Norwegian Cruise Line “has long set the standard for the finest entertainment at sea, with world-class productions and top-tier talent”, said Bryan White, vice president of entertainment production for Norwegian Cruise Line.

“We’re excited to further enhance our guests’ cruising experience by introducing even more exclusive original productions and offering a wider range of entertainment options across our fleet,” White said.

New shows on cruise ships

Red, White, & British debuts on Norwegian Epic’s 14 May Greek isles sailing. The show celebrates iconic British musical artists like David Bowie and Queen.

Icons: The Bands brings to life hits by the greatest bands of all time and debuts on Norwegian Escape’s 25 May Caribbean sailing from Miami.

Ignite the Night is a high-energy production set to premiere on Norwegian Jewel during the ship’s 2 March Caribbean cruise from Tampa.

Finally, Bring Back the 90s will debut during Norwegian Getaway’s 2 March sailing. It offers an Alice in Wonderland-inspired trip through iconic 1990s moments, and includes songs by Alanis Morissette, Salt-N-Pepa, and Destiny’s Child.

The 50-minute performance celebrates ’90s fashion, pop culture, music, and memorable trends, and includes a mix of dance, vocals and multimedia design.

It comes amid a millennial-led trend for nostalgic experiences, which can create emotional bonds and a feeling of shared history between guests.

The upcoming shows are part of Norwegian Cruise Line’s new entertainment strategy, which aims to cater to a multi-generational and global audience.

Also part of this strategy is the addition of entertainment pop-ups across the cruise line’s fleet, with surprise performances taking place by the pool, in dining rooms and atriums, and more.
