Solo travel doesn’t mean traveling alone (Source: Internet)Few places on earth match the magic of waking up alone-yet-not-alone on a traditional junk boat surrounded by 2,000 limestone islands. Ha Long Bay is naturally social: every cruise, kayak trip, and sunset party brings independent travelers together instantly.
Legend Travel Group has been running dedicated Solo Traveler cruises here since 2008 – no forced single supplements, no awkward dinners, just instant friends and epic memories.
With only a 10% deposit (balance due 30 days before departure), you can secure your spot today and keep complete peace of mind.
Daily departures exclusively for solo travelers aged 18–45. Private cabin (no supplement), onboard hostel-style bar, group kayaking, and sunset party deck.
→ 95% of guests make friends on night one.
Smaller group (max 20 solos), visits less-touristy Bai Tu Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay, private balcony cabins, cooking class, and floating village visit.
Modern luxury ship with rooftop jacuzzi, nightly live music, and “Solo Travelers Table” at dinner – perfect if you want comfort + socializing.
Shared 4-berth cabin with other solos (same gender on request), party boat atmosphere, free beer hour – legendary value.
