We are living in a time when it’s never been more important to be together and create experiences not to be forgotten,” said Leah Hicks, Corporate Director of Marketing for Pirates Voyage. “Families love experiencing all of the unique elements of our show – with ship-to-ship battles, cannons blazing, acrobatics and a delicious feast.”

As any pirate knows, searching for treasure can work up quite an appetite! So when visitors enter the arena for this swashbuckling spectacular, guests are served a hearty and delicious Four-Course Pirate Feast straight from Captain Blackbeard’s galley.
