About Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show

Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show stands out as one of the top dinner theater experiences in the Smokies. This massive indoor theater features two full-sized pirate ships facing off in a 15-foot lagoon where the main action unfolds.

The show follows Blackbeard and Calico Jack leading their crews through sword fights, acrobatics, and diving stunts. Guests will see mermaids, tropical birds, and Salty the sea lion perform alongside the pirates.

The four-course feast gets served during the performance - chicken, ham, soup, biscuit, and dessert with unlimited drinks. While not fine dining, the food quality exceeds typical dinner show expectations.

Children particularly enjoy the pre-show pirate makeovers featuring costumes and face painting. Visitors should note that this venue gets extremely busy on weekends and holidays.

The VIP upgrade includes front-row seats and a meet-and-greet opportunity, though even the standard seating offers excellent views of the lagoon action.
