Christina O Yacht Charter

About Christina O

At 99.15m (325’4”), Christina O is far more than a charter yacht, she is a floating piece of yachting history. Built by Canadian Vickers and styled with interiors by Apostolos Molindris & Associates, this legendary classic offers accommodation for up to 34 guests across 17 cabins, making her an exceptional option for large groups who want something truly rare and prestigious.

Her story is as famous as her silhouette. Once at the heart of Aristotle Onassis’ glamorous world, Christina O later slipped into decline before being painstakingly brought back to life in a major restoration completed in 2001. Today, she blends timeless charm with modern comforts, and her onboard highlights include a spa, beauty salon, gym, elevator, and a renowned dancefloor feature that remains one of the most talked-about elements of the yacht.

Exterior Design & Profile

Christina O was shaped in the early 1950s by designer Caesar Pinnau, and her profile remains unmistakable. From her graceful clipper bow and sweeping sheer line to her rounded superstructure and gleaming white finish, she embodies classic elegance in every detail. The finishing touch is her iconic yellow funnel, a signature feature that makes her instantly recognisable in any harbour.

Deck space is a major part of her appeal, with large open-air areas designed for both quiet relaxation and vibrant social gatherings. The compass deck offers sun loungers and a bar for daytime cruising, while the promenade deck provides an aft spa pool and outdoor dining arrangements for long, unhurried evenings. And of course, her famous mosaic swimming pool on the main deck is more than just a pool; it can be raised to create an impressive dancefloor, ideal for unforgettable celebrations onboard.

Interior Design & Layout

Step inside Christina O, and the experience feels more like entering a private grand residence than a yacht. During her refit, the interior was completely refreshed, with important artefacts preserved and restored to ensure her character and heritage were never lost. The result is an atmosphere that is both polished and nostalgic, where every room carries a sense of history.

Among her standout spaces is the Lapis Lounge, named after its original lapis fireplace and styled with the warmth of a classic manor house. She also features a formal dining salon with a striking 24-seat table, perfect for elegant group dinners. The famous Aris Bar remains a major highlight, packed with distinctive details and personality. A dramatic atrium featuring the Onassis omega emblem ties the yacht together, connecting the decks through a spiral staircase that adds to her unmistakable grandeur.

Guest Accommodation

Christina O’s flagship accommodation is the celebrated Onassis Suite, located forward on the bridge deck. Spread across three separate rooms, it includes a spacious bedroom, a luxurious Penteli marble bathroom, and a refined study finished in oak panelling and lined with books, creating a calm and private retreat onboard.

Beyond the master suite, the yacht provides a generous selection of guest cabins arranged for flexibility and comfort. There are 10 double staterooms forward on the main deck, while the lower deck features eight convertible cabins, making it easier to tailor the layout for families, corporate groups, or multi-generational charters. With this level of capacity and spacing, Christina O offers the kind of privacy and scale that few yachts can match.

Onboard Comfort & Entertainment

Christina O is built for guests who want atmosphere as much as amenities. Her lounges and gathering areas are designed to encourage everything from quiet afternoons to high-energy evenings, giving charterers a wide choice of ways to spend time onboard.

The promenade deck features an elegant library and a vast saloon, arranged into multiple seating zones for entertaining. For larger occasions, the main saloon can be used as a ballroom with space for live performances, and it can also transform into a cinema with a drop-down screen and a high-end sound system. A glass-panelled gym adds a modern wellness element, while the music room with a Steinway piano continues the yacht’s tradition of hosting memorable moments in refined style.

Performance & Range

Despite her classic pedigree, Christina O delivers impressive capability under way. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she offers stable, confident cruising along with the strength expected of an ocean-going vessel of her stature. Powered by twin MAN engines, she cruises at 15 knots and can reach a top speed of 19 knots.

Her range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots supports longer itineraries and multi-stop voyages, making her suitable for more ambitious charter plans. A stabilisation system further enhances comfort, helping to reduce movement so guests can enjoy smooth cruising between destinations.

Toys & Water Equipment

Christina O balances classic glamour with modern on-the-water fun, offering a well-rounded collection of toys and equipment. Thrill seekers can enjoy the excitement of Flyboarding, Jet Skis, a waterslide, and towables that bring energy and variety to each day at anchor.

For calmer adventures, she also carries kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling gear, ideal for exploring coves and coastlines at a slower pace. Four tenders make transfers easy and stylish, including an elegant Hacker Craft Limo Tender for smooth shore arrivals and VIP-level outings.
