• Simplified Fixed-Fee Menus: Most MSC specialty restaurants now feature a fixed-fee menu, allowing guests to choose from a wide selection of dishes for one transparent price, enhancing value and accessibility.
• Flexible Dining Packages: New customizable packages allow guests to pre-purchase one to four specialty dining experiences with the flexibility to revisit favorite venues, personalizing their culinary itinerary.
• Advance Purchase Savings: Guests can save up to 20% on specialty dining packages by booking them before their cruise, offering better value and budget management.
• Enhanced Guest Choice and Transparency: The overall revamp is designed to provide guests with greater freedom, clearer pricing, and more convenience in enjoying MSC’s diverse range of quality specialty dining options.

MSC Cruises is overhauling its specialty dining offerings across its fleet to enhance guest choice, value, and convenience. The core of this transformation is a new fixed-fee menu structure for most specialty restaurants, allowing guests to select from a wide array of starters, mains, and desserts for one straightforward price.

This approach aims to increase transparency and make these dining experiences more accessible. While most dishes are included in the fixed fee, select premium items like Ozaki Wagyu beef will remain available for a nominal supplementary charge.

Complementing the simplified menus, MSC Cruises has introduced flexible and customizable dining packages. Guests can pre-purchase packages for one to four specialty dining experiences, with the freedom to revisit their favorite restaurants multiple times during their cruise (with some exceptions like Butcher’s Cut, limited to one visit per package).

This flexibility allows guests to tailor their culinary journey to their preferences. To encourage early planning, MSC is offering savings of up to 20% on these packages when purchased before embarkation.

MSC executives state these changes respond to increasing guest demand for flexibility, transparency, and personalization. The cruise line emphasizes its commitment to authentic, quality-driven culinary experiences, sourcing high-quality ingredients for diverse menus.

Future enhancements are planned to further streamline the purchasing and reservation management process, integrating with cruise apps for a more intuitive guest experience. These new specialty dining packages are currently available for booking fleetwide.
