MAIN DECK LAYOUT of "CHRISTINA O"

The ATRIUM

A majestic spiral staircase highlighted by an onyx and silver handrail circles the atrium, connecting the three cabin decks. A delicate mural winds up the surrounding wall and a central mosaic with the "Christina" Yachting emblem adorns the floor.

Ari's Bar

The intricately detailed bar contains barrels and sea chests hinting of pirate treasure, whaling harpoons and an illustrated wall map of the world. The circular bar itself was originally crafted from the timbers of a Spanish Galleon, wound with heavy sailing rope and is adorned with footrests and handholds of ornately carved whales' teeth. It features a glass top over a lighted relief of the sea, which depicts the development of ships through history with tiny model ships that can be moved around by magnets. The barstools are covered in whale foreskin, a fact that Onassis delighted in telling his guests.

The MUSIC CALLAS LOUNGE

This lounge features a grand piano, Italian furniture by Giorgetti and Maria Callas memorabilia including her sole gold record.

The DINNING Room

The dining room can accommodate up to 40 guest. It has fine hand finished tables and features the most excellent china and silverware. The porcelain service is by Bernardaud of Limoges, the crystal is Waterford by Rochas, the silverware by Ercuis and St. Hilaire of Paris, the tablecloths of exquisite Venetian lace and original wall lamps by Baccarat.

LAPIS LOUNGE

This elegant lounge owes its name to the breathtaking lapis lazuli fireplace, which is the focal point of the room where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor once relaxed. Bookshelves surrounding the fireplace are filled with rare volumes. Fine pieces of art including a Renoir, Le Corbusier and de Chirico line the walls.

The Swimming Pool / Dance Floor

Spanning her massive stern is the open pool deck where opera diva Maria Callas loved to relax during her tumultuous relationship with Onassis. To the delight of the guests, at the push of a button, the bottom raises to the deck level, becoming an instant dance floor. The area has been freshened with glistening varnished handrails and treatments over rich teak decks.
