Dining is Delizioso with MSC Cruises
Imagine crêpes Florentine, pumpkin risotto with truffle oil and lobster with coriander and anise. In each ship’s main restaurant, dining is a special occasion with their renowned seven-course menu, including a different regional Italian specialty each night. They call their medley of fresh Mediterranean flavors, La Cucina Italiana. You’ll take pleasure in the fresh taste of gourmet Italian food served in an elegant European atmosphere.

Each ship offers a varied selection of fine dining and casual venues ranging from the only Chinese restaurant at sea, to a sushi bar, a lively Tex Mex restaurant, and of course, an authentic pizzeria. You can also savor a taste of heavenly delights at their midnight buffet. Then sleep in and enjoy a private breakfast on your balcony. Buon appetito!

When evening arrives, la notte è magica­­––the night is magical. Inspired entertainment brings standing ovations for their unique brand of exotic theatricality. They offer different shows in their theater each night, such as passionate flamenco dancers from Spain for a touch of the Mediterranean.

Your enchanted evening continues with dancing in their disco and live performances throughout the ship, from a classical string quartet to jazz and piano. Or have fun singing along to your favorite Italian songs. And in the European gaming tradition, They invite you to try your luck in their casino. Then end your evening with a romantic stroll on the pool deck where le stelle brilliano luminose­­––the stars shine bright.
