2026 Biennial - Vietnam
March 3, 2026 - March 9, 2026
Cost: $2,000 per person
The journey doesn’t end in Vietnam! From March 3-6, 2026, we’ll soak up the beauty of southern Thailand with a mix of laid-back travel, unforgettable sights, and great company. You’ll tour temples, cruise through limestone cliffs, explore caves and mangroves, and get a taste of the region’s wildlife and rainforests. There’s also plenty of time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the experience at your own pace. We’ll wrap it all up with a special farewell dinner.
TRIP INSURANCE
The International Palm Society strongly recommends that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before embarking on their journey. Such insurance offers crucial protection against unforeseen circumstances that might disrupt or influence your travel arrangements. While we make every effort to ensure a seamless trip, certain situations beyond our control could potentially result in unanticipated setbacks such as delays, cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost possessions.
Travel insurance should always include:
-
Medical expenses and coverage to get you home if you're injured or fall ill abroad.
-
Personal injury and coverage for accidents or damage caused by you.
-
Coverage for lost or damaged items.
-
Cover for lost or delayed baggage.
Travel insurance should apply to the total value of pre-tour, Biennial, and post-tour if you plan on going on any of these trips, including airfare and registration fees.

CANCELLATION POLICY
We understand that plans can change. However, due to the nature of international group travel and the commitments made in advance, the following cancellation charges will apply once the rooming list has been received:
- 30 to 22 days before arrival: 25% of the total tour price.
- 21 to 8 days before arrival: 50% of the total tour price.
- 7 days or less before arrival or no-show: 100% of the total tour price.
Cancellations must be submitted in writing. Refunds, if applicable, will be processed according to the above schedule. We recommend purchasing travel insurance (providers listed above) to protect against unforeseen circumstances.
