Fort Young Hotel Welcomes Glorieux to its Dive Fleet

Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort, Dominica’s premier all-inclusive, island-included escape, is proud to announce the addition of its third dive boat, Glorieux, joining the fleet at the end of November 2025. Named after the historic 74-gun French ship of the line that fought valiantly at the Battle of the Saintes in 1782, Glorieux symbolizes resilience, exploration, and the spirit of discovery that defines the Fort Young dive experience. With a diver capacity of 22 and space for up to 30 passengers, this 36-foot Caribbean Macorix is built for bold underwater adventures, intimate group dives, private charters, and unforgettable in-water swim with the whales excursions.

The addition of Glorieux joins Fort Young’s existing vessels, Formidable and Zélè, continuing the tradition of honoring iconic French ships. With three boats now in operation, guests benefit from increased dive departures, more flexibility for group outings, and an even more personalized dive experience. These enhancements align with Fort Young’s broader vision of sustainable, locally led tourism and exceptional ocean exploration.

To celebrate this exciting expansion, Fort Young Hotel is offering an exclusive December Dive Madness package. Starting at just $999 per person (based on double occupancy), the package includes a seven-night stay (with one night free), daily breakfast, roundtrip airport transfers, five days of two-tank diving, complimentary shore diving, and all taxes and fees included. With limited availability, this is an unbeatable opportunity to dive deeper into Dominica’s world-renowned seascape. Book by October 31, 2025, for stays between November 29 and December 27, 2025.

Looking for even more dive flexibility? Take advantage of our Dive Getaway Package, now 30% off, starting at $1,566 per person (based on double occupancy). This offer is available to book by September 30, 2025, for travel anytime through December 31, 2026, making it the perfect opportunity to secure your underwater adventure well in advance.

Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of deep dives or the calm of reef exploration, Glorieux offers a new wave of adventure at Fort Young. Dive in, discover more, and experience the magic of Dominica from above and below the surface.
