Norwegian Cruise Line Brings Prince Musical to the High Seas with Norwegian Aqua
by Dori Saltzman /When Norwegian Aqua debuts next spring it will feature an all-new musical celebrating the music of the Prince. It will be one of two all-new shows onboard.
The new Prince tribute show, “Revolution: A Celebration of Prince,” which was developed in partnership with the Prince Legacy, LLC and Primary Wave Music, will honor the seven-time GRAMMY award-winning and 38-time GRAMMY-nominated artist during a concert-like experience featuring the music icon’s greatest hits.
The hour-long show will feature performances both on stage and off for a fully immersive experience. Guests will also have the option to enjoy the show on the dance floor with the cast or watch from traditional theater seating.”
NCL is also taking its highest guest-rated show, “Elements,” and enhancing it with new surprises in “Elements: The World Expanded.” Blending acrobatics, magic, and dance, the show draws inspiration from the four elements.
“For Norwegian Aqua, we are thrilled to build on our legacy of excellence in entertainment to offer our guests more options across the ship, including exclusive original productions that cannot be seen anywhere else on land or sea,” said David J. Herrera, president of NCL.
Other new and returning entertainment venues and shows include “The Improv at Sea” comedy club; “Syd Norman’s Presents: Rumours,” a Fleetwood Mac tribute experience offered in the Aqua Theater & Club; and “The Prince is Right LIVE on NCL” game show.”
The Aqua Theater & Club similar to the Theater & Club onboard Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, will transform from a three-story theater to a Vegas-style nightclub featuring three different themed experiences: “90s Party,” where guests can relive the top hits and outfits of the decade; “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” featuring the latest Latin jams; and “Pop Life,” a Prince-influenced club experience.
Starting April 2025, Norwegian Aqua will sail seven-day Caribbean itineraries from Port Canaveral. Following the ship’s Caribbean season, Norwegian Aqua will offer five- and seven-day voyages to Bermuda from New York City from Aug. 2025 to Oct. 2025, and then five- and seven-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries from Miami beginning Oct. 2025.
