Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel, today announced the upcoming debut of what is sure to be its most electrifying entertainment experience yet — “Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John™,” a dazzling, hit-filled tribute to the legendary icon, and the groundbreaking mixed reality show “HIKO” – 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 – and to complement the robust lineup of new and returning experiences that elevate entertainment at sea and reflect NCL’s bold pivot toward immersive, headline-worthy programming.
Guests will be dazzled by “Rocket Man: A Celebration of Elton John,” a high-energy Elton John concert-style show created using elements of Elton’s rich archive of footage and imagery. In celebration of the “EGOT”[1] winner’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.
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. 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.
