Frontiers North Adventures has offered a Churchill to Winnipeg with Aurora viewing package, including a one-way flight and a rail journey return.
One of Canada’s lesser-known rail journeys happens to be one of the most extraordinary. In the province of Manitoba in central Canada, a two-night iconic train route operates between the gateway city of Winnipeg and the sub arctic town of Churchill, where during the winter Aurora season the night skies light up the glass dome carriage with an array of colours.
The train journey travels through sweeping tundra, boreal forest, and pristine wilderness, passengers are immersed in a sense of scale and solitude found nowhere else.
As part of a Frontiers North package in Churchill, travellers enjoy expertly guided experiences, including dedicated aurora viewing excursions out onto the tundra, cultural interpretation, and comfortable northern accommodations. Known for its decades of experience in polar tourism, Frontiers North enhances the journey with local expertise, ensuring guests are in the best locations and conditions to witness the Aurora Borealis as it dances across the night sky.
The Via Rail journey itself is a highlight, offering panoramic views, comfortable onboard amenities, and a relaxed pace that allows travellers to truly absorb the landscape. During Aurora season, the route’s minimal light pollution creates ideal conditions for northern lights viewing, adding a sense of wonder to the overnight rail experience.
