Our 2022 Winter Trip Collection Is Here

With three all-new ways to experience the northern lights, there's something for everyone!

Do you dream of seeing the northern lights? Not many people know it, but Churchill, Manitoba lies directly beneath the auroral oval, making it one of the best places on Earth to see the awe-inspiring aurora borealis!

This small, northern town, which gained renown as Polar Bear Capital of the World in the 1980s, remains lesser known for its winter northern lights experiences. Adventure travellers and photographers will find wonder and peace in this place. There are no crowds here: this is Canada’s North, where the subarctic tundra and taiga meet the edge of the boreal forest.

Our newly released 2022 Winter Trip Collection has more options to experience the northern lights than ever before! The all-new Northern Lights and Winter Nights trips offer the most well-rounded adventure, with a mix of cultural and northern lights-viewing activities built in; while Photo Adventure: Northern Lights in Churchill trips are longer duration and led by a Photo Specialist Guide to maximize opportunities for photographers who want to capture the perfect photo. There is also a new, two-night Calgary to Churchill-direct departure, offering travellers out of Alberta the opportunity to experience an additional iconic Canadian destination: Churchill beneath the northern lights.

Each is an extraordinary experience of its own, the likes of which few travellers will have the chance to experience in their lifetime!

Additional highlights from the 2022 Winter Trip Collection include:
