For over twenty years, Onassis' ‘home' played
host to the world's most famous, powerful and
influential people and now we proudly offer her
to you and your guests for that exceptional
experience that until recently was only a part
of her legendary past. As a result of the most
complex mega yacht refit ever undertaken, the
motor yacht CHRISTINA O has been totally
refurbished and re-powered with all state of art
machinery and amenities, in full compliance with
the highest standards of safety and reliability-
the stringent SOLAS, US Coast Guard and US
Public Health Certification.
Guests can join the ranks of celebrities such as
Sir Winston Churchill, The Begum Aga Khan, King
Farouk, Jackie Kennedy, Eva Peron, Elizabeth
Taylor, Greta Garbo, Maria Callas, Frank Sinatra
and Dame Margot Fonteyn who have enjoyed the
hospitality this magnificent yacht has to offer.
The m/y “CHRISTINA O” was also the venue for two
of the greatest parties of all time; when the
fireworks reception of Grace Kelly and Prince
Rainier of Monaco's marriage and Aris Onassis
and Jackie Kennedy's wedding party were held on
board. The magnificent vessel is now the only
mega yacht with this certification worldwide,
capable of accommodating up to 36 guests in 19
luxurious staterooms catered by a complement of
32 officers and crew. In addition, the mega
yacht CHRISTINA O assumes her supremacy as the
preferred venue for all occasions- prestigious
galas, international launches and a variety of
cultural and corporate events for up to 250
guests on her canopied decks. She boats four
magnificent salons, a sumptuous dining room
capable of seating up to 40 guests, three
cocktail bars (including the famous Aris' bar),
an extensive library, a children's playroom, a
fitness centre, beauty parlour, and massage
room. Her exterior amenities include the famous
swimming pool (convertible to dance floor), a
large Jacuzzi, expansive sunbathing decks and a
helipad.

Entertainment & lay out Description
Aris’ Bar: Perhaps the most famous spot on
board, John F. Kennedy first met Sir Winston
Churchill in Ari's Bar in 1957. The intricately
detailed bar contains barrels and sea chests
hinting of pirate treasure, whaling harpoons and
an illustrated wall map of the world. The
circular bar itself was originally crafted from
the timbers of a Spanish Galleon, wound with
heavy sailing rope and is adorned with footrests
and handholds of ornately carved whales' teeth.
It features a glass top over a lighted relief of
the sea, which depicts the development of ships
through history with tiny model ships that can
be moved around by magnets. The barstools are
covered in whale foreskin, a fact that Onassis
delighted in telling his guests.
Lapis Lounge: This elegant lounge owes its name
to the breathtaking lapis lazuli fireplace,
which is the focal point of the room where
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor once
relaxed. Bookshelves surrounding the fireplace
are filled with rare volumes. Fine pieces of art
including a Renoir, Le Corbusier and de Chirico
line the walls.
Swimming pool & dance floor: Carefully restored
by an apprentice of the original craftsmen, the
floor of the bronze-bordered swimming pool is
inlaid with an exquisite mosaic copied directly
from the Palace of Knossos in Crete. With the
push of a button, the bottom of the pool rises
above the water to become a dance floor.
Atrium: A majestic spiral staircase highlighted
by an onyx and silver handrail circles the
atrium, connecting the three cabin decks. A
delicate mural winds up the surrounding wall and
a central mosaic with the "Christina" Yachting
emblem adorns the floor.
Spa complex: Encompassing half the Promenade
Deck, the spa complex includes a fitness center,
massage room, sports lounge and beauty salon as
well as the sumptuous Jacuzzi Deck, fitted with
a large jacuzzi, an open air bar and al fresco
dining.
Main Dining room: The dining room can
accommodate up to 40 people and features fine
hand-finished tables, Venetian lace tablecloths,
Waterford glassware, Ercuis silverware and a
sunken marble floor.
Library: Filled with books from around the world
which are published in several languages, the
library provides guests with a place to read
some of the rare volumes or work at one of two
writing desks.
Music lounge: This lounge features a grand
piano, Italian furniture by Giorgetti and Maria
Callas memorabilia including her sole gold
record.
Show lounge: Equipped with a presentation
platform, Giorgetti furniture, and huge bay
windows offering panoramic views, the Show
Lounge houses video equipment and a stereo
system.
Children’s playroom: This brightly decorated
room provides an ideal spot for children to
convene and offers a selection of toys for their
amusement.
