We came alone. We float together. (Source: Internet)You want to wake up on a boat to the smell of fresh phở.
You want to drift through floating markets at sunrise with nobody blocking your shot.
You want to drink rice wine with a fisherman’s family while 11 other solo travelers become your instant crew.
And you want a private cabin so you can disappear when you need quiet.
That’s exactly what Legend Travel Group delivers.
70–80 % of our Mekong cruise guests travel solo – meaning the moment you step on board, you’re already home.
All cruises: max 12 travelers • 70–80 % solo • private or twin-share cabin • daily guaranteed departures
