Christina O was built in 1943 and the vessel was originally a Canadian frigate escort, participated in World War II. In 1954 Aristotle Onassis bought her for 34,000 USD, then invested 4 million USD (equivalent today to 45 million USD) and it became one of the most elegant private yachts in the world. The yacht got his daughter’s name – Christina. The yacht has a length of 99 meters, as it can play up to 250 guests. It spaceful deck, a large Jacuzzi and swimming pool with mosaic. On board there is a dining room for 40 people, 1 master suite and 18 rooms which can accommodate 36 guests. Christina O boasts an extremely rich history. It was one of the most popular meeting places for high society since the mid 20th century. Really some of the riches and most famous persons boarded on the yacht in these years, including John D. Rockefeller, Eva Peron, Jackie Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and etc. The yacht is floating mansion of Onassis and home to his family for two decades. After his death in 1975, the yacht was inherited by his daughter, who in 1978 donated it to the Greek government for presidential yacht. In 1998 the yacht was bought by the Greek shipping tycoon smear (family friend of Onassis), who in the period 1999-2001 restored and equipped the yacht Christina O with all the latest technologies.
