What Is Not Included?

Meeting Location

Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?

Advance purchase is strongly recommended, as cruises often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please buy your tickets well in advance. Tickets can only be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.

What about taking children on the cruise?

Children are more than welcome aboard our dinner cruises! Children 4 - 11 years of age have a reduced price ticket, and children up to 3 years of age are free but must have a secured ticket in order to attend.

What happens if it rains?

Our captain is in constant communication with the Coast Guard and the National Weather Service. We do go out rain or shine; however, we would never put our passengers in harm's way. In the event of severe or unsafe weather we would still enjoy our dinner cruise on board but the boat would remain dockside.

How many people can be on the boat at one time?

The Landing Princess is 100 feet long and can accommodate up to 149 passengers. The lower deck seats up to 90 people for dinner, and the other open decks have plenty of additional seating!

Are food or drinks served during the cruise?

On the dinner cruise you will enjoy a buffet style dinner with barbecued ribs, roasted chicken, potatoes, vegetables, salads, and desserts (desserts vary depending on the cruise, but may be chocolate layer cake, milky way cake, or cheesecake). Coffee, hot tea, iced tea, soda, lemonade, and water are included in the ticket price. Alcoholic drinks are not included in the ticket price, but can be purchased with cash from our full bar on board. Snacks such as chips, candy, and popcorn range from $1 - $1.50 and can also be purchased during the cruise. Please bring extra cash with you if you'd like to purchase extra drinks and snacks on board!

Do you accept credit cards on board?

Yes! We accept Visa, Discover, Mastercard, or American Express on board. Please bring one of the above credit cards or cash with you in order to purchase additional snacks on board.

Can I bring my own food and beverages on board?

No, unfortunately personal foods and beverages are prohibited aboard the Landing Princess for insurance reasons. We will, however, have a full buffet that is included in your ticket price! You can also purchase alcoholic drinks and additional snacks from our full bar on board.

Can I bring alcohol on the boat?

No, you cannot bring your own personal alcoholic beverages on board. But alcoholic beverages can be purchased with cash from our full bar on board.

Is entertainment provided on the cruise?

Our entertainment is comprised of the exquisite natural beauty of Lake Taneycomo and the spectacular surrounding Ozark mountain countryside, coupled with the lake's unique wildlife and the man-made wonders that are such landmarks as the Taneycomo Bridge, Branson Landing, and the 7.5 million dollar fire, water, and light show. Rather than provide you with the same old song and dance you've seen for years, this one-of-a-kind ride offers a professional staff and a knowledgeable captain who will lead you through Missouri's pristine waterways as he tells you all about the sights you pass along the way. This cruise is sure to entertain and educate again and again.

Doesn’t it get really hot in Branson during the summer?

It can, but that’s the perfect reason to come out on the water aboard the Landing Princess! In the heat of the summer it is 15 to 18 degrees cooler on the waters of Lake Taneycomo than it is in the shopping area at Branson Landing, on the strip or even on Table Rock Lake. The waters of Lake Taneycomo always maintain a temperature of just 45 degrees, so Branson Landing Cruises is always your best bet for cool summer fun!

Is there air conditioning/heating on board?

Yes, the lower deck is enclosed and climate controlled.

Is it customary to tip the crew?

Your crew works very hard to make sure you have the best experience possible aboard the Landing Princess. While tips are not required, they are greatly appreciated!

Is seating assigned on the cruise?

Yes. For our dinner cruises a seating chart will be designed that will place you with your group in a particular spot in the main cabin. Seating will be assigned based on the order in which bookings are made. If you would like to request a particular spot, please indicate what your preferences are upon purchasing your tickets in a message to the seller. Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your requests.

Are there life jackets on board?

Yes, the Landing Princess has more than enough life jackets available for all passengers at any time. However, you are not required to wear life jackets during the dinner cruise.

Is the boat wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Landing Princess is wheelchair accessible, and so are the restrooms on board. Do keep in mind that the entrance to the boat is only 30 inches wide, so some larger wheelchairs and electric scooters or Segways may be more difficult to accommodate. If you'd like to make a special request for boat side drop off or assistance, please click on the "Contact BransonTours" link.

Is smoking allowed?

Yes, smoking is allowed on the outdoor decks in designated areas only.

Are restrooms available?

Yes! The Landing Princess has two clean restrooms on board (one for men and one for women). They are both wheelchair accessible as well.

Is the cruise suitable for pregnant women?

The dinner cruise aboard the Landing Princess should not be a problem for pregnant women as the waters are very calm and boat very stable. If you are concerned, you may want to consider consulting a doctor before attending the cruise.

Is there room to stow my belongings on board?

There is room on board to store limited belongings. If you have large personal belongings (such as a suitcase), we may ask you to keep them in our ticket booth which will be securely surveyed throughout the duration of the cruise.

Will I get seasick?

The Landing Princess is a large, stable boat and Lake Taneycomo has very calm waters. Therefore seasickness is very rare. If you are particularly prone to motion sickness, please do consider consulting your doctor before attending the cruise.

What else can I do around the meeting location?

There are plenty of great things to do at Branson Landing, from a Build-a-Bear workshop to various pro shops, fast food restaurants, and high end dining. All shops and restaurants are within walking distance from the meeting location, and historic downtown Branson is only a short two blocks away.

What about parking?

Free parking can be found at the north end of Branson Landing, near the corner of Branson Landing Boulevard and North Commercial Street next to Belks Department Store. Once you park, you can walk along Promenade Way through the shops of Branson Landing or head straight down to the boardwalk.

How far is the boat from the parking area?

The boat is about a 5 minute walk from the main parking area. If there is anyone in your party who would have difficulty walking that distance, you may drive up to the gate near the boat and drop them off before parking your car. To access the service road, please pull up to the motion sensor electronic arm, wait for the arm to rise, and drive up to the gate. Please note that there is no parking on the service road or by the gate, so after dropping your party off, please drive over to the main parking area.

Will there be souvenirs available for purchase?

Yes! We will have a gift shop opening soon that will sell many different souvenirs.

Are gift certificates available?

Yes, gift certificates are available for any of our cruises on the Lake Queen or the Landing Princess. Please click on the "Contact BransonTours" link if you're interested in purchasing a gift certificate.
