The world cruise has officially begun – and in this episode of TSJ CruisePod, we visit the first three destinations of this incredible journey: Marseille, Barcelona, and Málaga.

In Marseille, an unexpected change of plans turns into a memorable city tour, including stunning views from Palais Pharo, a visit to the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde, and a glimpse into the tradition of Savon de Marseille.

Barcelona once again impresses with its unique mix of culture, energy, and everyday moments – from a visit to the LEGO Store and a coffee at Plaça de Catalunya to a walk along La Rambla and the vibrant Boqueria Market.

In Málaga, history and culture take center stage with visits to the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, the Alcazaba, and the cathedral. The day ends with a true highlight: the first big Sail Away Party, marking the emotional start of the world cruise.

Three cities, three completely different experiences – and the perfect beginning to a journey around the world.

Season 3 of TSJ CruisePod begins with the start of an unforgettable journey: a full world cruise in 2025 aboard the MSC Magnifica.

In this opening episode, I take you behind the scenes of how this adventure came to life – from the initial idea after my previous world cruise to the moment everything was finally booked. You’ll also learn how the itinerary changed and why that actually made the journey even more exciting.

Before we set sail, I introduce you to the MSC Magnifica, the ship that would become our home for four months. From restaurants and entertainment to life on board during long sea days, this episode gives you a first impression of what it’s like to live on a cruise ship during a world voyage.

Finally, I take you along on the journey to the embarkation port in Genoa – from Kiel to Hamburg, Milan, and ultimately to the moment of stepping on board. Along the way, there are a few unexpected moments, small challenges, and even a reunion that made the experience even more special.

This episode sets the stage for the entire season – and for a journey that will take us across continents, oceans, and some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.

In the final episode of Season Two of the TSJ CruisePod – Your journey beyond the waves, the focus shifts away from ports and cities and fully on board the MSC Poesia.

After weeks of exploring Europe’s great cities on the Metropolis Tour 2026, this episode takes a closer look at the rhythm of everyday life at sea. Traveling in early January means cooler weather and more time indoors – but it also creates a calm, cozy atmosphere that defines this journey.

Thomas Sebastian Jensen shares impressions from sea days filled with theater shows at the Teatro Carlo Felice, featuring productions like Club Disco, Total Divas, Picture Perfect, and story-driven performances such as Road to Nowhere. The episode also explores daytime activities like dance classes in styles ranging from Cha Cha Cha to Bachata, lively Quiz o’Clock sessions, and the small personal rituals that naturally develop on board.

Despite spending much of the time inside, the ship never feels crowded. There’s always space to relax, reflect, or simply enjoy the gentle movement of the sea. This episode captures that balance between entertainment and tranquility – the essence of life on board during a winter cruise.

As Season Two comes to a close, this episode marks the end of the Metropolis Tour, but not the end of the journey. New cruises are already booked, new routes await, and the TSJ CruisePod will continue to travel along.

🎧 Sit back, listen in, and close this chapter of the journey beyond the waves – with many more still to come.
