Norwegian Luna to Feature Elton John Tribute Show Rocket Man & Much More Entertainment

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), has announced the upcoming debut of “Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John,” a hit-filled tribute to the legendary icon, and the mixed reality show “HIKO” – with both scheduled to premiere on the all-new Norwegian Luna in March, 2026.

Developed by the award-winning Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ Creative Studios in Tampa, Fla., these productions are designed to captivate a broad spectrum of guests – from lifelong music lovers and pop culture enthusiasts to multigenerational families.

“Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John,” is a high-energy concert-style show created using elements of Elton’s rich archive of footage and imagery. In celebration of the John’s legendary career, the onboard production will feature timeless hits like “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” and more.

Aboard Norwegian Luna, the cruise line will also introduce an additional completely original production, “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder,” a sci-fi show that blends Cirque artistry with mixed reality visuals. 

Inspired by the celestial spirit of Norwegian Luna, “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder” is an otherworldly new production that blends cutting-edge 3D mapping, multi-sensory video projection and a fully original score exclusive to NCL that transports guests to a futuristic world.

“Norwegian Cruise Line has a proud history of revolutionizing entertainment at sea–from pioneering Broadway-caliber onboard productions to continuously creating original, only-on-NCL experiences,” said Harry Sommer, president and CEO 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.”

Norwegian Luna will also debut “LunaTique,” the ship’s exclusive production for guests 21 and older, along with “Syd Norman’s Presents: A Tribute to Eagles,” a new tribute show performed by the fan-favourite Syd Norman’s cast. Guests can also look forward to two fully reimagined new themed deck parties: Island Nights and Latin LIVE!, all designed to bring even more excitement to evenings at sea.

Norwegian will also introduce “Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival,” a first-of-its-kind original experience developed in-house and curated specifically for children. Inspired by nostalgic field day activities, this enchanting event follows an inquisitive fish on an interactive adventure through the ocean. With glow games, whimsical costumes, awe-inspiring visuals, “Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival” invites families to play, learn and connect in a hands-on showcase of imagination.
