If it’s a pirate’s life for you, you have to look and dress the part. No one knows that better than Dolly Parton and her professional team getting the cast and crew ready for the debut of Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Panama City Beach, Florida, which “officially” will open on Friday, June 6.
"Creating has always been a joy for me, and I love getting dressed up in fancy outfits, so getting to help dream up the costumes for my new Pirates Voyage has been so exciting," said Dolly. "Every one of these outfits helps bring the story to life, from the bold colors of the pirate crews to the glitter and shimmer on our beautiful mermaids. Even our servers are dressed for the adventure! I think folks are going to feel the magic and excitement the moment they walk through the doors."
Every costume has been custom-designed and fabricated in-house for each individual performer, including embellishments fitting to the specific character. In excess of 800 yards of specialized fabric was used to make the show’s costumes, and more than 2400 hours over the course of several months were spent designing, creating and bringing the Pirates Voyage unique look to life. The swords, all custom-designed and custom-made, are unique to each character and took eight weeks to complete just for the Pirates Voyage show.
In addition to costuming, ships fit for holding plenty of pirates’ loot in Pirates Voyage Buccaneer Bay have arrived in Panama City Beach. After eight weeks of construction by the creative team and being transported aboard 10 semi-trucks, everything is looking ship-shape at the new dinner show location. The enormous 28-foot ships were designed off-site, then taken apart for shipping before being reassembled inside the Pirates Voyage facility.
Teams also are setting up the extensive rigging for the multitude of stunts performed throughout the show that will have audience members believing in mystical mermaids and amazed by pirate feats. Another 10 trucks have delivered scenery pieces for the theater’s interior that will play an integral part in the adventurous ambiance of the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.
Following an extensive nationwide talent search for the perfect pirate crew, the cast has been in rehearsals and intense training for the acrobatic and diving skills required of pirates and mermaids alike in the show.
"After the set is finalized, we’ll welcome our cast of colorful pirates to begin their practices aboard ship in our lagoon. They already have completed extensive training at our Myrtle Beach facility, and they are excited to begin practicing the show in Panama City Beach and create all the exciting stunts in this arena where guests will begin to see their performances later this month (in May,)" Corporate Director of Entertainment David Major said.
Pirates Voyage construction is a $60 million project. Reservations now are being taken for all 2025 shows beginning in June; ticket information is available at piratesvoyage.com.

The excitement is building in Panama City Beach, as the construction of Dolly Parton’s Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show continues to take shape. The venue’s marquee sign was put in place the first week in February, and the theming of the building exterior is about to get underway.
"We’re still going 'overboard' with the details as we prepare everything – it’s so exciting to see the big Pirates Voyage sign has gone up, and Buccaneer Bay is coming to life," Dolly said. "Like I’ve been telling you, this is going to be a show that guests to Panama City Beach are not going to want to miss."
The excavation of the first – and biggest – indoor task of "building" the lagoon, the centerpiece of the set that will house the two pirate ships where the action of the entire show takes place, has been completed. The floor slab of the lagoon has been poured with the walls starting this week. After all this is completed, the 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon will be filled by 600,000 gallons of water.
In addition to the lagoon, flooring throughout the venue is being installed, and the final coats of paint are making it onto the building’s interior walls. Additionally, the venue’s exterior theming is being staged in the parking lot, and the sea lion habitat construction has begun.
In January, tickets went on sale for dates starting on June 1, and the menu for the four course pirate feast was revealed. Now an extensive nationwide talent search for the crew begins, and a hiring event in late March will bring aboard the cast of hundreds who will get everything ship-shape and ready to open. Positions will be hired in the areas of culinary, guest services, maintenance and more.
The $60 million project is set to be complete in late spring 2025. Tickets are available now by visiting piratesvoyage.com. For Panama City Beach visitors who already have their vacation dates planned, it is suggested to go ahead and reserve tickets now for the exciting inaugural season of Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.
