In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 26,305 gross tons, Orient Express Corinthian is the 22,118th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 4.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 307th by tonnage — larger than 39% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which Orient Express Corinthian is the 89th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 15 cruise ships flying the France flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.

Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1050193 this registry holds 3 other vessels, whose median build year is 2026 and which range from 2025 to 2026. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2026.
Its IMO number, 1050193, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 5×5 + 0×4 + 1×3 + 9×2 = 53 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
