Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek to be on Bonaire in January

From January 20, 2008 through February 1, 2008, Jeopardy’s charismatic Alex Trebek will be on board the Sea Cloud II, along with two other special guests, for an unusual and new cruise itinerary with a special emphasis on exploring Bonaire, Curacao, Grenada, and two nature reserves in Trinidad.

Alex Trebek has challenged and entertained millions of viewers worldwide since Jeopardy!’s debut in 1984. Trebek now leads the blockbuster series into its 24th season—firmly establishing Jeopardy! as America’s Favorite Quiz Show®. As a result of his work on Jeopardy! and the series’ great success, Trebek has been honored with four Daytime Emmy Awards for “Outstanding Game Show Host.” Trebek has appeared in more than 70 movies and television shows, most often appearing as himself, and he has been honored with a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Additionally, he has been inducted into the California Broadcasting Association’s Hall of Fame and the prestigious Canadian Walk of Fame making him one of only a handful of people honored by both the U.S. and Canada. 

He’ll be joined by journalist Kenneth Avery Ringle and marine artist Geoffrey William Hunt, as well.  Limited to only 86 guests, the spacious and elegant Sea Cloud II is, arguably, one of the most magnificent sailing vessels in the world. A three-masted barque, she is 384 feet long with over 29,000 square feet of sails all set by hand.

Many feel that this is just the type of cruise ship Bonaire should court, as many times cruise visitors on smaller ships have a better understanding of Bonaire’s fragile ecosystems and they tend to be more interested in nature and conservation.

The cruise is sponsored by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic.  For additional information, click here. (Source: Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic Web Site)
