    Jun 26 2026

    In this episode of TSJ CruisePod, the World Cruise 2025 continues across southern Australia with visits to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, and Albany.

    Adelaide introduces us to a city known for its green spaces, relaxed atmosphere, and high quality of life. Despite rainy weather, we discover the Botanic Garden, historic neighborhoods, and even experience everyday life through a local train journey to Outer Harbor.

    Kangaroo Island delivers one of the most authentic nature experiences of the voyage. From stunning coastal scenery and frequent kangaroo sightings to the island’s famous Ligurian bees and delicious honey products, the day offers a perfect introduction to Australia’s wild side.

    In Albany, Western Australia, we step back into history. Exploring museums, historic buildings, and local markets reveals the story of one of the region’s earliest settlements. A surprise opportunity to ring the bells of St John’s Anglican Church becomes one of the most memorable moments of the day.

    Jun 19 2026

    In this episode of TSJ CruisePod, the World Cruise 2025 takes us to three fascinating destinations across Australia: Sydney, Eden, and Melbourne.

    Sydney welcomes us with its world-famous harbor, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge. Over two days, we explore both the city’s iconic sights and its wildlife, including unforgettable encounters with koalas, wombats, and kangaroos. An unexpected police operation on board adds a surprising twist to our departure.

    In Eden, nature takes center stage. A unique golf-cart safari brings us face-to-face with kangaroos in their natural environment, while the Killer Whale Museum tells the remarkable story of Old Tom, the famous orca who once cooperated with local whalers.

    Melbourne provides a completely different perspective on Australia. From a river cruise on the Yarra and the relaxed atmosphere of St Kilda to the powerful Shrine of Remembrance and the city’s cultural landmarks, Melbourne reveals why it is considered Australia’s cultural capital.

    Three destinations, three unique experiences, and another unforgettable chapter of this world cruise.

    In this episode of TSJ CruisePod, the journey takes us from the South Island of New Zealand to the wild landscapes of Tasmania, with three unforgettable stops: Dunedin, Milford Sound, and Hobart.

    Dunedin impresses with its strong Scottish heritage and well-preserved Victorian architecture. A visit to Olveston House offers insight into life in the early 20th century, while the Botanic Gardens and coastal scenery provide a peaceful contrast.
