Winnipeg’s Cultural Prelude
Start in Winnipeg — a warm gateway city to the Arctic’s chill. Dive into Canada’s rich Indigenous and northern arts scene at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, taste prairie-flavors at Forks Market, and savor the anticipation of what comes next as you look toward ice, sky and wild coastline.
A journey into pristine wilderness where the ice meets the sky
Your Sub-Arctic Sanctuary
You’ll be journeying into isolation in style, staying at Churchill Wild’s Seal River Heritage Lodge. This remote retreat offers comfort among the elements — cozy cabins, nourishing meals, and guides who know how to bring you close to nature without compromising safety or warmth.
Encounters with Polar Majesty
Each expedition is designed for awe. Walk through tundra, track polar bears in their natural habitat, and capture moments that feel timeless. Floating ice sheets, snow-crusted landscapes, and the still, crisp air become your companions. On certain nights, the aurora dances overhead, painting the darkness green and pink.
Final Moments & Reflections
After your wilderness adventure, return to Winnipeg one last time. Gather at sunset, perhaps with a local craft in hand, and reflect on how the Arctic shaped you. The stories, the silence, the wildlife—all become part of who you are when you return home.
