“The famous Christina O just reached our shores!” came the excited announcement on the Nammos World social media pages.
Christina O was originally built during the second World War as a Canadian frigate before being purchased by Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis in 1954 for $34,000 before spending a further $4 million on transforming the vessel into the most iconic and luxurious superyachts ever launched.
Named for his daughter Christina, over the years Christina O played hostess to the superyacht elite, with guests including Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, John F Kennedy and Winston Churchill.
After falling into a state of disrepair after the death of Onassis in 1975, shipowner Ioannis Pavlos Papanikolaou bought the ship in 1998 and undertook a meticulous restoration project for the astronomical sum of 50 million dollars, restoring the yacht to her former glory in 2001.
The grand interiors and luxurious amenities of Christina O can now be enjoyed by charterers for up to €700,00 per week in high season.
Special features of the historic superyacht include its renowned Minoan bull and vaulter mosaic swimming pool that turns into a dancefloor, glamourous bar, and an outdoor spa.
Inside, you can find luxury accommodation for up to 36 guests as well as impressive dining and entertainment facilities complete with a fire-place, oak-panelled library, a ball room, cinema, gymnasium and music room complete with grand piano where the likes of Maria Callas and Frank Sinatra once performed.
In addition to its world-class amenities onboard, Christina O offers a toy box overflowing with the latest water sports gear including a flyboard, waterslide, jet ski, towable toys, kayaks, paddleboards and snorkelling equipment as well as four tenders including a Hacker Craft Limo Tender.
