News / MSC Cruises unveils a new era of specialty dining across the fleet
The updated dining program includes redesigned menus and more flexible packages

Guests sailing with MSC Cruises will find it easier than ever to enjoy the line’s wide array of specialty dining options, thanks to an overhaul covering menus and packages. Changes rolling out fleetwide make it more convenient to purchase specialty dining experiences, easier to order from the menu, and deliver higher value across the board.
At the core of this new approach is a fixed-fee menu that puts guest choice and simplicity first — meaning greater value, variety and ease, and creating a seamless dining experience from start to finish.
Highlights of the new specialty dining experience include:
- One menu, one price: Guests will now be able to choose from most of the items on the full restaurant menu, for one fixed price. This not only provides greater variety, but also greater value and transparency, making specialty restaurants more accessible to everyone. Menus will allow guests to choose at least one starter, one main and one dessert for a fixed fee. Menus will also offer extra-special dishes, such as Ozaki Wagyu beef, for a small additional charge.
- Flexible, customizable dining packages: Guests can now pre-purchase packages with one to four specialty dining experiences, which are more customizable than ever before. These are fully flexible and can be used to repeat favorite restaurants*, giving guests the freedom to create their own ideal culinary itinerary.
- Greater value with advance purchase: Guests who purchase their specialty dining package before their cruise can enjoy savings of up to 20%.
MSC Cruises is known for offering unique and authentic gastronomic experiences aboard its modern and glamorous ships. Using quality ingredients, guests can taste traditional favorites and new flavors from around the world in a way that suits them – whether it be in the elegant main restaurants, more relaxed buffets or signature specialty restaurants.
