For wildlife encounters that are truly once in a lifetime, few places on earth come close to the Canadian Arctic and the remote town of Churchill on the shores of Hudson Bay. Each autumn, polar bears gather near Churchill as they wait for Hudson Bay to freeze, offering one of the most extraordinary wildlife spectacles on the planet. Churchill is also one of the best places in the world to see beluga whales and the Northern Lights, making it a remarkable destination year-round. Further north, the Canadian Arctic offers expedition cruise itineraries through some of the most pristine and untouched wilderness remaining on earth, where seabirds, narwhal and Arctic foxes thrive far from the noise of modern life. Eclipse Travel offers polar bear tours to Churchill, Canadian Arctic expedition cruises and tailormade itineraries designed for travellers who want to experience the true, wild north.
