Three days. Two nights. A whole lotta laughs. It kicks off with a hootin'-and-hollerin' party β appetizers, music, and a room full of folks ready for a good time. Then it's three side-splittin' shows at the Amish Country Theater β a different one every day.
But the main event? A full day on the motorcoach with one of ACT's funniest, windin' through the prettiest backroads in Ohio. Hand-picked stops, lunch along the way, and one big surprise we're not about to spoil.

Toss, stack, relay, trivia β all with and about fry pies. Exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.

Bring your better half, bring your buddies, bring the whole crew. All you need is a sense of humor and an appetite.

Our first-ever sailings nearly sold out in 48 hours β so we hitched up more. Grab the new September 2β4, the December Holly Jolly Joyride, and three fresh 2027 dates before these go too.
Everything you'll want to know before you climb aboard
Sure is. Two nights at the Berlin Encore Hotel, five home-cooked meals, all three comedy shows, the full-day motorcoach cruise, the kickoff party, and every stop along the way β all baked into one price. About the only time you'll reach for your wallet is for souvenirs and whatever you can't resist at the bakery.
It's our Christmas edition of the Backroads Comedy Cruise β the same three-day format and beautiful backroads, all decked out for the holidays. It rolls out December 1β3, 2026, and features two festive shows: "Christmas in the Country" with the Amish Country Theater cast, and "Christmas With The Malpass Brothers."
Same great ride, holiday twist. You'll get festive stops, seasonal treats, holiday-themed comedy, and two special Christmas shows. Think of it as the Backroads Comedy Cruise in a Santa hat.
Right at the award-winning Berlin Encore Hotel in the heart of Berlin, Ohio β your home base for the whole trip. You settle in once and we handle the rest. No packing and unpacking at every stop.
Nope β that's the whole point. Once you check in, we do the driving. The big day on the backroads is aboard a comfy motorcoach with one of ACT's funniest riding shotgun. Just bring yourself; we'll handle the wheel.
It is β good-natured, Amish Country-friendly humor from start to finish. The kind you could bring your mother-in-law to and still look her in the eye afterward.
Come however you like β solo, with your better half, or with the whole crew. Plenty of folks climb aboard on their own and leave with a whole busload of new friends.
Cancel up to 60 days before check-in and you'll get a full 100% refund. After that, you can transfer your spot to another traveler for the same cruise date. Want more wiggle room? Add our optional Vacation Protection Plan when you book β that bumps your full-refund window to 21 days out, and if you cancel after that you'll receive a credit toward a future Land Cruise for your registration cost (minus the $89 flexible-cancellation charge).
We'd call it light. The motorcoach drops you right at the entrance of each stop, and most every attraction has plenty of spots to sit, rest, and catch your breath whenever you need a break.
Comfy shoes, an appetite, and a sense of humor. Ohio weather likes to keep you guessing, so a light jacket never hurts either.
If we told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it? You'll just have to climb aboard and find out.
The Backroads Comedy Cruise sells out β grab your spot before somebody funnier takes it.
