Mountains outside the door. High seas inside.

You’re in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Then the lights dim, and suddenly you’re staring at a 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon where acrobatics are abundant, pirates clash, and mermaids dive beneath the water. That’s Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, Pigeon Forge’s most immersive dinner show experience.

Mini Summary: Pirates Voyage surrounds you with a full-scale pirate world (water, ships, sea life, and nonstop action).

Why Pirates Voyage Is Different (and Worth Booking Now)

1) Transports You from the Mountains to the High Seas

Pirates Cast on deck

Pirates Voyage surrounds you with a 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon and full-sized pirate ships, an immersive stage unlike anything else in town. Only in Pigeon Forge’s Pirates Voyage will you catch a vibrant South Pacific Celebration, a high-energy luau segment with towering tikis and jaw-dropping fire dancing that’s unique to this location.

In addition, expect acrobatics, sword fighting, music, and diving stunts that keep every age glued to the action.

Summary: Don’t miss the exclusive South Pacific energy (color, dance, and fire), only at the Pigeon Forge show, and enjoy acrobatics, diving stunts, and more high seas escapades.

2) Animals You Won’t See Anywhere Else in the Smokies

Come early to meet Salty the sea lion and watch him make a splash in the show alongside fellow animal stars, a crowd-favorite surprise you won’t find at other area dinner shows. Want an upgrade? Add the 30-minute Animal Encounter for educational, up-close interactions that the kids will talk about all vacation long. Tropical birds and daring dogs round out the cast of creatures you’ll cheer for.

Summary: Sea lions, dogs, and birds on stage, along with a dedicated Animal Encounter, make Pirates Voyage a must for animal-loving families.

3) Special Pre-Show Moments for All Ages

Arrive at least an hour before showtime to enjoy pre-show fun and photo ops around the venue. Keep an eye out for Salty in his outdoor habitat! The Join the Crew experience turns your crew into pirates or mermaids with face paint and accessories, a huge hit with kids (and the young at heart) for an additional fee. Interactive games and trivia also set the tone for an epic adventure.

Pro tip: Early arrival = better photos and makeover time before the main event.

4) A Hearty Pirate Feast (with Specialty Meals on Request)

Nearly two hours of continuous entertainment means you’ll enjoy your meal alongside nonstop action.

Summary: A full four-course feast plus specialty diet options means everyone at the table wins.

The on-site gift shop is packed with pirate-worthy souvenirs you won’t find anywhere else, including carefully handcrafted ships, ceramic mermaids, plush animals, toy swords, t-shirts, mugs, and the beloved take-home mix of Voyager Creamy Soup. It’s the perfect cap to a seaworthy evening.
