When Norwegian Luna debuts in March 2026, it will feature a broad array of new entertainment led by an Elton John tribute show appropriately titled “Rocket Man.”
Other new shows will include a “futuristic production” that blends music and “cirque artistry,” a Syd Norman’s Pour House tribute to the Eagles, an adults-only Vegas-style show, and a dedicated entertainment experience just for kids.
“Creating the entertainment lineup for Norwegian Luna has been an incredible and fulfilling journey,” said Bryan White, vice president of entertainment production at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Ltd. “From captivating tribute concerts to awe-inspiring original productions, our lineup has something for guests of all ages, delivering unforgettable experiences for everyone onboard.”
Rocket Man
Similar in style to the cruise line’s Prince tribute, which headlines on Norwegian Aqua, “Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John” will be a high-energy concert-style show that blends archival video and imagery with “powerhouse vocals, jaw-dropping choreography, and fashion-forward costumes.” It is being created by the cruise line’s in-house Creative Studios in Tampa, Fla.
“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 himself,” said Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Ltd.
Sci-Fi, Acrobatics & the Future
The second mainstage show headlining on Norwegian Luna will be HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder, which NCL describes as an “otherworldly new production that blends cutting-edge 3D mapping, multi-sensory video projection, and a fully original score,” all designed to transport guests to a futuristic world.
The show also features four gymnasts to perform “gravity-defying acts,” set against the backdrop of visuals and sci-fi inspired costumes designed by Guy Brassard, a longtime collaborator with Cirque du Soleil.
The star of the show is HIKO – whom guests might encounter throughout the ship in interactive meet-and-greet experiences that bring the show to life beyond the stage.
An Eagles Tribute
Following the success and popularity of the Fleetwood Mac-focused “Syd Norman’s Presents: Rumours,” Norwegian Luna will feature a third brand-new mainstage show, this one paying tribute to the Eagles.
Separately, Syd Norman’s will get an upgrade with new additions, including a throwback ‘90s set and Live Band Karaoke.
Adults Only
Making its debut on Norwegian Luna will be “LunaTique,” an exclusive production for guests 21 and older at The Improv at Sea. Inspired by “the thrill, sparkle, and nonstop energy” of Las Vegas nightlife, this afterhours experience will feature classic circus archetypes – ringmaster, acrobats, clowns, and strongmen – reimagined as “edgy, fashion-forward personas in a pop-infused show.”
An Under-the-Sea Kids Show
Another first for NCL will be “Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival,” developed specifically for children. Inspired by the nostalgia of field day activities, the production follows an inquisitive fish on an interactive adventure through the ocean and features glow games, whimsical costumes, and more.
Reimagined Signature Events
As on Aqua, Viva, and Prima, the Luna Theater & Club will transform from a three-story theater to a three-story Vegas-style nightclub featuring the new Norwegian Luna Eclipse Party, which will be a festival-inspired glow party. Also new will be the Planetdisco dance party, featuring classic disco and a lively ensemble of performers.
On the outdoor deck, Norwegian Luna will debut two new party concepts: Island Nights and Latin LIVE!
Norwegian Luna is scheduled for delivery in March 2026, with regular seven-day sailings to the Caribbean starting up in April. In 2027, the ship will reposition to New York City to offer four- and seven-night itineraries to Bermuda from April 2027 to October 2027.
