Orient Express Sailing Yachts and Guerlain recently announced Ocean Rebirth, a 14-day wellness retreat aboard the Orient Express Corinthian. The retreat, taking place October 12–26, 2026, will incorporate guidance from five wellness experts during the transatlantic crossing from Lisbon to Bridgetown, Barbados. It is the ideal time to focus on wellbeing, pausing for rest and regeneration. There is also a two-day stop in the Azores.
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, preventative 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 first time, seven advanced aesthetic technologies, including LED, plasma, and radiofrequency. It is complemented by:
- Technogym Check-up Assessments
- Pressotherapy
- LED Masks
- Theragun Recovery Devices
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.
Five experts accompany guests throughout the voyage:
