In this episode of the TSJ CruisePod – Your journey beyond the waves, the Metropolis Tour 2026 reaches its final destination in the United Kingdom.

Docking in Southampton, one of the country’s most important cruise ports and a city deeply connected to maritime history, the journey continues inland for a truly royal experience. Having already explored Southampton during a previous cruise, this time the focus shifts to one of England’s most iconic destinations: Windsor.

Windsor is best known as the home of Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and an official residence of the British monarchy. After an early start, a scenic bus ride, and a brief UK immigration check, the day unfolds at a relaxed pace with ample free time to explore both the castle and the town.

Join Thomas Sebastian Jensen as he walks through the historic grounds of Windsor Castle, visits St George’s Chapel – the burial place of many monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II – admires the extraordinary detail of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, and explores the richly decorated State Apartments. Beyond the castle walls, the episode captures the charm of Windsor itself, with its small shops, pubs, riverside atmosphere, and a well-earned serving of classic Fish and Chips.

The episode also highlights alternative shore excursions from Southampton, including trips to London, Stonehenge, Bath, and Titanic-related sites, showcasing just how diverse this port can be.

A fitting and memorable conclusion to the Metropolis Tour, this episode brings royal history, personal impressions, and the spirit of travel together one last time.

🎧 Sit back, listen in, and enjoy the final chapter of this journey beyond the waves.
