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. The always daring and dramatic tale features pirates, mermaids, high seas escapades and romance, complemented with a captain’s feast to fuel the epic voyage.
The show’s newest adventure finds the swashbuckling pirates veering slightly off course and landing in an unknown port in their never-ending search for more treasure. There, they find a talented and energetic group of South Pacific islanders who combine rhythmic movement, colorful costumes, roaring voices, and exciting vocal and musical exclamations for a South Pacific Celebration that is epic and not to be missed on any trip to Pigeon Forge.
"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!"
From the show’s Buccaneer Bay, a colorful and fearless crew of characters create an immersive adventure combining acrobatics, pyrotechnics, animals, music and all things pirate for a treasure chest of memories. The uniquely-exciting Pirates Voyage showcases the thrill of sword fights, cannons blasting and pirates scaling high above two full-sized pirate ships in a “fight” to win Davy Jones’ coveted sunken treasure. Beautiful mermaids gracefully perform high above the water in Buccaneer Bay, while a couple of castaways that include a “Salty” sea lion win a battle with Captain Blackbeard through clever antics and pirate wit. An adventurous crew of characters then combines heroics and high-flying fun that will have guests cheering and experiencing thrills around every corner in an epic battle for lost treasure on land, on deck, and in the water of the show’s 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon.
As visitors enter the hideaway lagoon for this Dinner & Show spectacular, guests are served that hearty four-course feast straight from Captain Blackbeard’s galley. Guests will start the delicious part of this Pirates Voyage with voyager creamy vegetable soup and buccaneer biscuit. The feast fit for a pirate – or mermaid – continues with the crew’s secret recipe cracklin’ pan-fried chicken, swashbucklin’ sugar-cured ham, buttery corn on the cob and matey’s mac and cheese. For dessert, there’s a choice of either a flaky apple turnover or chocolate coconut cake, served with unlimited Coca-Cola® products, tea or coffee to complete the meal. Vegetarian and gluten-free meals are available by request.

After a wildly-adventurous and successful debut June 2025, Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is in final preparations to set sail for its second swashbuckling season on Friday, February 6, 2026.
As Dolly will tell you, this fantastic voyage and its colorful crew of characters combines adventure, acrobatics, animals and all things pirate for a treasure chest of memories not to be forgotten.
"What a thrill it has been to bring my Pirates Voyage to Florida," Dolly said. "We had such a great first season, and now my pirate crew is back and ready for more! Watching families enjoy the show together and seeing how much people love it has been such a dream come true. This show’s got it all, and it’s so much fun, you’ll want to see it again and again. So if you haven’t been, what are you waiting for? Come join our crew!"
The uniquely-exciting adventure that is Pirates Voyage combines the thrill of sword fights, cannons and pirates scaling high above two full-sized pirate ships in a “fight” to win Davy Jones’ coveted sunken treasure. Captain Blackbeard and his quartermaster Calico Jack lead the Crimson and Sapphire crews in this epic battle for treasure on land, on deck, in water and high above each crew’s pirate ship in Buccaneer Bay, a 15-foot-deep indoor hideaway lagoon located at the heart of the 60,000 square foot indoor theater.
Beautiful mermaids gracefully perform high above the water before diving and disappearing back into Buccaneer Bay, while a couple of castaways that include a “Salty” sea lion win a battle with Captain Blackbeard through clever antics and pirate wit. At one point, the entire crew ventures a bit off course and find themselves docked in what they thought was a deserted South Pacific island, where a rhythmic celebration of powerful percussion, exciting vocals and even a fire dancer take center stage. Guests will feel the heat of the lagoon on fire and shiver as skeletons appear from the deep and from the sky. This cavalier crew of characters combines heroics and high-flying fun that will have guests cheering and experiencing thrills around every corner.
In its inaugural season, the cast and crew in Pirates Voyage’ Buccaneer Bay performed seven days a week for a total of more than 325 shows in just more than seven months, including holiday shows throughout November and December. "The response and feedback from guests during our first season was just extraordinary," said Leah Hicks, Vice President of Marketing for Pirates Voyage. "Families love experiencing our show and having fun together while creating great memories. We can’t wait for more and more families to have that kind of fun and excitement at Pirates Voyage, and in 2026, we have a full season from February 6 to early January in 2027 for people to experience our unique brand of fun. It’s perfect for swashbucklers, pirates, mermaids and more, and the food alone makes the show one-of-a-kind!"
The adventure actually begins in the Pirates Village, where younger swashbucklers as well as parents and grandparents can “Join the Crew” and be transformed into mermaids and pirates before the main show begins. As visitors enter the arena for this Dinner and Show spectacular, guests are served a fabulous four-course feast straight from Captain Blackbeard’s galley that makes Pirates Voyage the most unique place to eat in Panama City Beach. Guests will start this delicious part of their Pirates Voyage with warm Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup and a Buccaneer Biscuit. The feast fit for pirates and mermaids alike continues with a Half O’ Roasted Chicken and Me Hearties Pulled Pork, accompanied by a side of Cob-O’ Buttery Corn and Matey’s Mashed Potatoes. No meal is complete without a delicious dessert, and the mouthwatering Apple O’ Me Eye Pie will hit the spot. Unlimited Coca-Cola, tea or coffee are served with every meal; vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals are available upon request.

The swashbuckling and adventurous crew from Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Myrtle Beach veer slightly off course this spring and find themselves docked in an unknown port in their never-ending search for more treasure. This new experience for the pirates, “South Pacific Celebration,” adds even more excitement and fun to the popular Myrtle Beach show throughout the 2026 season.
"I've been lucky to travel all around the world and see so many incredible types of entertainment," said Dolly. "One thing I’ve always loved is the way music and culture come together in different parts of the world, especially the vibrant rhythms and colors of island life. I always try to bring something new and unexpected to my shows, and since not everyone gets the opportunity to visit a Polynesian island, I thought, well, why not bring a little bit of that magic right here to Myrtle Beach? I can’t wait for folks to see this amazing new part of my Pirates Voyage show – it’s like a tropical getaway wrapped up in one big, exciting celebration!"
Hoping to find mermaids, gold and perhaps more sea lion friends, the Buccaneer Bay crew stumbles upon a talented and energetic group of inhabitants on what they thought was a deserted Polynesian island. The native islanders specialize in a welcoming rhythmic celebration composed of the dramatic and powerful sounds of percussion on their beautiful native drums. The combination of rhythmic movement, colorful costumes, roaring voices, and exciting vocal and musical exclamations make “South Pacific Celebration” a truly memorable experience.
This island performance gives way to a “fiery” finish and ends the pirates’ time on the island, with one of the natives showcasing his skills to light up the adventure. Even the sky above the scene becomes part of the act, as colorful island architecture and a grand display of giant flowers in full bloom surround the entertaining dance of the islanders.
The excursion to this unknown island for a “South Pacific Celebration” will provide Pirates Voyage dinner show guests with an unforgettable visual and sound journey with special effects, brilliant costuming, pyrotechnics and more.
The brand-new “South Pacific Celebration” experience just adds to the fun of the swashbuckling adventure that is Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show. All guests will enjoy a fabulous four-course feast while experiencing an immersive adventure with sword fights, cannons, mermaids, live animals and, of course, pirates, pirates and more pirates. A crew of characters combines heroics and high-flying acrobatic fun that has guests cheering and experiencing thrills around every corner in an epic battle on land, on deck and in the water of the show’s 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon. Additionally, guests will start the delicious part of their Pirates Voyage with a four-course feast of Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup, a Buccaneer Biscuit, Half O’ Roasted Chicken and Swashbucklin’ Sugar-Cured Ham, Cob-O’ Buttery Corn, Matey’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese and a choice of desserts.
