Guests are in for a treat when they visit Pirates Voyage this holiday season. The swashbuckling fun of Pirates Voyage Christmas begins Nov. 5 and lasts until Jan. 2.

Throughout his journey, he sees the error of his ways and embraces the true spirit of Christmas.
Guests cheer on their favorite pirate crew as they compete for the Christmas treasure. The finale is a true Christmas celebration, with treasure chests and trees coming out of the water and ornaments descending from the sky.
Of course, no Christmas celebration would be complete without a feast!
