Norwegian Cruise Line has also now revealed two exclusive shows, especially for Norwegian Aqua. Created by NCL’s in-house production team, in partnership with award-winning Broadway choreographer Patricia Wilcox, Norwegian Aqua cruises will feature all-new and enhanced productions: “Revolution: A Celebration of Prince” and “Elements: The World Expanded.”

Amongst other new and returning entertainment venues and shows on-board Norwegian Aqua cruises are 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 that will be offered in the Aqua Theater & Club.

Revolution: A Celebration of Prince

Revolution: A Celebration of Prince encapsulates the music, energy and life synonymous with Prince and NCL cruises alike, an hour-long immersive concert experience featuring iconic chart-topping hits including “Purple Rain” and “Let’s Go Crazy” amongst others.

On-board your Norwegian Aqua cruise, you can thoroughly enjoy the performance as it celebrates Prince’s rise to fame, developed in partnership with Prince Legacy, LLC and Primary Wave Music, with the opportunity to experience the show from traditional theatre seating, or even alongside the cast on the dance floor.

Elements: The World Expanded

Norwegian Aqua cruises will feature a newly enhanced version of the highest guest-rated show in NCL’s history, “Elements”. The all-new “Elements: The World Expanded” will blend acrobats, magic and intrigue, taking inspiration from the four elements – earth, wind, water and fire – to create a mesmerising spectacle.

Fifteen years on from its inception on-board Norwegian Spirit, the show will be reimagined for Norwegian Aqua as a more immersive version of the already captivating production, featuring magic, aerial acrobatics, music and dance, dazzling and captivating cruisers on-board Norwegian Aqua cruises like they have never seen before.

The Aqua Theater & Club

Similar to the Theater & Club on-board Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua cruises will feature the Aqua Theater & Club, transforming from a three-story theatre to a three-story Vegas-style nightclub. Inside the club, you will find an expansive dancefloor, interactive chandelier, state-of-the-art lighting and two different bars, showcasing all nightclub programming through three themed experiences: “90s Party”, “Livin La’ Vida Loca” and the Prince influenced club experience, “Pop Life”.
