About this boat

The Christina O is not merely a yacht; it is a monumental piece of history, originally built as the Canadian anti-submarine frigate HMCS Stormont in 1943 by Canadian Vickers. Transformed into a floating palace by billionaire Aristotle Onassis in 1954, this 99.13-meter (325-foot) superyacht stands as one of the world's most iconic vessels, blending wartime heritage with unparalleled luxury.

Today, the Christina O offers a unique charter experience in Athens, Greece, accommodating up to 34 guests across 17 luxurious cabins named after Greek islands. With a maximum speed of 19 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles, it combines historic grandeur with modern performance.
