Step into Canada’s breathtaking North — where polar bears roam the tundra, beluga whales sing through icy waters, and the aurora dances across vast Arctic skies. 

This is Churchill, Manitoba. Remote, raw, and like nowhere else on Earth. 

We’ll venture into the wild on Four Wheel vehicles  and expedition boats, meet Indigenous elders who share stories of land and spirit, and recharge in comfort at the Blueberry Inn  — the region’s newest luxury lodge. 

In true Divine style, we’ll pair adventure with intention. Our journey supports polar bear conservation, ensuring this magical region thrives for generations to come. 

This is your chance to witness Canada’s wild heart — and be part of protecting it and those iconic polar bears!

Churchill, Manitoba is a rural area of Northern Manitoba that is only reachable by train or plane! There are literally no roads leading to Churchill.

Find booking your own travel just too much work? Consider using our Luxury Experience Concierge.

You may prefer to book your own airfare directly, however, should you require assistance, our amazing Luxury Experience Concierge, Laurie Genereaux would be more than happy to help you with your flight arrangements as well as any pre or post trip activities you may be interested in.

At The Divine Destination Collection, giving back isn’t just a buzzword – it’s at the core of everything we do. We believe in making a real difference and rather than focusing on large-scale initiatives, we champion grassroots efforts that directly benefit the people and places we encounter.

We are currently exploring the opportunity to be part of the inception of a new Polar Bear Initiative being right in the community of Churchill by The Churchill North Study Centre and The Churchill Branch to directly help fund initiatives to help with the co-existence and human/ bear encounters.  This would be an amazing opportunity for all of us to make a difference in a community that we will have the privilege to visit.
