Fathom rolls out generous travel agent booking incentives

Fathom rolls out generous travel agent booking incentives
Fathom's new 'Agents of Possibility' campaign provides a range of limited-time, early-booking offers for travel agency clients selling 2017 sailings to Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

The program also includes opportunities for agents to earn points toward prizes. Every month, two agents registered for the program will be awarded a trip for two on a Dominican Republic cruise. Agents can pass the cruise on to a client they feel deserves 'new possibilities.'

'Every day travel professionals deal in a world of possibilities, helping to open up the world to their clients through amazing travel experiences,' said Ron Fenska, vp sales. '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.'

Through Dec. 31, agents can register to participate in the 'Agents of Possibility' promotion. They'll earn points for their agencies for every client booked for a 2017 Fathom sailing. Two points will be awarded for each passenger going to the Dominican Republic and one point for each passenger going to Cuba.

Points accrue by agency, and each month the agency with the most points will win a chance to select a prize from the 'Agents of Possibility' prize list. When the campaign concludes in December, the agency with the most overall points will be awarded a mystery grand prize.

In addition to prizes for points earned, each month Fathom will select at random two agencies to receive free travel for two aboard Adonia to the Dominican Republic. Fathom invites winning agencies to provide the sailings to clients who deserve an opportunity to experience Fathom.

The 'Agents of Possibility' program is supported by early-booking offers for clients.

These include, for sailings to the Dominican Republic between Dec. 4, 2016, and May 21, 2017, $400 off in an inside cabin, $600 savings in an ocean-view room, $800 in a balcony cabin and $1,200 in a suite.

For cruises to the Dominican Republic between June 4 and Dec. 31, the savings are $200 on inside rooms, $400 for ocean-view cabins, $600 for balcony rooms and $1,000 in suites.

For Cuba sailings between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, the savings are $200 off inside cabins, $400 off ocean-view rooms, $600 off balcony cabins and $1,000 off suites.

All the savings are per person, for the first two passengers in the room.
