About Fathom Travel to Cuba
On May 1, 2016, Fathom became the first cruise
company to sail from the U.S. to Cuba in more than 50 years.
Fathom's round-trip culturally immersive cruise itinerary initially
features experiences in the Cuban port cities of Havana, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba, providing travelers the
opportunity to enjoy a rich and vibrant culture that until now most
U.S. travelers have only seen in photographs. Designed for rich
immersion and ease of travel, the Fathom Cuban itinerary offers
passengers a comfortable cabin including all the amenities of a
modern hotel, plus the luxury of having to unpack only once. Every
night, Fathom travelers return to the comforts of the MV Adonia,
where they can relax knowing that all the details of getting from
location to location in Cuba are
handled.
