Showboat Branson Belle decks the decks for holiday cruises
Decorated with lights, wreaths and garland for the holidays, the 700-seat Showboat Branson Belle presents holiday cruises with stunning views of Christmas lights along the shoreline of Table Rock Lake, November 2 through New Year’s Eve. Guests can stroll the decks of Branson’s grandest lake attraction for views of the lake and hillsides in lights, and then take a seat in the dining theater for the holiday Showstoppers! show with Christmas music, from the upbeat “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” to the nostalgic “White Christmas” and traditional favorites.
Recently showcased on The Late Show with David Letterman, nationally-acclaimed comedian Todd Oliver and his trio of live talking dogs star in the show. Named Branson’s best variety act three years in a row, Oliver performs with a talented cast of singers and dancers, an adagio dance team and a live band. Comedic magician Christopher Greenamyer is featured on noon and Sunday cruises.
All meals aboard the Showboat are freshly prepared onboard in the ship’s galley. For special occasions or small groups, the Showboat Branson Belle presents a premium dining experience in the Paddle Wheel Club Room, perched just above the turning paddlewheels.
Cruises sail through New Year’s Eve. All cruises run approximately two hours and 15 minutes, and begin at noon, 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The Showboat is located one-half mile south of Table Rock Dam on Mo. 165.
