Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Panama City Beach, Florida, is set to launch a new holiday production starting November 6, 2025. The Christmas-themed show will run through January 3, 2026, and features Captain Blackbeard and his crew on a quest for missing Christmas gifts.
The show introduces a storyline where a mysterious traveler in red loses his bag of gifts on Christmas Eve. Captain Blackbeard and first mate Calico Jack join the search to recover the lost presents before midnight. Audience members are encouraged to participate in the adventure alongside the Crimson and Emerald pirate crews. The performance concludes with Captain Blackbeard discovering the true meaning of Christmas during a live Nativity scene.
Dolly Parton commented on the upcoming event: “I’ve always said I love mixing my pirates’ ‘Yo Ho’ with a little holiday ‘Ho Ho Ho!’ Bringing Pirates Voyage to Panama City Beach was another dream come true, and now we’re decking the decks for my favorite time of year. This new holiday show is full of laughs, adventure and just the right touch of Christmas magic. So come enjoy great food and fun and start a brand-new tradition with us—it’s a Holly Dolly, Jolly Roger Christmas like no other!”
In addition to acrobatics performed by pirate crews above Buccaneer Bay, there will be comedic acts featuring a castaway character and her sea lion companion. Guests can begin their experience in Pirates Village, where children and adults have an opportunity to dress up as pirates or mermaids before the main event.
The dinner portion includes Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup, Buccaneer Biscuit, Half O’ Roasted Chicken, Me Hearties Pulled Pork, Cob-O’ Buttery Corn, Matey’s Mashed Potatoes, dessert options of Apple O’ Me Eye Pie or chocolate coconut cake, and unlimited beverages. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals are available upon request.
Dolly Parton’s dinner shows have operated since 1988 across multiple locations including Pigeon Forge (Tennessee), Branson (Missouri), Myrtle Beach (South Carolina), and Panama City Beach (Florida). These venues offer themed entertainment experiences that combine theatrical productions with family-style dining.
