Fathom sets Dominican Republic and Cuba Cruises’ prices, cruise brand unveils solo traveler pledge

Fathom recently released a full schedule of fares for its social-impact cruises in the Dominican Republic and Cuba. And it rolled out a program for individual travelers interested in traveling solo and participating in social impact travel experiences.

Carnival Corporation's 10th and latest brand, Fathom, which is renowned by its social-impact route, has announced pricing for its seven-day trips to the to the Dominican Republic and Cuba. Cuising aboard the MV Adonia, a 710-passenger vessel redeployed from Carnival's P&O Cruises (UK), Fathom's service-oriented passengers function with the locals as they undertake community needs. The cruise line merged the number of fare choices into stateroom, oceanview stateroom, balcony stateroom and suite stateroom categories.

"Travel pricing can be complicated, so we have taken a straightforward, transparent approach to pricing Fathom experiences, condensing the number of fare categories and breaking down pricing by occupancy and season," stated Tara Russell, president of Fathom and global impact lead for Carnival via Cruise Industry News.

She added, "Impact travel experiences historically have been limited, hard to identify, and complex to piece together and schedule. Our pricing philosophy is consistent with our goal of simplifying the entire experience - Fathom offers an accessible, convenient and high-value offering that is easy to book and competitively priced."

According to Travel Weekly, a cabin source revealed on an off-peak cruise to the Dominican Republic costs at $974 for a seven-day trip. Moreover, the price for the peak season suite is at $4,468. On a mid-May shoulder-season cruise for Fathom, the travel price is between $1,256 and $4,259 compared with $809 and $2,059 for sister brand Carnival Cruise Line.

Fathom prices for Cuba allegedly have ranged higher than the Dominican Republic other routes. The leading price is at $1,800 for an interior cabin on ordinary days, compared to a suite during peak seasons of $8,250. The suite price during off-peak schedules is at $7,350.

On the other hand, as part of the corporation's Single Traveler Share program, Fathom assures single travelers that company will combine individuals with other single travelers of the same gender who are interested in the same type of staterooms, as reported by the Examiner. However, if the brand may not find a suitable roommate, it will not charge the traveler the single supplement, which doubles the cost.

The double occupancy prizes for the seven-day routes to Cuba debut at $1,800 per person for an inside cabin in September and October. But the rates may differ depending on the accommodation option and the travel schedule. In addition, the fares exclude taxes, fees and port expenses, but will guarantee all meals on the ship.

Meanwhile, Fathom promises the travelers that there will be a few select impact activities with incremental costs for materials and supplies. Additional recreational activities and dining and beverage packages will also be charged separately. Final payments for travels are due 150 days before the departure. For now, travelers are also advised to begin tailoring their trips later this fall.
