TRAVEL BUZZ

AmaWaterways Adds Itineraries

Crystal chandeliers, gilt
coffered ceilings and two-story
marble columns have greeted guests
to downtown Louisville's Brown Hotel
for nearly a century. Since its doors
opened in 1923, the Brown Hotel has
attracted presidents, Hollywood
celebrities and sports heroes.
After a day at the Kentucky Derby
or a performance at the historic
Brown Theatre, visitors head to the
hotel's oak-paneled English Grill, now
a AAA Four Diamond restaurant, for
bourbon cocktails and a Louisville
staple: the Hot Brown. The classic
open-faced turkey sandwich topped
with bacon and Mornay sauce was
invented at the Brown Hotel in 1926.
If history put the Brown Hotel on the
map, it was contemporary amenities,
24-hour room service and an attentive
staff that won the hotel its modern-day
AAA Four Diamond rating. The 293
guestrooms are furnished with
mahogany beds dressed with feather
duvets and hand-woven throws.
Richly-upholstered furniture, impressive
artwork and hand-polished marble
bathroom floors add luxury to the rooms'
decor. Additionally, knowledgeable
concierges, complimentary
transportation to stops on the Urban
Bourbon Trail, theatres and other
downtown attractions assure that guests
are never without anything they need.

Cruise Lines
Collaborate on
COVID-19 Initiative
Royal Caribbean Group and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings are
working together with leading public health experts to develop enhanced
health and safety standards for the cruise industry. Each cruise line has
indicated they will work as an "open source" for other lines to allow the
new measures to be adopted freely by any other company or industry.
"While the cruise industry has always had rigorous health standards,
the unique challenges posed by COVID-19 provide an opportunity to
raise the bar even higher," explains NCL president and CEO Frank Del
Rio. The Healthy Sail Panel plans to provide initial recommendations
before September.
