Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show is a dinner theater located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Pirates Voyage is owned by entertainer Dolly Parton and managed by World Choice Investments LLC, a joint venture between The Dollywood Company, Fred Hardwick, and Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation.[1]

On September 22, 2010, Parton announced the Myrtle Beach theater would close for refurbishment after 18 years service as the Dixie Stampede show for conversion to a pirate themed show. The new show features Blackbeard, a pirate with a history along the North and South Carolina coasts. Upgrades to the theater included installation of a 15 foot (4.6 m) deep, 750,000 US gallons (2,800,000 L; 620,000 imp gal) pool, theatrical lighting and rigging for acrobats.[2][3] During November and December, the show includes Christmas elements.[4] In December 2023, Parton announced that Pirates Voyage would be opening a third location in Panama City Beach, Florida the new location is expected to break ground in 2024 and is slated to open in the spring of 2025.
