Also premiering on Norwegian Luna, ‘HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder’ is a sci-fi-inspired show that blends cirque-style acrobatics with mixed-reality effects, 3D mapping and a bespoke original score created for NCL, with the new character HIKO appearing both on stage and around the ship to extend the narrative beyond the theatre.
For younger cruisers, Norwegian Luna will introduce ‘Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival’, a new interactive, ocean-themed experience designed to encourage creativity and curiosity as part of a wider family offering. Meanwhile, classic rock fans can look forward to ‘Syd Norman’s Presents: A Tribute to Eagles’, performed by the popular Syd Norman’s cast in an enhanced live music venue, supported by additional sets including nostalgic playlists and live band karaoke.
