Christina O

If the popular TV show Extreme Makeover had an ultimate winner, Christina O might be in the running for the title.

The thing is Christina O isn't like other Extreme Makeover contestants, a show made up mostly women searching for a new look. Christina O is a yacht - a 325 foot yacht who went through a complete makeover a decade ago.

But Christina O's story begins long before this. This historical yacht hosted some of the world's big names, men and women such as Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. Christina was the focus of many paparazzi shots, traveling through the seas modestly shaping history.

In 1998, Christina was purchased by a new owner, who changed her name from Christina to Christina O.  From 1999-2001, Christina was trusted in the hands of some of the world's leading experts to restore and improve her beauty. From her engine, piping, and wiring to her interior decor, not a single detail was forgotten. 

Today, Christina O's beauty is unmatched. Her spectacular winding staircase and her intricate moldings help maintain her historical character, but she boasts a modern sophistication as well, marked by a 1,500 square foot sun deck with a jacuzzi and a spacious sports lounge.

It almost feels like Christina O is the past meeting the future.
