MSC Cruises - Dining

As you can imagine - one of the added benefits of Italian style cruising as that you can enjoy all the wonderful culinary treasures associated with Italy, and some of its Mediterranean neighbours.

Here’s a quick guide to what you can expect when dining on an MSC cruise:

Wine connoisseurs will savour the fine selections and cap dinner off with a traditionally Italian cappuccino or espresso. Afterwards, dessert! From passionate Italian treats of tiramisu and cannolis to your favourite cakes, pastries and tarts, it’s as if there’s no limit to the indulgence. If you’re celebrating a special occasion - a birthday, retirement, honeymoon or anniversary - do it with classic Italian operatic drama: a cake, some bubbly and an Italian serenade.

During your delightful seven-course dinner aboard your MSC cruise, experience the zest of flavours and gaiety of colours from an authentic Mediterranean kitchen - garlic, olives, basil, red pepper and tomatoes – all in MSC Cruises traditional family recipes. MSC Cruises well-trained dining staff will serve a choice of regional specialties creatively prepared from the freshest ingredients by their talented chefs.

From your complete breakfast in the morning to the midnight buffet, there are several dining options available to you on board any MSC cruise. Enjoy a typical Mediterranean brunch in the privacy of your stateroom, enjoy a casual outdoor lunch by the pool from the grill or pizzeria, and sample a variety of snacks during the afternoon and evening.

By the way, don’t worry if the Italian language is all Greek to you – all the waiters, bar staff and other service crew on MSC Cruise ships speak English. The menus and wine lists are also printed in English, but feel free to experiment with the Italian pronunciations!
