Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced a wide-reaching expansion of onboard entertainment – for both adults and kids – on its Norwegian Luna ship, headlined by a new show focusing on the music of Elton John.

Among the new highlights will be Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John, and HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder, featuring “mixed reality and Cirque artistry”.

There will also be a tribute to the Eagles and a brand-new dedicated experience for kids, called Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival.

“Norwegian Cruise Line has a proud history of revolutionising entertainment at sea—from pioneering Broadway-caliber onboard productions to continuously creating original, only-on-NCL experiences,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

“As a lifelong music fan, I’m especially excited to celebrate the work of Elton John, an icon whose influence spans generations, with a show that is as dynamic and unforgettable as the artist himself. With Norwegian Luna, we’re building on that tradition by delivering spectacular new productions and immersive programming designed to surprise and delight our guests.”

NCL is also ramping up the deck parties aboard Norwegian Luna with two all-new party concepts:

  • Island Nights brings the vibrant spirit of the islands to life with a modern pop edge at sea.
  • Latin LIVE! will heat up the pool deck with multiple percussionists, a live band and dynamic vocalists as well as live dance performances that will have everyone on their feet all night long.

“Creating the entertainment line-up for Norwegian Luna has been an incredible and fulfilling journey,” added Bryan White, vice president of entertainment production at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “We’re fortunate to partner with the most innovative and respected creators in the industry, so we can keep raising the bar and giving our guests the world-class entertainment NCL is known for. From captivating tribute concerts to awe-inspiring original productions, our lineup has something for guests of all ages, delivering unforgettable experiences for everyone aboard.”
