Financial Reporting Manager (w/m/x) / Orient Express Sailing Yachts

Orient Express

Artisan of Travel since 1883, Orient Express is a legendary brand, deeply rooted in history and admired by generations past, present, and future. As a symbol of ultra-luxury hospitality, the brand is currently undergoing an ambitious phase of rebirth and expansion accelerated since 2024 as a Joint Venture between ACCOR and LVMH. 

Our unparalleled portfolio redefines luxury travel and hospitality. At its heart is the iconic Orient Express, with its legendary carriages reimagined as a modern tribute to French luxury. We further expand this vision through strategic partnerships, including our collaboration with ARSENALE Group to launch 'La Dolce Vita' — a train celebrating Italian art de vivre — and introduce exquisite hotels such as O.E La Minerva in Rome, with O.E Palazzo Dona Giovannelli in Venice soon to follow. Additionally, our collaboration with Orient Express Sailing Yachtsbrings to life the Orient Express Corinthian, poised to be the world’s largest sailing ship.

While redefining the future of luxury hospitality, Orient Express places particular emphasis on the employee experience, development, and engagement. 

Orient Express Sailing Yachts

140 years after the launch of its first luxury trains, the Orient Express legend continues with the launch of the world's largest sailing ships, the Orient Express Corinthian. A revolution in maritime history, and a fabulous project that pushes back the limits of what is possible. The result of a unique French partnership between Accor, the world leader in hospitality, and Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the world's leading cruise ship builder. This extraordinary sailing ship of the future, with its spectacular interiors, will set sail in 2026.
