In this episode of the TSJ CruisePod – Your journey beyond the waves, the Metropolis Tour 2026 continues with a stop in Belgium.

Docking in Zeebrugge, one of the country’s most important seaports, the journey leads inland to Brussels, a city where history, politics, and everyday life come together in a uniquely international atmosphere. As the capital of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union, Brussels offers a fascinating mix of grand architecture, historic neighborhoods, and lively urban culture.

Join Thomas Sebastian Jensen as he shares impressions from an early-morning excursion to Brussels, including a visit to the iconic Atomium, a guided walk past the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the elegant Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, and the stunning Grand Place – one of Europe’s most beautiful squares and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The episode also captures personal moments from free time in the city, from the surprisingly small Manneken Pis and its famous wardrobe to classic Belgian fries and waffles enjoyed in the heart of the city.

In addition, listeners get an overview of alternative shore excursions from Zeebrugge, including visits to Bruges, Ghent, and scenic tours through the historic region of Flanders – highlighting the wide variety of experiences available from this port.

A rich and engaging episode that brings you right into the cultural and political heart of Europe as the Metropolis Tour continues.

🎧 Sit back, listen in, and continue your journey beyond the waves.
