JOURNEY TO THE REALM OF THE POLAR BEAR

V IA Rail also boast several “adventure” routes within their network to iconic Canadian destinations such as the tiny town of Churchill in far north Manitoba.

Winnipeg - Churchill

Leave the clamour of Winnipeg behind as you enter the realm of the polar bear. At the end of this 2-night 1,697km track is Churchill, where sub-arctic species prowl the tundra beneath skies illuminated by the aurora borealis as the weather turns cold. Churchill is known as “The Polar Bear Capital of the World”, with bear viewing possible from June through to November, however mid-October to mid-November is considered the peak time for sightings.

The train accommodates guests in comfortable Economy Class - with recliner chairs - or Sleeper Plus - with lie-flat beds, access to the ‘dome car’, and one private washroom with shower facilities per carriage. Year-round, Via Rail’s glassdomed observation car (pictured aboveright) gives passengers unrivalled views of stunning Canadian scenery and magical night skies. The train runs year-round twice weekly departing Winnipeg on Tuesdays and Sundays.
