1. Best Time for Jaw-Dropping Sunsets

• Peak Season (October – April): Clear skies, golden light, cooler temperatures (18–28°C) — the absolute best for dramatic sunsets.

• Shoulder Season (May – September): Fewer boats, dreamy pastel skies, occasional rain showers that often create rainbow sunsets.

• Pro Tip: Book a 2-day/1-night or 3-day/2-night cruise to guarantee at least one perfect sunset (and sunrise!).

2. Why Choose a Group Tour as a Solo Traveler?

• No single supplement on most Legend Travel Group cruises.
