Christina O is a private motor yacht that once belonged to billionaire Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis.
The boat originally served as a Canadian anti-submarine River-class frigate called HMCS Stormont, launched in 1943.
Onassis purchased the Stormont after the end of World War II.
He only spent $34,000 for the purchase but then spent an additonal $4 million to convert the vessel into a luxurious superyacht, named after his daughter Christina.
Onassis entertained on his yacht many celebrities such as Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne, Clementine Churchill, Diana Churchill, Winston Churchill, Jacqueline de Ribes, John F. Kennedy, Greta Garbo, Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, Grace Kelly, Anthony Montague Browne, Rudolf Nureyev, Begum Om Habibeh Aga Khan, J. Paul Getty, Eva Perón, Françoise Sagan, Frank Sinatra,
Upon Aristotle Onassis's death in 1975, his daughter Christina donated the yacht to the Greek government to serve as a presidential yacht.
The Greek government changed the name of the Christina and renamed it Argo, but never actually used or took care of the needs of such vessel.
In 1998, she was purchased by John Paul Papanicolaou and reverted her name back to Christina O.
The yacht underwent a vast restoration, with a view to maintain much of its original history.
The most heavily persevered areas include the Onassis suite, as well as the concert room and the famous Ari’s bar where the stools retain the original upholstery crafted from a very soft, fine leather made from the foreskins of whales.
The aft main deck has an outdoor pool with a minotaur-themed mosaic floor that rises at the push of a button to become a dance floor.
Christina O is currently available for private charter for those who want to bask in the glory of her golden age.
