Have you heard of impact travel? It’s a whole new kind of travel — traveling with a purpose, with the opportunity to community build, immerse yourself in another culture, and create an enduring social impact.
Fathom Travel is owned by Carnival and makes a cruise much more than a cruise. Love of travel and wanting to help others don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and Fathom has combined the two to help travelers make a difference in the world, helping travelers to enrich the lives of others and themselves.
Fathom will make its maiden voyage in the spring of 2016, with round trip sails from Miami to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. In the Dominican Republic, travelers will get to work side by side with local residents on programs focusing on improving the lives of children and families within the community.
There will be so many ways to make an impact, including projects focused on education, environment, and economic development. Travelers can also choose to spend time working alongside local and Fathom partners on causes the traveler cares about, whether or not they want be be physically active with their volunteer opportunity. All travelers who want to make a difference will be able to find a great fit on any Fathom trip! In addition to having a great social impact, Fathom travelers to the Dominican Republic can also relax, enjoy tons of different recreational activities, and take advantage of the beauty the island has to offer.
There are also memorable recreation, leisure, and sightseeing activities available to Fathom travelers to experience in the Dominican Republic when not participating in social impact projects. Whether exploring ancient ruins, interacting with the abundant marine life in the crystal clear water, lounging along the sun-soaked stretches of surf and sand, or participating in social impact activities, travelers will have the opportunity to make the most of their experiences in the Dominican Republic.
Seven days of sun, fun, and doing something good for those who need your help doesn’t sound like such a bad idea, does it?
