SEATTLE, Feb. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom,
the pioneer in social impact travel and Carnival Corporation's
(NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) 10th and newest brand, today
announced the availability of a buy one get one (BOGO) special on
Fathom sailings to the Dominican
Republic that gives the first and second travelers a
discount of 50 percent off per person. Travelers may book the BOGO
offer through Feb. 29 for
Dominican Republic social impact
sailings from April through June of 2016. April – May rates begin

Unlike traditional BOGO offers, Fathom is extending the offer to
include the second traveler at an unbeatable price. Travelers can
build a community with like-minded travelers, become immersed in
another culture, and work alongside one another to create enduring
social impact, while also setting aside time to take advantage of
relaxing and recreational activities. This offer makes it easier
for travelers to bring along family members, loved ones or good
friends on an incredible journey of discovery, leisure time and
personal enrichment for the price of one.
"This offer is a great way for two friends, loved ones or family
members to be among the first to sail on a Fathom voyage to the
Dominican Republic," said
Tara Russell, president of Fathom
and global impact lead for Carnival Corporation. "With our
exceptional BOGO offer, we are welcoming travelers from all walks
of life to unleash their personal gifts and talents and deeply
impact the world."
Varying from economic, educational and environmental activities,
travelers can participate in a wide range of exciting impact
activities both onboard and on-ground, while exchanging cultures
and customs with Dominican families. Impact activities include
building water filters for Dominican homes; helping a women's
cooperative produce artisan chocolates; improving homes and common
areas in impoverished communities; assisting arts and crafts
entrepreneurs; connecting one-on-one in the homes of Dominican host
families; participating in community English-language retention
activities; and supporting reforestation efforts.
In addition to participating in array of social impact
activities, travelers to the Dominican
Republic can experience memorable recreation, leisure and
sightseeing activities. Whether exploring ancient ruins,
interacting with abundant marine life in the crystal clear waters
to lounging in the sun-soaked stretches of surf and sand, travelers
will have the opportunity to make the most of their time in the
Dominican Republic. They will also
have access to select Amber Cove
excursions. The port will offer numerous sea and landside
experiences including several beach getaways, kayak, paddle board
and snorkeling tours, ATV-like terracross buggy expeditions,
Puerto Plata tours, helicopter
rides, fishing trips, horseback riding, deep sea fishing tours and
catamaran sailings.
Fathom's BOGO offer is available for all stateroom categories.
