Branson's paddle-wheeler changed names: the boat that sailed for decades as the Showboat Branson Belle relaunched in 2026 as Silver Dollar City's Showboat, with a new show built around the Rivertown Ramblers. This page covers both eras and dates each film plainly, because the boat you board now is the reborn one.
The 2026 rebirth
Branson Fam rides the debut sailing: the new show, the meal, and the reborn boat's first impression on Table Rock Lake. The Silver Dollar City Podcast then goes aboard for 26 minutes — hosts Cole and Madie cruise, review what's new in the 2026 show and answer listener mail; it is the most detailed spoken tour of the current experience.
The Belle era
Three films preserve the earlier boat: a 2023 visitor film of the dinner cruise as it sailed then; BransonVisitorTV's Christmas sailing with the boat dressed for the season; and Silver Dollar City's own backstage film with the cast of Made in the USA — the 700-seat paddle-wheeler's company preparing to perform, filmed for that show's final season in 2014. Five films total is the honest count; the venue's other official clips run 16–35 seconds, below this site's floor.
