Now more than ever, the world needs us to reach out and spend time serving others. If you love to travel and are looking for trips where you can explore a new country, immerse yourself in a new culture, and make an impact with hands on work, there is a new travel experience – Fathom cruises. Fathom cruises are a new type of cruise, providing passengers the opportunity to do real, on-the-ground work in the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

We’ve teamed up with Fathom Travel and Natalie DiScala of Oh! Travelissima again for a special Twitter chat on March 29, 2016 at 4:00 pm PDT/7:00 pm EDT to help educate travelers on travel to the Dominican Republic and how these “Social Impact” cruises work to see if they are a good fit for your family. If you are interested in planning a trip to the Dominican Republic or Cuba, or learning more about social impact travel and how to get involved, this chat is for you.  

Travel builds connections with others (our own family and with local communities) and every Fathom cruise is focused on building that person-to-person connection. This spring 2016, Fathom will set sail for the first time on two  separate round-trip voyages from Miami to two of the Caribbean’s most desired destinations: the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Come learn about how you can work side by side with local residents in existing programs that focus on improving the lives of children, families and communities in the Dominican Republic. Here’s a sneak peek of the 7 night cruise itinerary aboard Fathom. Right now Fathom is running a BOGO (buy one get one ticket) offer for the 7 night immersive trip to the DR on sailings from April – June 2016.

Be sure to follow me  @HipTravelMama Natalie @NatalieDiScala, and @FathomTravel and the hashtag #TravelDeep to join the conversation.

Let’s travel AND do good. We will see you in the Twittersphere!
