Moonlight Cocktail Cruise |
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 tour?
Children are more than welcome aboard our moonlight 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 weather we would remain dockside, and you will be given the opportunity to reschedule to another date or receive credit for a future event. Keep in mind that the Lake Queen and the Landing Princess have enclosed areas so we are able to go out in all light weather conditions.
How many people can be on the boat at one time?
The Lake Queen and the Landing Princess are both around 100 feet long and 20 feet wide and can carry up to 149 passengers. The lower decks seat up to 90 people and the upper deck has additional seating.
What will we see on the cruise?
You will see a vast variety of attractions and will get an up-close view of the Branson Landing Fountain Show finale!
Are food or drinks served during the cruise?
Yes! We have a full bar available on board each vessel that serves sodas, liquor, beer, wine and snacks. Sodas go for $2 a piece and come with a souvenir cup, alcoholic drinks range from $3 - 6, and snacks such as chips, candy, and popcorn range from $1 - $1.50.
Can I bring my own food and beverages on board?

Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Lake Queen and the Landing Princess are both 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.

Is the cruise suitable for pregnant women?

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 Lake Queen and Landing Princess are both large, stable boats 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.
