Norwegian Luna’s Adults‑Only Show Comes With a Price Guests Didn’t Expect
Key Aspects:
Booked guests have discovered a $45 per person fee for an exclusive show on Norwegian Luna.
“LunaTique: Pop Circus” is an adults-only show featuring mature themes and vintage circus glam.
The fee includes four specialty cocktails, a souvenir glass, and gratuity.
One tremendous draw for cruise vacations is the all-inclusive aspect of amazing entertainment. From high-energy stage productions to comedy acts to live music, guests can enjoy all types of great shows onboard, all part of their cruise fare.
Guests eager to set sail on the brand new Norwegian Luna, however, are learning that the unique “LunaTique: Pop Circus” show has a fee, and not a small one. Guests must pay $44.99 per person to see the innovative show Norwegian Cruise Line describes as “an interactive, character-driven experience where our vibrant troupe of circus performers take center stage.”
The fee is not disclosed on the cruise line’s website, but is on the NCL App that guests download before setting sail and use to make reservations, view activities, preview menus, and more.
One guest booked on the new ship shared the pricing on Reddit, though it is possible the fee may vary for different sailing dates. The guest is sailing on Norwegian Luna at the end of May, so hasn’t yet booked the show. Of course, prices can change as the popularity of the show is determined during early sailings.
“I was really annoyed to see that LunaTique has a $45 fee!” the guest noted. “I don’t understand why the fee for LunaTique… I guess everyone’s sick of the family friendly entertainment and they feel it’s going to be popular?”
LunaTique: Pop Circus is one of the ship’s signature shows, but it is different than a typical production show in the main theater. Guests must be 21+ to reserve the show, which is noted as an immersive experience that “contains mature themes intended for adult audiences.”

The app’s description of the show offers this insight (but few concrete details):
“Vintage circus glamour collides with pop decadence in a bold, cheeky good time designed purely for grown-up fun. Expect big laughs, playful mischief, and just a little ‘Ooo la la!’”
Given the adults-only nature of the show, skimpy costumes, adult humor, and a bit of raciness may be part of the immersive experience.
It should be noted that the show’s fee includes the standard gratuity as well as four specialty cocktails and a souvenir glass. Guests can request mocktails in advance, but there appears to be no change in fee regardless of what types of drinks guests prefer.
As Cruise Hive previously reported, for no-show for specialty dining, there is a $10 fee if guests do not cancel their LunaTique reservations at least two hours before the start of the performance.
Other Exciting Entertainment Options on Norwegian Luna
While the fee for LunaTique may be a surprise for eager guests, other entertainment options on the new ship do not appear to have any sort of cost.
“ELTON: A Celebration of Elton John” is a musical review of the legendary performer’s greatest hits, while “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder” is a multimedia, high-tech show featuring acrobatics and dance in innovative combinations. Various other shows and the exclusive Norwegian Luna Eclipse Party are all part of the entertainment lineup.
Guests will also be able to enjoy a wide range of classic activities onboard the new ship, including trivia contests, lectures, and demonstrations.
Cruise Hive reported earlier this week that Norwegian Luna has officially been delivered. Her maiden voyage will depart Civitavecchia (Rome) on Tuesday, March 10 for a 13-night transatlantic cruise to Miami, which will remain Norwegian Luna‘s homeport for 7-night sailings through March 2027.
From the Sunshine State, the ship will visit top Caribbean ports such as Costa Maya, Cozumel, Harvest Caye, Roatan, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and Great Stirrup Cay.
The fourth ship in the Prima Class, Norwegian Luna can welcome 3,565 guests at double occupancy and is also home to roughly 1,600 international crew members.
