MIAMI, Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Fathom, Carnival Corporation's (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE:
CUK) 10th and newest cruise brand, today announced its "Agents of
Possibility" campaign for travel professionals. Featuring a full
range of limited-time early-booking offers for agency clients on
2017 sailings to Cuba and the Dominican
Republic, the program also includes opportunities for agents
to earn points toward valuable prizes. Every month, two lucky
agents registered for the program will be awarded a trip for two on
a future Fathom Dominican Republic sailing.
"Throughout the campaign, we will award two agents per month
with the gift of a Fathom cruise they can pass on to a client they
feel deserves new possibilities," said Ron
Fenska, vice president, sales for Fathom. "Every day
travel professionals deal in a world of possibilities, helping to
open up the world to their clients through amazing travel
experiences. Fathom believes in the potential of travel to create
meaningful connections with people and places in the world and we
want to give our travel professional partners the opportunity to
feel the joy of sharing this experience with someone special."
Beginning Sept. 6 through Dec. 31,
2016, travel professionals may register to participate in
the "Agents of Possibility" promotion. Once registered, travel
professionals will be eligible to earn points for their agencies
for every 2017 passenger booked with Fathom. Two points will be
awarded for each passenger booked aboard a 2017 Fathom sailing to
the Dominican Republic and one
point will be awarded for each 2017 Cuba passenger booked. Points
will accrue by agency, and each month the agency with the most
points will win a chance to select a valuable prize from the Agents
of Possibility prize list. When the campaign concludes in December,
the agency with the most overall points will be awarded an exciting
mystery grand prize.
In addition to prizes that will be awarded for points earned,
each month Fathom will select at random two agencies to receive
complimentary travel for two aboard the intimate and
well-appointed, premium small-ship MV Adonia to the Dominican Republic. Fathom invites winning
agencies to pass the sailings forward to clients they believe
deserve an opportunity to experience Fathom. Travel professionals
need only register for the Agents of Possibility promotion to be
eligible.

"Travel professionals truly understand how meaningful travel can
be to help drive cultural exchange, economic growth and human
understanding, and we believe they are an important part of selling
the Fathom experience," said Fenska. "Travel professionals do not
just make a difference they are the difference in delivering
inspiring journeys. It is gratifying to have a promotional campaign
that draws agents into a world of potential, exploration and
excitement, while giving them the tools and incentive to attract
new clients."
According to Fenska, Fathom understands that connection via
travel is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The company offers
unique experiences designed to make the most of travelers' time in
the countries they visit. For example, in Cuba travelers have a total of almost four
full days on-shore in Havana,
Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba
where they interact with the vibrant Cuban culture by immersing
right into it. In the Dominican
Republic, Fathom incorporates a signature blend of
independent exploration with a deeper kind of travel that invites
participation alongside locals in community-based activities.
A highly popular element of Fathom's cruise experiences is
enjoying the countries while taking advantage of all the amenities
of a modern hotel available aboard the cozy, intimate and playful
Adonia, which serves as home base throughout the seven-day voyages.
Guests also appreciate the regionally inspired dining,
entertainment and onboard programs included as part of the
cruises.
