Frontier Canada, a leading specialist in tailor-made holidays, is unveiling an exciting range of new adventures for 2025 and beyond—each journey designed to take travellers off the beaten path and into the heart of Canada’s breathtaking wilderness, rich culture, and storied past.
Jeremy Timms, Managing Director of Frontier Canada, comments, “Canada is an endlessly surprising destination, where even well-travelled visitors can still find fresh wonders. What makes our latest collection so extraordinary is the richness of the experiences, from encounters with wildlife to timeless voyages cruising some of the country’s last true frontiers.”
This summer, a new six-night safari will unveil the untamed beauty of Churchill, Manitoba, where this short season—often overshadowed by the town’s famous fall and winter offerings—is set to reveal thousands of belugas migrating to Hudson Bay, their vocalisations captured via hydrophone. The small group adventure features a helicopter flightseeing tour; four boat outings, including two beginner-friendly kayak excursions for eye-level whale encounters; and quiet wildlife observation guided by a naturalist expedition leader. An additional dog-sled “tundra safari” ensures there is plenty of opportunity to scout the wildflower-strewn landscape for polar bears, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, snowy owls and ptarmigans. Led by a Métis musher, the activity is one of many cultural experiences, as the holiday also incorporates an exclusive opportunity to meet revered elders of the Inuit and Métis First Nation peoples. Available dates in July and August include “women only” departures.
The existing 14-night Greenland & Wild Labrador small ship expedition will embark anew in 2026 with the freshly chartered Ocean Nova, welcoming just 78 guests to explore beyond the familiar. Greenland’s dramatic fjords and the vibrant capital of Nuuk serve as a prelude to the main event: Labrador’s Torngat Mountains. Accessible only by air or sea, this untouched subarctic wilderness is so wild and remote that it is often described as one of Canada’s last true frontiers. Hiking excursions showcase the region’s extraordinary wildlife, from polar bears to black bears, while encounters with Nunatsiavut’s Inuit offer a rare glimpse into the traditions of those who have called this land home for millennia. Sailing further along the province’s rugged coast, zodiac safaris explore the region’s coastal barrens, boreal forests, wetlands, and craggy shorelines, with the ship visiting the Viking heritage site of L’Anse aux Meadows before docking at St. John’s. Frontier Canada suggests blending the sea faring adventure with a tailor-made self-drive itinerary, including hikes in the Terra Nova and Gros Morne National Parks and whale watching at Bonavista. Departing August 28, 2026.
This August, a new chapter unfolds in Muskoka’s storied travel legacy with the Grand Muskoka Resort Overnight Voyage, a two-day journey debuting on August 10, 2025. For the first time, the Wenonah II—the largest vessel in the Muskoka Steamships fleet—will go beyond its traditional day cruises to deliver guests directly to the historic Windermere House Resort on Lake Rosseau, a Victorian gem founded in 1870. Travellers will sail past the opulent shores of Millionaire’s Row, dine at The Oar Restaurant, a local hotspot, and enjoy breakfast and dinner at the resort, with a final lunch served aboard the ship on its return leg. Limited to a single overnight departure, the voyage offers an intimate glimpse into Muskoka’s gilded past, this lakeside enclave in Ontario described by many as Canada’s answer to the Hamptons. A taste of old-world elegance wrapped in stunning lake country scenery; the excursion is a delightful addition to Frontier Canada’s 13-night Lakeside Fly Drive Adventure.
Tucked away on the edge of British Columbia’s remote Johnstone Strait, Frontier Canada’s new 3-night kayak-centred retreat fuses wellness and wildlife. Guests begin each day with guided paddles past forested coastlines and the legendary Robson Bight/Michael Bigg Ecological Reserve—a key habitat for killer whales. Off the water, the experience shifts into self-discovery, with mindfulness practices and wellness sessions held against the backdrop of ocean views. Wellness & Wilderness Retreat departs July 06-09 and September 10-13.
Jasper National Park has long been a sanctuary for adventurers and nature enthusiasts. While the 2024 wildfires burned 96,000 acres in the heart of the park and a large portion of the town, the area’s remarkable recovery is a testament to the resilience of both nature and the community. To celebrate this new chapter and encourage visitors to rediscover Jasper’s breathtaking landscapes, Frontier Canada has released ‘Canada: 80 Places to Love,’ a photo album that highlights the nation’s most captivating destinations, with a special focus on the national park. For those planning a summer visit, accommodations like Jasper’s Forest Park Hotel offer a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. Alternatively, travel in the autumn and experience the annual Dark Sky Festival in October.
