First Eataly at Sea Coming to MSC World America

MSC Cruises has announced that its new flagship vessel MSC World America will feature the only Eataly restaurant at sea when it enters service in 2025. 

Renowned Italian food brand Eataly and MSC Cruises will partner to debut on MSC World America for new restaurant and on-the-go food options. The venue will blend the cruise line’s signature European elegance with experiences tailored to the American market.

“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. 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,” said Bernhard Stacher, Vice President of Global Hotel Operations, MSC Cruises. 

MSC World America’s Eataly restaurant will offer a menu to take guests on a tour of Italian gastronomy, ranging from some of the brand’s most beloved dishes to items exclusively available on board. Guests can expect an ingredient selection carefully sourced from Italian suppliers, including freshly made pasta crafted on-site. 

The restaurant's design will incorporate warm materials, and natural tones, with an informal yet elegant atmosphere. Its open kitchen will maintain the brand’s commitment to showcasing the cooking process to guests.
