In a playful twist on vacation planning, Marriott Bonvoy has introduced “Travel Roulette”, a digital experience designed to inject spontaneity into trip bookings—just as it celebrates a huge milestone: 1 million hotel rooms across the U.S.

Inspired by the viral “vacation roulette” trend on social media, the new initiative invites Marriott Bonvoy members to spin a virtual wheel at MarriottBonvoyRoulette.com for a chance to instantly win prizes, including stays at premium hotels and the grand prize of 1 million Marriott Bonvoy points plus a four-night stay at the newly opened Canal House of Georgetown.

Running from May 7 to May 26, this initiative brings excitement back into travel decisions, allowing travelers to discover destinations at random—fitting with Marriott’s recent survey that revealed 43% of Americans are open to booking unplanned or surprise getaways.

The campaign also highlights Marriott’s 1-millionth U.S. room, located in the Canal House of Georgetown, part of the fast-growing Tribute Portfolio. Nestled in historic Washington, D.C., this boutique property features design-rich accommodations, including specialty suites, townhomes, a library lounge, and a private courtyard.

Besides the grand prize, members may win Marriott Bonvoy points or complimentary two-night stays at select properties such as:

• AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea

• ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection

• JW Marriott Las Vegas

• Moxy Downtown Los Angeles

• W New York – Union Square, among others.

“Travel roulette embraces the excitement of the unexpected,” says Peggy Roe, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International. “With over 30 brands and 10,000 destinations, we want to celebrate this milestone by giving travelers a fun new way to explore.”

With Marriott Bonvoy's growing portfolio, members can redeem points not just for hotel stays, but also for exclusive experiences via Marriott Bonvoy Moments, immersive local activities, or even luxury hotel products from Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), a leader in global cruise travel, has announced extensive revitalizations for Norwegian Epic and Pride of America, both scheduled to debut their new enhancements in time for the 2025 summer season. These upgrades aim to give travelers even more freedom, flexibility, and fun with improved accommodations and entertainment for all age groups.

“We are excited to provide guests with MORE to do on board starting this summer,” said David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Delivering the best vacation experience, where guests have the freedom to do more of what they love, is and will always continue to be our goal.”

The Norwegian Epic will complete its three-week dry dock on May 8, 2025, and return with notable additions to its top deck, including a new hot tub on deck 18 and a refreshed Kids’ Aqua Park, which replaces the Splashgolf area. The Vibe Beach Club, an adults-only retreat, will be expanded with more lounge chairs, private cabanas, and an additional hot tub. Also, eight new staterooms—a mix of balconies and oceanviews—will be added.

Following these enhancements, Norwegian Epic will begin a season of bucket-list cruises in Europe. Guests can enjoy nine to eleven-day sailings from Rome to stunning Mediterranean and Greek Isles destinations such as Santorini, Mykonos, Valletta, Naples, Catania, and Florence/Pisa. Later in the year, the ship will return to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for seven-day Southern Caribbean cruises visiting Tortola, St. Lucia, Barbados, and more.

Meanwhile, the Pride of America will undergo upgrades from May 3 to 31, 2025, including a new Starbucks location in The Capitol Atrium and the introduction of pickleball within the existing sports court.

To offer guests more choices, 12 new Club Balcony Suites and three Inside Staterooms will be added to deck 12. The ship’s youth facilities—Splash Academy and Entourage teen club—will be relocated to deck 6, while new Library and Card Room spaces will be added, replacing older venues.

After its dry dock, Pride of America will resume its signature seven-day inter-island Hawaii cruises, the only ones of their kind in the world. Departing from Honolulu 52 weeks a year, this itinerary offers nearly 100 hours of port time with immersive overnight stays in Maui and Kauai, allowing guests to explore four Hawaiian islands in one unforgettable journey.

These upgrades further reinforce Norwegian Cruise Line’s commitment to offering guests enriching and flexible travel experiences tailored to their preferences.
