About Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
Step into swashbuckling adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, where two massive pirate ships face off in a 15-foot-deep lagoon right in the heart of Pigeon Forge. This immersive dinner theater transforms an evening meal into an action-packed spectacle of sword fights, high-diving stunts, and aerial acrobatics led by the legendary Blackbeard and his rival Calico Jack.
The show delivers non-stop entertainment with professional performers executing precise choreography both above and below water. Keep your eyes peeled for graceful mermaids gliding through the lagoon, tropical birds soaring overhead, and the crowd-favorite Salty the sea lion showing off his tricks. Kids especially love arriving early for the optional pre-show pirate makeovers, complete with costumes and face painting.
While you watch the action unfold, servers bring out a hearty four-course feast including soup, chicken, ham, biscuits, and dessert. The unlimited drink service ensures your cup stays full throughout the two-hour performance. Though not gourmet dining, the food quality stands above typical dinner theater fare.
For the best experience, book tickets well in advance, particularly during peak tourist seasons. The VIP package offers prime front-row seating and meet-and-greet opportunities with the cast, though standard seats still provide clear views of all the action in the lagoon theater.
This Pigeon Forge dinner theater delivers solid value for families seeking evening entertainment that combines live action, music, comedy, and a full meal in one convenient package. The indoor venue operates year-round, making it a reliable choice regardless of weather.
