When visiting the Smokies in 2026, the first step in charting a course for adventure and fun begins at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show. This swashbuckling show brings guests close to the exciting exploits of pirate legends and lore as its eighth season sets sail on Friday, February 6.

"My crew at Pirates Voyage have everything ship shape as we get ready for this season’s adventures with our cast of pirates, mermaids, islanders, sea lions and so much more," said Dolly. "The incredible performers in my Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show bring to life an adventure that I just know families will love as much as I do. Watching the show with all the music, the special effects and those amazing performers makes me feel like I’m a kid again! If you’re visiting Pigeon Forge, you won’t want to miss all the fun, the action and one of the heartiest, tastiest meals in the Smokies!"
