MSC Cruises has partnered with Eataly to introduce the restaurant onboard its newest ship, the MSC World America when it enters service in 2025. According to Cruise Industry News, the venue will feature an open kitchen and offer freshly made pasta, signature dishes, and exclusive items sourced from Italian suppliers.
Bernhard Stacher, vice president of global hotel operations at MSC Cruises, said: “As an international cruise line with a strong European heritage, we are committed to taking our guests on a gastronomic journey of discovery with the onboard dining experience as we believe that the best memories are made when sharing good food. MSC World America stays true to this philosophy, which is why we have partnered with Eataly – an emblem of Made in Italy and Italian culinary artistry. We share a passion for high-quality, authentic food made with fresh ingredients and together we are creating a unique experience that can only be enjoyed on board MSC World America.”
The MSC World America will have a total of 19 dining venues, including four main restaurants, two buffets, and two exclusive venues in the MSC Yacht Club, in addition to Eataly and five other specialty restaurants. The ship is set to launch in April 2025, with its inaugural season dedicated to Caribbean voyages from Miami, including visits to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in the Bahamas.
