Five-day Canada train trip for less than $1,000

Saturday, 29 Mar, 2012 0

 A new five-day, summer tour by train to Canada’s far north introduces travelers to the flora, fauna and history of one of North America’s most unique towns – Churchill, Manitoba – for less than $1000.

The itinerary takes passengers on a 1,000-mile journey by rail from the modern city of Winnipeg through towering boreal forest, tundra and remote communities to the shores of Hudson Bay. It also takes passengers by tour boat to view the pods of diminutive Beluga whales that congregate in the mouth of the Churchill River by the thousands.

The five-day, four-night "Churchill Summer Escape" is offered by The Great Canadian Travel Company. It’s priced at $962 per person, based on double occupancy.

The package includes one way transportation between Winnipeg and Churchill by train and one way by air; two nights’ accommodations in Churchill at the Bear Country Inn; transfers in Churchill, plus a half-day boat tour.  Taxes are extra. The single supplement is $129.  

Accommodation on board the train will be confirmed in coach seats, but upgrades to berths or a cabin available upon request.

There are departures throughout July and August.
