Old-World Glamour Meets New-Age Sophistication Onboard Legendary CHRISTINA O

From the D-Day landings to the first meeting between John F. Kennedy and Winston Churchill, CHRISTINA O has witnessed more than its fair share of iconic moments. Launched in 1943 to serve as a River-class anti-submarine frigate for the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War, she was then bought by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and transformed into the most modern and glamorous vessel of our era.

Now, more than half a century later, she is still one of the finest superyachts available to charter, with vast deck spaces, sumptuous art-filled interiors, and all the amenities you would expect from a modern-day floating palace.

Precious marbles, rare books, and paintings by Renoir and Le Corbusier adorn her majestic, history-infused interiors. 16 guest cabins, all named after Greek islands, are decorated in elegant pastel color palettes. A master cabin - the lavish Onassis’ Suite - stands alongside this luxury yachts’ amenities, such as the legendary teak-lined Ari’s Bar and the famous minotaur-themed swimming pool, which converts into a dance floor.

CHRISTINA O is available for charter with Morley Yachts.
