John Cleese is to star in an onboard enrichment programme being held by
Silversea Cruises.
In 2008,
Silver Shadow will play host to a number of high-profile speakers that include actress Polly Bergen and TV personality Ted Allen, as well as Cleese.
Silversea Cruises stated that it searched the globe for the most stimulating and illuminating personages to take part in its enrichment programme tailored to the tastes of its "discerning clientele".
"Engaging experts from an array of fields, such as exploration, literature, film, photography, gourmet living and academia, will be on hand to share their talents and perspectives," explained Director of World Cruise and Business Development Joseph Proto.
Set to host the January 16th segment of the initiative, Cleese will accompany guests sailing from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, sharing anecdotes about his time writing and filming comedy gems such as Fawlty Towers, Monty Python's Flying Circus and A Fish Called Wanda.
