The interior design by Apostolos Molindris reflects a balance of heritage and functionality. The bridge deck is dedicated to the Onassis Suite, which includes a private lounge and oak-paneled study. Guest cabins are arranged with ten units on the main deck and eight on the lower deck, many of which are convertible. Public spaces, including the historic Ari's Bar with its original whale-tooth footrests and the Lapis Lounge with its rare lapis lazuli fireplace, utilize fine marbles and rare woods to create a professional and high-value environment.

Exterior spaces are designed for maximum utility and social flow. The aft main deck features the iconic mosaic-tiled swimming pool that serves as a dance floor when raised. Multiple decks, including the sun deck with a Jacuzzi and the expansive promenade, offer diverse zones for entertainment. Her wide beam of 36’6” (11.1m) ensures generous deck areas that remain functional for events hosting up to 250 individuals.

Performance is delivered by twin MAN engines producing 5,550hp. She maintains a 15-knot cruising speed and a range of 6,000 nautical miles, making her a capable platform for global navigation. Her steel displacement hull is supported by Vosper and Koopnautic stabilizers to ensure a stable experience both at anchor and while underway. Technical reliability is supported by regular maintenance and recent refits to primary machinery and safety systems.

CHRISTINA O represents a rare acquisition for a buyer seeking a yacht with immense volume and historical pedigree. Her high guest capacity and extensive deck space position her as a premier asset for private or corporate use. She is maintained to high standards and is available for immediate purchase. This is a significant opportunity to acquire a global icon with a proven operational record and enduring market presence.
