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.
