Onassis was a visionary. As one of the great businessmen of his time, he chose not to build a new yacht in one of his northern European shipyards, but to transform a ship that already had character and charm, Christina O. 

Originally designed by billionaire Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and named after his beloved daughter, the Christina O yacht reflects the opulent lifestyle of superyacht elites. Following Onassis's passing in 1975, the yacht fell into disrepair. Fortunately, a meticulous restoration was completed in 2001, allowing charterers to experience the essence of her unique past with the highest standard of luxurious accommodation and onboard service. That character and charm is even more evident today after multiple refits and improvements. 

Perhaps the most renowned ship available for charter nowadays, the Christina O yacht offers an unparalleled yachting experience. From the moment you step aboard this stunning luxury motor yacht, elegance and splendor are immediately apparent. The Christina O yacht is synonymous with oppulence and sophistication, boasting a rich history that includes hosting numerous stars and high-profile guests.

Christina O Yacht: Perfect for Events & Entertaining

There are many ways to enjoy Christina O. She was designed as an impressive yet cosy venue for the world's most influential people to be entertained. Heads of state and business leaders were invited to socialise with the most beautiful and talented musicians - relationships were forged and developed for the mutual benefit of all. The yacht is a unique setting for entertaining. It is a remarkable opportunity to be able to charter this yacht today for similar entertaining, and benefit from her charm without the cost of ownership.

There are still very few yachts that can accommodate more than 12 guests, and Christina O is one of them. Not only does she have 17 cabins, but she can also cruise close to shore with up to 157 guests on board. She is between the most popular superyacht charters in Greece for birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries and corporate entertaining.

Christina O's Oppulent Interior

The yacht's interior has been impeccably updated to meet modern standards while retaining its original charm. The yacht boasts several lounge areas, formal dining rooms, a library, a gym, a spa with two full-time therapists, and a cinema room. Entertain guests on one of the three pianos onboard or enjoy the elegant atmosphere created by the signature circular staircase or elevator that connects all decks.

An outdoor ‘Callas stage’ enhances the deck area, complementing the concert room below, which once featured performances by legends like Maria Callas. The Onassis Suite and the cozy Ari’s Bar also add to the unique atmosphere of the Christina O yacht, with the bar crafted from salvaged timber from a sunken Spanish galleon.

Amenities & Entertainment

The yacht has a remarkable selection of toys and watersports equipment, so for a charter that is all about fun with family and friends Christina O can compete with the modern large yachts in terms of inventory, while offering something extra in terms of deck space and style.

The yacht's Head Chef produces Michelin Star standard cuisine, assisted by the Pastry Chef to create fabulous desserts. There is also a Sushi Master and expert in Asian and Japanese cuisine on board. If wine is something you want to enjoy, there is a wine expert available as part of the Christina O team.

At last but not least, those keen on fitness can take advantage of the Christina O yacht's gym, equipped with the latest machines, including semi-recumbent bicycles, a Power Plate, an elliptical cross trainer, a treadmill, along with various weights and benches.
