NCL Unveils Prince Tribute Show and More for Norwegian Aqua Entertainment Lineup

Norwegian Cruise Line has announced the two exclusive entertainment offerings set to debut onboard its next-generation vessel, Norwegian Aqua. These shows include "Revolution: A Celebration of Prince” and "Elements: The World Expanded." Guests can experience these new shows when the ship makes its debut in April 2025. 

"For decades, NCL has set the standard in entertainment at sea, with worldclass productions and talent that rivals those found in major cities like Las Vegas, New York City and London," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "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 at sea."

The brand-new and immersive Prince tribute show, "Revolution: A Celebration of Prince", developed in partnership with Prince Legacy, LLC and Primary Wave Music, will honor and celebrate the legendary artist during a concert-like experience featuring the music icon's chart-topping hits, including "Let's Go Crazy," "Little Red Corvette," "Delirious," "Purple Rain," and more. The hour-long show will celebrate Prince's music, energy, and life. 

Set in the Aqua Theater & Club, the 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’s famed show "Elements" has been enhanced with new surprises in "Elements: The World Expanded".  Blending acrobatics, magic and intrigue, this show draws inspiration from the four elements - earth, wind, water, and fire. 

Both productions were developed by NCL's in-house production team at the Creative Studios by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in partnership with award-winning Broadway choreographer, and director Patricia Wilcox. 

Other new and returning entertainment venues and shows for Norwegian Aqua include The Aqua Theater & Club, "The Improv at Sea" comedy club, "The Price is Right LIVE on NCL" game show and "Syd Norman's Presents: Rumours", a Fleetwood Mac tribute experience for the Aqua Theater & Club. 

The Aqua Theater & Club (similar to the Theater & Club on Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva) will transform from a three-story theater to a three-story Vegas-style nightclub featuring a dance floor, an interactive chandelier, state-of-the-art lighting, and more. The venue will feature two bars, and showcase all nightclub programming through three different themed experiences: "90s Party," "Livin' La Vida Loca," and "Pop Life". 

The entertainment programming will also include a brand-new in-house production for NCL, "The Welcome Aboard Show" where vocalists, dancers, and onboard crew provide guests a fun preview of all the offerings to come throughout their sailing. Also new is "Ocean Music Fest," an immersive concert and the ultimate jam session at sea. 

"From vibrant production shows to parties, musical performances, game shows, comedy and more, we have struck just the right balance of offering something for everyone to enjoy on board Norwegian Aqua," added NCL's Vice President of Entertainment Production, Bryan Anthony White. "Our talented performers and the staff behind-the-scenes who bring our original productions to life are one-of-a-kind, and their dedication, passion and effort truly shines through when watching these exceptional shows. Our team is already working to bring these new entertainment offerings to life on board Norwegian Aqua and we look forward to wowing our guests when it sets sail next year."
