Samantha Brown is easily the most recognized woman in travel television today. The Two-time Emmy-winning host (Outstanding Host; Outstanding Travel Program) of PBS’ Samantha Brown’s Places to Love (in its 6th season) is known for her warm, engaging personality and her ability to convey the true character of the people and places she visits throughout the world. Inspiring wanderlust since her television journey first began with Travel Channel’s “Great Hotels,” Samantha has been to over 250 cities in 62 countries and 40 of the United States. Her enthusiasm for travel and passion for connecting viewers to the people and cultures of the destinations she explores, has meant that Samantha’s focus remains on the “must meet” rather than on the “must-do’s.” Living out of a suitcase for almost two decades (often with 6-year-old twins in tow), Samantha debuted her own stylish luggage line in 2011 on HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Designed from her travel expert’s perspective, the line instantly became a top “customer pick” and was one of the most successful brand launches for the year. Featuring a full array of large suitcases, weekender bags, accessory cases, handbags, and a packing system that offers both ease and elegance, Samantha’s system travels well and encourages people to Go Ahead and Jump In! Recently, Samantha was announced as the Godmother of AmaWaterays’ revolutionary new ship, AmaMagna, and blessed the ship alongside AmaWaterways’ executive team during a Christening ceremony in Vilshofen, Germany in July 2019.
