the Orient Express Corinthian.

Following a transatlantic route from Lisbon to Bridgetown, with a two-day stop in the Azores, the retreat is structured around a program focused on physical regeneration and overall balance, developed by Guerlain.

Wellness is an Art

Ocean Rebirth is based on Guerlain’s holistic approach to wellbeing, structured around four pillars: nutrition, movement, mindfulness and sleep.

This philosophy brings together skincare, preventive health and longevity. Each guest follows a personalized program, shaped through an initial assessment and refined over the course of the journey.

The program combines individual consultations, small-group workshops and guided sessions. In addition to treatment protocols, guests benefit from a nutritional program developed in collaboration with the onboard culinary teams and Guerlain.

It also incorporates a range of dedicated tools. At the core of the program is LongeviSkin, a unique device developed by Guerlain that combines, for the very first time, the seven most advanced aesthetic technologies, including LED, plasma and radiofrequency. It is complemented by:

  • Technogym Check-up assessments
  • Pressotherapy
  • LED masks
  • Theragun recovery devices

A Fourteen-day Programme

Designed as a wellness retreat, Ocean Rebirth brings together Guerlain rituals and sessions led by specialists.
The program includes guided meditation, breathing exercises, nutritional consultations, physical activities and bespoke treatment protocols.

Workshops provide opportunities for exchange with practitioners, enabling adjustments and ongoing individual follow-up.
