Silver Dollar City's Showboat 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 Silver Dollar City's Showboat Christmas Cruise.)

Sporting the nostalgic appearance of a yesteryear river boat, the Silver Dollar City's Showboat 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.

I was disappointed

The meal was good, however the chicken was a bit overcooked so it was dry but the salad, roll, beef, green beans and dessert were really tasty. The servers were great and attentive to refilling our glasses. The part I was disappointed in was the entertainment. I was hoping for some good old fashioned Branson bluegrass but instead got dancing and very loud music. The magician was pretty good but I don’t think I will ever do the cruise again.

Mediocre

The lake cruise was nice and beautiful scenery. The magician/comedian was very funny and entertaining. The food was good, and the staff was great, very friendly. However, the music was not very good. A few good entertainers, but all around, was so loud you didn't know what they were singing most of the time. We watched the last 40 minutes sitting at the dock so didn't even have a very long cruise. Very disappointing for the most part.

Awesome!

We were greeted coming of the gangplank, by the captain. The girls told us to go forward and there would be someone in the lobby. There was, she checked our tickets and told is which direction to go. Upon interring the dinning room there were many servers that you could as for seating advice but later there was a Maitre d to seat people. The Branson Bell Show was fantastic. Singing, dancing, and a lot of comedy! During the break we went out on the deck, it was so beautiful. We really enjoyed our trip and will do it again this summer.

The Only Show You Need To See In Branson

My husband and I went to the 4pm show on Oct. 3/17 not really knowing what to expect. We had heard mixed reviews but decided this would be dinner, show and cruise all in one. We ordered our tickets online and chose the upgraded Captains Table. The whole experience was top notch and very professional. The service was excellent and the steak meal we ordered was cooked to perfection. The preshow and the main show were exceptional with lots of talented performers.

Great way to celebrate my birthday!

We wound up with front row seats and enjoyed close up entertainment. The waiters & staff were very friendly. The food was very good and the service was quick. The performers were very talented and seemed to really enjoy what they do. When our waiter found out it was my birthday, he brought me a special dessert that made me feel special.

Very Lovely Event

My wife and I took the Sunday luncheon cruise, Gospel On The Lake, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good and our waitress very attentive. The entertainment was good and we loved the casual intermission and mingling with everyone. The music was not loud, and pipped outside so we could enjoy it either way. We got some sun and it was a great first day in Branson.

Boat ride and food was great. Show was extremely loud and underwhelming. The trip on the lake was picturesque. Very friendly staff was quite helpful. The show isn't really aimed at the audience in attendance. It is modern country. So loud one couldn't understand the words.

Outstanding in every way!

The entire experience was awesome. The emcee and all the performers were first class with and outstanding band that played during dinner. We attended the 4:00pm show which allowed ample time to have dinner, walk around on the upper deck and 3rd level outside. Food was excellent and just the right amount. Be careful not to lose your after dinner coffee....they give a last call for coffee and if you leave your seat for a moment, it will be gone. Our server, Crystal, started out fantastic until we asked where our coffee went. She was adamant it was last call and took offense to us asking for it back. She pushed our cups/saucers at us in a manner that caused my wife's to spill. Sorry for the inconvenience we caused you! Our specific server aside, this is a MUST SEE. Also worth the upgrade to Lieutenant's seating.

Outstanding Experience

For us this experience was excellent in every way. The weather was beautiful. The MC was terrific in general but also with his clean humor and 'magic.' The singing and dancing was well done. The food was simple enough but really fantastic (we enjoyed quality food and don't need an excess of amount or variety). We have heartily recommended this sow to others.

Best Cruise On The Lake

This is the second time in Branson and the second time on this cruise as the only change we did s we were on the dinner sailing. It is a truly great experience from the fantastic meal to the on board show. Did I say the scenic view is a bonus! I would recommend the captains table which gives you more room and service for a small upgrade fee. You will not be disappointed!!

Show was ok, but food was some of the worst we have ever eaten and this was supposed to be the 'best' menu. The ribeye steak was all bone, fat, without any actual meat. We brought it home and even our cats wouldn't eat it. We told the wait staff and nobody tried to replace it with anything else, etc so we had to eat elsewhere after getting off the cruise. It was a too bad, too sad attitude. I would not recommend it.

Good & Bad

We had a group of 6 adults for our daughters 18th Birthday on 12-30-16 and enjoyed the show a lot. The cloggers were by far the best!! Only disappointing thing was we paid for a dinner cruise and because of weather the captain did not take the boat out of dock at all and we felt very disappointed when it was suppose to be a dinner cruise. We understand weather and safety is an issue but also felt they could of compensated us somehow to make our expensive experience a better one for the Birthday girl. Over all food and entertainment was enjoyable!!

Best Value in Branson

Over the past 40 years I have been to Branson 7 times and the Showboat Branson Belle 3 times. We are planning on going back in June and the Belle is on the agenda. Basically you are going to have a good meal along with 3 shows of some kind. Weather it be jugglers, comics, a dog act, singing, acrobats, etc. There is also time to take in the beauty of the lake up close.

5 Star All the Way

The Branson Belle dinner cruise was the last show we saw while in Branson last week (May 10, 2013) and what a show it was. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again and enjoy the meal and the entertainers. Christopher James definitely started off with a bang. Then when Janice Martin and The Showmen came on, I couldn't believe how absolutely great they all were. They were all 5 Star!!! You can't go wrong with the 4 p.m. show. Fantastic.
