MSC Opera cruise ship

MSC Opera

Renovated in 2015, the sophisticated MSC Opera adopted a selection of new features, amenities, and balcony staterooms to her repertoire. The third ship of MSC Cruises’ Lirica class, MSC Opera meets all her passengers’ needs, so whether a family holiday or a romantic getaway, you will have a cruise holiday of a lifetime. As the little ones spend their time playing virtual reality video games in the arcade or a few holes of minigolf, you can get pampered with a massage in the Aurea Spa or dance with lady luck in the casino.

Sailing with MSC Cruises guarantees you a holiday backed by decades of excellent customer service, and MSC Opera will be a number you won’t be able to get out of your head. The modern Teatro dell’Opera hosts a programme of unforgettable shows. MSC Opera is home to plenty of chic bars and lounges for some socialising and meeting new friends. The new shopping area, Walk Through Shops, will have plenty of souvenirs for you to bring back to family and friends back home.

MSC Opera Dining Options


The restaurants on MSC Opera remain gourmet, but thanks to the refurbishment, they are now more spacious and comfortable, too. Feast on the international and Mediterranean fare with more room than ever. The daily menus represent both quality and variety, so every culinary experience on MSC Opera is unforgettable. Here is a list of restaurants on MSC Opera:

  • La Caravella Restaurant
  • L’Approdo Restaurant
  • Le Vele Cafeteria
  • Il Patio

MSC Opera houses two main dining rooms. La Caravella offers gastronomic variety with its seven-course dinners. The main dining room, steeped in intimacy, serves up international fare; with themed nights, prepare your tastebuds for spicy Tex-Mex, flavourful Cuban, refreshing Mediterranean cuisine, and more! L’Approdo, the smaller of the two main dining rooms, serves up the same menu of both classic dishes and meals pepped with Mediterranean flair. Complete with an extensive wine list, you’ll feel absolutely spoilt!

The buffet restaurant and the pizzeria/fast-food bar are also open to those who want to venture outside the main dining rooms. Open 20 hours a day, you can curb any craving at Le Vele, the ship’s buffet restaurant. Pick up a plate and indulge in the array of culinary wonders. Just outside, you can enjoy al fresco dining at Il Patio. After a day packed with fun and excitement, order some authentic Italian dishes from the pizzeria or maybe some grilled delights from the fast-food bar.

If you don’t feel like “going out”, order room service and enjoy a pizza, salad, sandwich, or even breakfast in the comfort of your stateroom.
