MSC Cruises’ newest flagship, MSC World America, will feature the only Eataly restaurant at sea when she enters service next year.

MSC Cruises is partnering with Eataly, the global ambassador of high-quality Italian food and wine, to offer guests an exclusive experience on the line’s new flagship. The world-renowned brand will debut alongside the ship’s other new restaurant and on-the-go food options, offering more choice and more convenience, while blending the cruise line’s signature European elegance with experiences tailored to the American market.

Maximizing choice while offering a mix of traditional favorites and new flavors has always been at the core of MSC Cruises’ dining ethos. MSC World America will offer 19 dining venues, including four elegant main restaurants, two relaxed buffets, two exclusive venues for guests in the MSC Yacht Club, and unique experiences including:

New! Eataly at sea

MSC World America’s new Eataly restaurant will offer a menu that spans the pillars of Italian gastronomy, ranging from some of the brand’s most beloved dishes to items exclusively available on board. Guests can expect an unparalleled ingredient selection carefully sourced from Italian suppliers—with freshly made pasta crafted on-site—for an unforgettable culinary journey celebrating Italy's finest flavors.

Eataly on MSC World America is a celebration of Italian culture and tradition, with a passion that extends beyond the menu. The restaurant's design will incorporate warm materials, natural tones and soft lighting, fostering an informal yet elegant atmosphere. Plus, the open kitchen will maintain Eataly's commitment to showcasing the cooking process live in front of guests' eyes.
