Halong bay cruise & traveling alone

[gullcruiser]

Hello, I would like to know your thoughts on single travel on a 2 day cruise from Halong Bay. Would hate to miss this beautiful area, but believe the cruises are mostly made up of couples. I can get a single room so that is not a problem, just don't want to feel out of place.

Thank and have a great day!

Go and enjoy yourself. When we went I don't remember any singles but there were families. People were all friendly and we had a great time.

 

I highly recommend: Indochina Cruises as they go to a secluded area where only their few ships are allowed. We went on the Dragon's Pearl for two nights.

I'd also recommend Indochina Junks and the Bai Tu Long part of Halong Bay (they are the only company licensed to go there). I went on the Red Dragon for one night as a solo and really enjoyed it. Wish I'd done two nights.

I would not hesitate to go as a solo. The total number of passengers is small anyway, and we found there was a lot of camaraderie onboard. We went with Aphrodite cruises and were pleased.

Go anyway - I traveled solo in Asia (and all around the world) and I took a small tour too....it was a mix of couples and there was another person solo too. Everyone was friendly and 20 years later, just this past weekend, a couple from New Zealand I met on my China tour visited me here in the US...for the second time - I have already visited them in New Zealand.

 

Have a great time on your holiday :)

Trend, who are you asking?

 

I was not off a cruise ship.

I always enjoy talking with solo travelers whenever we go places. They seem braver and more approachable than couples. Do what you love, life is short.

Ours was part of a larger tour/cruise with AMA Waterways; I think this portion chartered an Indochina boat. Plenty of singles in our group, everyone sat and chatted together - it was lovely!

I thought you did this while in port on a ship.
