Christina O is a private motor yacht. At 99.06 metres long she is number 29th among the Top 100 largest yachts in the world. She was originally a Canadian anti-submarine River-class frigate called HMCS Stormont and was launched in 1943. She served as a convoy escort during the Battle of the Atlantic and was present at the D-Day landings. After the end of the Second World War she was one of many surplus naval vessels; Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis purchased her for its scrap value US$34,000 and then spent US$4 million to convert her into a luxurious superyacht renamed Christina, after his daughter. Upon Onassis' death, Christina donated the yacht to the Greek government; the vessel is now owned by John Paul Nicolaou, an Onassis family friend also in the shipping business, who in 1998 secured the then-decaying yacht in a government-sponsored auction spent $50 million to retrofit her. He lets the yacht for elite charters and cruises. Amenities:
