2 make travel matter hen you get down to the root of it, travel is about exploration and discovery. The places you go and the things you do there reflect who you are and shape who you become. Right now, we have an opportunity to come alongside our friends, family, and partners in the Caribbean. In order for us to continue learning from each other and connecting in the future, we need to do our part. That s the spirit that spurred us to create Fathom. We travel differently. We don t just show you a culture, we bring you deep inside to understand it. We don t just introduce you to people, we start conversations that lead to amazing things. We don't just show you the world, we give you the chance to help grow its future. Be more than a visitor. Become a friend.

3 #TRAVELDEEP FATHOM.ORG the fathom story Like most great adventures, the first discussions about the concept that would become Fathom were held over a great meal. Tara Russell, Fathom's president, had always believed that there was an appetite among travelers to combine their passion for adventure with their desire for meaning, purpose and deep connection. Fathom was built through a global legacy of partnerships, success, and generosity within Carnival Corporation & plc. With the resources, infrastructure and reach of the world's largest travel & leisure company and a committed network of local partners, Fathom creates sustainable and scalable experiences that benefit communities and travelers alike. Through thoughtfully tailored onboard programming and a futureforward vision that can transform lives, Fathom gives travelers like you the chance to be part of a much larger story. We want to connect you not only with your world and its people, but with the passion that burns inside you. Tap into those feelings that keep you up at night; listen to that inner voice telling you to go ahead, take the reins, and leap headlong into your best life lived. We are Fathom. Let's make great things happen, together. Join our community at Making a dent in the universe should be more fun than anything else out there we believe it is and will continue to be. We hope you ll join us! TARA RUSSELL

For more information on what you can expect visit: What can I expect on-shore? We are currently building special shore excursions in each port location we will visit: Princess Cays, Bahamas, St Maarten, and St. Thomas. These shore excursions will provide local interactions with communities and people that we have partnered with for hands-on impact and/or cultural activities. Each shore excursion will be an additional nominal fee and will be voluntary. We will be updating details as they get finalized with each individual island, but below is what we're working on at this time: Princess Cays, Bahamas: We plan for this to be a day of relaxation for travelers to live in the moment, and experience the destination in their own way. We will list a few "Fathom Favorites" recommended (but not required) shore excursions that Princess currently offers that will be in line with our ethos: travel to get closer to the people and places of the destination. St. Maarten: This will be a "boots on the ground day". We are currently in the developmental stages to build a relevant shore excursion that is in response to what communities of St. Maarten actually need. We are in conversation with government officials and other personal contacts. This excursion will most likely be in support of local schools, students and educational programs. St. Thomas: This will be a "boots on the ground day". We are currently in the developmental stages to build a relevant shore excursion that is in response to what communities of St. Thomas actually need. We are in conversation with government officials and other personal contacts. This excursion will most likely be in support of local schools, students and educational programs.

7 What should I pack to wear? On the Ship: Casual sportswear, including shorts, lightweight pants and jogging suits, is the order of the day both at sea and ashore in hotter climates. We recommend you bring a sweater, a jacket or an allweather coat for cool evenings, and for shore excursions, depending on your destination. You'll also want comfortable shoes for strolling on deck. On Shore: Bring with you closed toed shoes and long pants, just in case. During on-shore excursions, be prepared for a hands on experience. What is a shore excursion and how do I make reservations? We will be updating via with information on all Fathom excursions. No excursions that we offer will be mandatory. We urge you to build and enjoy the vacation you want and look at all Princess has to offer. Exploring ports of call will be one of the highlights of your cruise, and one of the best ways to do this is on a shore excursion.

9 get closer to the islands we'll visit We'll take you on a journey to learn more about the past and present of these beautiful island nations... PRINCESS CAYES, BAHAMAS, Princess s exclusive port of call where you'll enjoy a private beach party on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. One hundred miles long and only two miles wide, Eleuthera offers unspoiled beaches. Princess Cays is situated on more than 40 acres and features over a half-mile of white-sand shoreline, all at the southern tip of the island. The resort boasts outstanding amenities while carefully preserving this natural paradise. Take in the views from the observation tower. Enjoy a complimentary beach barbecue. Sip a cool drink or browse the shops and the local craft market. All of Princess Cays' facilities are linked by walkways. Recreational activities abound. Enjoy volleyball and a full range of water sports, or simply relax on the beach. ST. MAARTEN offers a delightful case of split personality. Legend has it that a Frenchman and a Dutchman divided ownership of the island through a walk-off: Standing back to back, the two headed in opposite directions, walking around the island until they met. The French ended up claiming 21 square miles of the island to 16 square miles for the Dutch. No formal boundary exists between the Dutch and French sides of the island; a simple welcome sign tells you when you cross from one country to the other. And it's this split personality that lends so much to the island's charms, including an international reputation for the finest cuisine in the Caribbean. ST. THOMAS The US Virgin Islands are America's paradise, offering an easygoing blend of island ways and American practicality. St. Thomas, capital of the island group, offers every imaginable sport: snorkeling, golfing, hiking, and sailing. Just a few miles away lay St. John and Virgin Islands National Park. Stunning mountain scenery, crystalline waters, and white-sand beaches with palms swaying in the breeze - the US Virgin Islands are truly a slice of paradise. The harbor is easily one of the Caribbean's most scenic. The United States purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 million in gold. St. Thomas has a reputation as a duty free-mecca for shopping.
