Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Panama City Beach is preparing for the holidays with a new Christmas adventure unparalleled by any other experience on Florida’s Emerald Coast this Christmas season.

Opening Friday, November 6 and continuing through January 2, 2027, the lovable and boisterous crew of characters led by Captain Blackbeard is bringing the “Yo Ho” to the season’s “Ho Ho Ho” while searching for a lost treasure of Christmas gifts and serving up a bountiful four-course holiday feast.

In the new Christmas at Pirates Voyage show, a mysterious traveler in red arrives in Buccaneer Bay to find that his satchel of gifts has gone missing on Christmas Eve. Captain Blackbeard and his first mate Calico Jack join in the hunt for the missing holiday treasure that must be found before midnight so that Christmas can be saved. The show’s audience is recruited to join in the search through a series of adventures with the Crimson and Emerald pirate crews until the gifts are found. And when Captain Blackbeard tries on the traveler’s red coat, he finds the true spirit of Christmas and experiences the reverence of the first Christmas through an inspiring live Nativity. 

Christmas at Pirates Voyage offers additional holiday fun with amazing acrobatics from the Crimson and Emerald pirate crews high above Buccaneer Bay as well as merriment and humor from a comical Christmas castaway and her jolly sea lion companion.

As always, this adventure begins in the Pirates Village, where younger swashbucklers as well as parents and grandparents can “Join the Christmas Crew” and be transformed into holiday mermaids and yuletide-themed pirates before the main show begins. The four-course holiday feast straight from Captain Blackbeard’s Christmastime galley makes Pirates Voyage the most unique place to eat on Florida’s Emerald Coast. The meal begins with warm Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup and a Buccaneer Biscuit. The feast fit for pirates and mermaids and even Santa himself 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 holiday dessert, with guests having a choice of Apple O’ Me Eye Pie or rich chocolate coconut cake. Unlimited Coca-Cola, tea or coffee are served with every meal; vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals are available upon request. 

“We’re excited to give families a whole new way to experience Pirates Voyage and celebrate Christmas together,” said David Swangel, General Manager of Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show. “Our new holiday adventure combines a search for lost Christmas treasure, incredible performances, plenty of laughs and surprises, and a meaningful celebration of the true spirit of the season. We hope it becomes a Christmas tradition families look forward to sharing year after year.”

This swashbuckling Christmas adventure is sure to warm the hearts of all who visit and generate holiday memories for years to come.  For more information about the holiday show at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, please visit our ticketing page.
