Start your day with your new Vietnam Travel family (Source: Internet)Few experiences beat waking up on a traditional junk boat as the sun rises over 1,600 limestone islands, surrounded by new friends you met just 24 hours earlier. Halong Bay is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site – it’s the number-one destination where solo travelers instantly become a tribe.
Every single day, Legend Travel Group departs from Hanoi with small groups of independent adventurers (average 12–18 people) who all chose the same dream: to explore Vietnam together without ever feeling alone.
With only a 10% deposit required (balance due 30 days before sailing), you can secure your spot today and keep complete peace of mind.
Our flagship cruise designed exclusively for solos & small groups. Private cabin (no forced sharing), onboard happy hours, kayaking buddies, and sunset parties on the top deck.
Fewer crowds, more adventure. Includes Cat Ba Island stay, cycling, and deeper connections with your new travel family.
Perfect for solos who want comfort without loneliness – private balcony cabins, spa, and intimate group dinners.
Every Friday departure guaranteed for solo travelers only – maximum fun, zero awkward moments.
