VOYAG ES
to Cuba beginning May 2016
A Meeting of People. And Cultures.
Fathom offers mindful travelers a truly historic opportunity: a chance
to help build new bridges to a rich and vibrant culture that hasn’t been
open to U.S. visitors for more than 50 years.
Fathom is proud to be among the first companies to be granted
sailing rights to Cuba. Our intention is to develop cultural immersion
experiences that give you and your fellow travelers the rare chance
to learn more about the everyday lives of the Cuban people – and
to harness the power of human connection to make relevant, lasting
contributions that will continue to have an impact long after your ship
sets sail on the return journey to Miami.
ON SHORE
A TYPICAL ITINERARY MIGHT INCLUDE:
YOU R
JOU RN EY
PRE-TRIP
As you plan for your journey, we’ll be
sending you suggestions for home
projects, reading and other activities that
can help prepare you for your journey.
ON BOARD
Your outbound journey will include
on-board orientation to Cuba’s history,
customs and culture, including guided
sessions with the FathomTM team for the
sharing of insights and ideas about the
future of cultural exchange travel to Cuba
and the opportunities for social impact.
You’ll put your on-board orientation to good
use as you spend your days in people-topeople exchanges in locations throughout
the country. You’ll meet the Cuban people
one on one through cultural, artistic,
educational and humanitarian activities.
You’ll explore the historic architecture of
Cuban cities, share stories and insights with
artists, musicians and micro-entrepreneurs,
enjoy some genuine Cuban cuisine, and
maybe even practice your Spanish as you
help local students practice their English.
RETURN
Your return voyage will offer ample time
for self-reflection, and for sharing your
experiences and thoughts with your fellow
travelers, to help you find ways of continuing
your personal journey after you’re back
home in your own community.
See Cuba as
the Cubans
See It
Your itinerary for your Fathom voyage to
Cuba will be authorized under current
U.S.-to-Cuba travel guidelines, which
allow travel to Cuba for the purpose of
engaging in activities that support the
Cuban people. And support, you’ll find,
takes many forms. As a Fathom traveler,
you’ll have the opportunity to interact,
one on one, with the artists, musicians,
small-business owners, students, health
workers and others who make up the
fabric of Cuban society. And you’ll quickly
realize that what you can learn from them
is every bit as important as what they can
learn from you.
If you’re serious in your desire to immerse
yourself in another culture, this is your
invitation to join us. With your help,
Fathom’s program of cultural, artistic, and
humanitarian exchanges can create new
bonds between the people of the U.S.
and Cuba, support increased economic
activity, and encourage the Cuban people
to share their stories more completely
with the world.
And, as you’ll discover, they do have
stories worth sharing.
YO U R HOM E AT SE A
The 710-passenger Adonia will serve as a comfortable home base
throughout your trip. With restaurants, lounges, bars, pools, a spa, a stateof-the-art gym, and all the other amenities of a 21st-century passenger ship,
you’ll never lack for opportunities to relax. Thoughtfully prepared, Cubaninspired meals will nourish your body. And, of course, there’s the infinite
mystery of the wide open sea around you. So your spirit gets a bit of extra
nourishment too.
SAI LI N G DATES 20 1 6
In addition to its built-in amenities, the Adonia was purposely chosen for this
journey because it’s small enough to let you get genuinely acquainted with
your fellow travelers: the people who share your commitment to meaningful
travel, the people who’ll be part of your Cuban experience onshore. And, for
the Fathom voyager, that could be the most important amenity of all.
