Eataly returns to MSC Cruises on MSC World America

The only Eataly at sea will have an open kitchen, serve freshly made pasta and some of the brand’s most-loved dishes plus a few exclusive items, with ingredients sourced from Italian suppliers.

Gastronomic journey

'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 together,' said Bernhard Stacher, VP global hotel operations, MSC Cruises.

'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,' he continued. '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.'

MSC Cruises earlier had an Eataly on MSC Meraviglia when it debuted in the US some years ago.

19 dining venues

MSC World America, scheduled to make its inaugural splash PortMiami in April 2025, has 19 dining venues including four main restaurants, two buffets, two venues inside the MSC Yacht Club, plus Eataly and five other speciality restaurants.
