The  Showboat Branson Belle Dinner Cruise  is the most entertaining way to spend time on the lake, and it’s a lake adventure that comes with an exciting variety show, one that’s filled with music, comedy, dancing, magic, a sensational meal, and even more!  Both noon and evening cruise guests will be treated to a wide range of music, including songs from the 1960s to the big hits of today, as well as your favorite soundtracks from mega movie classics like Risky Business, Ghostbusters, and Titanic. There’s also a phenomenal live band that backs up the show’s incredible singers, along with the Showboat Dancers, who offer a brilliant display of rhythm and fancy footwork that makes them deserving of a show all by themselves!  (Scroll down for information on Showboat Branson Belle 's Christmas Cruise.)

Sporting the nostalgic appearance of a yesteryear river boat, the  Showboat Branson Belle  offers a wonderful experience all on its own. Appearing much like the kind of vessels that were once plentiful along the Mississippi, this 1890s style paddle wheeler makes for a majestic site on beautiful Table Rock Lake.  In addition to an incomparable show, guests aboard the enormous 700-passenger Showboat have the opportunity to truly appreciate this incredible jewel of a lake with the boat’s 360-degree views and multi-level decks. Take in the gorgeous landscape of the lake and the Ozarks hills that surround it; feel free to explore the three upper decks of the ship, and visit with the Captain in his pilot-house, one that features a six-foot vintage captain’s wheel.  

Your Showboat experience will include a delicious meal, prepared right there in the ship’s galley and served in the ship’s atrium-style dining theater prior to settling in for the show.  The culinary part of your lake adventure aboard the ship offers several options.

Showboat Branson Belle: Dinner Cruise on Table Rock Lake

The Showboat Branson Belle captures the essence of Branson. It brings together the waves of the lake with the captivating live entertainment that Branson is known so well for. Find out what's on board this dinner cruise and make Branson Belle part of your itinerary on your next trip to Branson, Missouri.

Heads up: This page contains Amazon affiliate links. That means if you click and buy—we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.   Read more about it here.

If you’re visiting the Ozarks, one thing you’ll want to do for sure is get on the water. But if you don’t have your own boat , that could pose a problem. Renting a boat is expensive and so is buying one (not to mention maintaining it and hauling it around). 

The alternative? Buy tickets to a dinner cruise . These cruises usually provide food, entertainment, and fun on the water for several hours. And you can experience it all for a fraction of the price of boating. Branson’s Table Rock Lake has its very own dinner cruise called the Showboat Branson Belle.

What is Showboat Branson Belle?

Branson Belle is a showboat. That means that it is staffed with entertainers (singers, dancers, actors, magicians, comedians, and other performing artists). You can expect to schedule your experience ahead for a specific departure time.

Typically, the showboat departs at noon, 4pm and 8pm.

When you arrive, you and other guests will have your photo taken, and then you can make your way to your assigned seats. From there, your server will greet you and grab your drink order.

The show starts shortly after and includes many types of performers, including a fan-favorite comedic magician. 

During intermission, you’ll get to explore the deck of the boat and enjoy beautiful views of Table Rock Lake.

There's about 20 minutes to spend on the deck of the boat during intermission, but you're welcome to enjoy it at any time during your cruise.

While you're aboard, you might get lucky enough to grab an autograph from one of the performers before you depart.

Seating Options

There are two ticketing options available for Showboat Branson Belle: General Admission and Captain’s Club. Here’s the difference:

General Seating

Regular tickets include banquet-style seating (long tables with chairs facing the stage) and a standard menu for your 3-course meal. The seating is actually closer to the stage than the Captain’s Club seating, but you’re in rows on a level floor, so your view may be obstructed by guests in front of you.

 The meal is the same for all guests in general seating and includes:

Wedge Salad

For Adults: Pot Roast, Chicken, Green Beans, & Mashed Potatoes with dinner roll

For Kids: Chicken nuggets, Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, & Applesauce

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Captain’s Club

Captain’s Club is an upgraded seating option.

It includes premium menu choices from a selection of four entrees:

Even kids in Captain's Club seating get treated with a choice between chicken tenders or prime rib.

Captain's club guests have another decision to make: dessert. You'll have your choice of four desserts with a Captain’s Club upgrade (various cake options, including cheesecake).

Captain’s club tickets come with priority boarding (an hour earlier than general admission), and include elevated balcony seats onboard to ensure you can get an unobstructed view of the show.

This was my first time on the Branson Belle and I enjoyed everything. The staff were very nice, the food was good and the performers were amazing.

Great night! We purchased the 8 pm captains club dinner club. You pay more but the upgraded food and beverage was worth the cost. Great entertainment and a beautiful view of the sunset over Table Rock Lake!

Worse experience I had in Branson! We was left to find our own table and the seats was so close together we couldn’t scoot our chairs up and sat up against each other and the neighbor! The chicken was greasy and all bone ! The green beans was also Grady and don’t get me started on the teaspoon of mashed potatoes! I ended throwing up half way through the entertainment which was not good at all. Horrible time and too expensive for the quality of food and sitting arrangements!!! Will never go again and recommend others save your money!

My husband and I always enjoy the Showboat. Wonderful meal and show and a great trip around Table Rock Lake.

Branson Showboat Dinner Cruise

We have vacationed many times in Branson through the years, but we had never been on the Branson Belle.

Here’s a list of the Best Things To Do In Branson That All Ages Will Love

This time, however, I was determined to fit it into our schedule! One of the first things I checked into was getting tickets for our planned November trip to Branson.

We had driven to and over Table Rock Dam and thought this would be a great way to see Table Rock Lake and view the Ozark Mountains too.

We were in luck because Branson Belle’s Christmas Show is known as America’s Most Entertaining Christmas Cruise!

After experiencing the dinner show cruise – we certainly agree!

The Showboat Branson Belle’s Christmas Dinner Show was one of the best shows we’ve seen in Branson.

History of The Showboat Branson Belle

The Branson Belle Showboat is part of the Silver Dollar City Attractions . Known as the Queen of the Ozarks, she is themed after the majestic showboat from the 1800s

To give you some perspective of its size, the Branson Showboat is four stories high and is nearly the length of a football field!

We had so much fun exploring the wrap-around decks during the intermission and watching the paddles turn. Although it was November, the views from the boat were spectacular.

Fun Fact: The Showboat Branson Belle was launched on August 13, 1994, from the lakeside shipyard using two tons of bananas as a lubricant. It took nine seconds to slide her into the water!

Showboat Branson Belle Tickets

There are two types of tickets to purchase for the dinner cruise: General Seating and Captain’s Club.

General Seating includes banquet-style seating and a standard three-course meal.

Captain’s Club Seating includes priority boarding one hour before cruise time and a selection from the Captain’s Premium menu.

There is quite a bit of difference between the two ticket prices:

General Seating Tickets start at $63 per person for Adults (ages 12+) / $36 per person for Kids (ages 4-11) plus tax. Ages 3 and under are free.

Captain’s Club Tickets start at $93 per person for Adults (ages 12+) / $56 per person for Kids (ages 4-11) plus tax. Ages 3 and under are free.

We decided to purchase the Captain’s Club tickets for our family to get priority boarding for my elderly father, who has trouble walking distances so he would not have to stand in the long general boarding line.

Was it worth the extra cost? What did we get for being Captain’s Club ticket holders?

That’s a great question!

Here’s our experience on the Branson Belle so you can decide which ticket to purchase for your family!

Arrival And Boarding The Showboat Branson Belle

Being from New York, one of the first things we think about is parking. As we turned into White River Landing where the Branson Belle is docked, we were happy to see that there is ample parking for the Showboat!

Our cruise was at 3:00 p.m. so we arrived around 1:45. Boarding is one hour before the cruise.

Since it was during Thanksgiving, the entire walkway and dock area were decorated for Christmas! One of the first things you should do is stop to take a photo with the Polar Bears!

It was quite a long walk to the dock and boarding area, but there were plenty of benches along the way to sit and rest.

All I could think about, however, was that the walk TO the dock area was all downhill, which meant that coming back up to the parking lot would be much more difficult for my father.

In hindsight, I should have requested a wheelchair – especially for the walk back – but we made it both ways!

While you wait to board, White River Landing has two specialty shops with souvenirs and elegant ladies’ apparel, jewelry, and accessories. Plus, singers from the dinner show entertained us while we waited.

There is plenty of seating in the dock area, and we were thankful that my dad could just sit and relax until the Captain’s Club Ticket holders were called to board.

We only had to wait a few minutes before it was our turn to board the Branson Belle.

When you reach the paddleboat, they will take a commemorative photo of your group. During intermission, they will come to your seat to see if you want to purchase the photo.

Dinner On The Showboat Branson Belle

After being directed to our Premium Seats, our server came to take our order. The Captain’s Club menu has a very nice selection of menu and dessert options.

Captain’s Club Adult Menu

All entrees are served with a Wedge Salad topped with Bleu Cheese dressing and Hot Rolls with Butter.

Entree – select one of the following:

• 21-Day Dry Aged Signature Angus Ribeye – topped with house-made roasted garlic shallot butter. Served with parmesan baby baker potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables.
• Breaded Chicken Breast in delicate butter sauce, served with wild rice and fresh seasonal vegetables.
• Grilled Prime Bone-In Center-Cut Pork Chop served with parmesan baby baker potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables.
• Pan Seared Trout Fillets – Lightly floured and topped with pecans and fresh-squeezed lemon. Served with Wild Rice and fresh seasonal vegetables.

Dessert Selections:

• Caramel Pecan Cheesecake
• Chocolate Lover’s Cake
• Lemon Mousse Cake
• Ooey Gooey Butter Cake topped with Raspberry Drizzle and powdered sugar

Beverage Selections:

• Coca-Cola™ beverages

Captain’s Club Children’s Menu

All entrees are served with fresh green beans, a Wedge Salad topped with Bleu Cheese dressing, and Hot Rolls with Butter.

• Grilled Prime- Cut Pork Loin served with parmesan baby baker potatoes.
• Chicken Tenders – served with Macaroni & Cheese.
• Ooey Gooey Butter Cake topped with Raspberry Drizzle and Powdered Sugar
• Coco-Cola™ beverages

We made our dinner and dessert selections and were served our salad before the general boarding ticket holders walked in.

Our premium elevated table seats were perfect. We had great views of the stage where the magician, singers, and dancers performed.

General Observations About The Branson Belle Ticket Types

From our observations, there are several differences besides being called to board the Branson Belle first between the General Tickets and the Captain’s Club tickets.

One is the seating type.

General Seating tickets are banquet-style seating on the main floor level. Since our seats were elevated, I really can’t comment on whether there were any seats where their view was blocked by the guest in front of them or not.

Everyone in the general seating area was having just as good a time as we were in the premium seating area.

Plus, they were called on more often to come to the stage! So, if that’s something you LOVE to do, you might want to consider purchasing this type of ticket!

The main difference we saw was in the meals. The General Ticket holders did not have the selection of entrees, desserts, or beverages that we did.

Showboat Branson Belle General Seating Menu

Wedge Salad with Vidalia Onion dressing and fresh seasonal vegetables, hot rolls & butter

Adult Entree – select one

• Rotisserie Chicken Thighs served with fresh green beans and garlic mashed potatoes
• Pot Roast with demi-glace served with fresh green beans and garlic mashed potatoes

Dessert – Ooey Gooey Butter Cake topped with Raspberry DRizzle and Powdered Sugar

Beverage – Iced Tea & Coffee

General Seating Children’s Menu

• Chicken Nuggets
• Macaroni & Cheese
• Green Beans
• Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
• 2% Milk or Juice

As you can see, there are quite a few more choices for Captain’s Club ticket holders. There were five people in our party and we all chose the Signature Angus Ribeye.

It did not disappoint!

For dessert, I chose the Lemon Mousse cake. My dad had the Caramel Pecan Cheesecake and the others chose the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake.

All were delicious!

Branson Belle Dinner Show

The Master of Ceremonies for the show is a magician. He is very entertaining and brings guests on stage for several of his magic tricks.

We loved the singers and dancers who performed. All musicians were very talented and performed all genres to appeal to all ages in the audience.

They were accompanied by a 4-piece band who could play and sing as well. All of the performers were fantastic musicians and dancers and we enjoyed the show very much!

Topside On The Branson Belle

During intermission, we got up to go to the top level of the showboat to see the views.
