Classic FM and Discover the World are offering you the chance to win a short break for two to experience the wonder of the polar bear in its natural habitat on Canada’s arctic tundra.

Discover the World is one of the UK’s leading specialist tour operators and have been operating high-quality holidays for 25 years to select destinations around the world, including the Polar Regions. 

For a short time each year, the remote Canadian town of Churchill, Manitoba is transformed into the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’ where in October and November as many as 1200 bears gather here. Our trips to Churchill get you out into the frozen wilderness in an outsize ‘Tundra Buggy’ which provides you with a unique opportunity to view these bears, at a safe distance. With their huge special tyres, the buggies easily navigate the uneven terrain and offer an elevated position, giving a clear view of the incredible animals outside.

Our Polar Bear Overnighter 5-day holiday begins with a night in Winnipeg, a modern and friendly city with a rich history as a former trading post for the First Nation people. Following a morning scheduled flight to Churchill you’ll have time to sample the cosy hospitality of this unique northern town. Its long main street and low rise buildings bring back memories of ‘pioneer’ days. One full day will be spent out in the wild in a tundra buggy, allowing you the chance to observe these magnificent creatures up close before returning to Winnipeg later that evening. The following morning return back to the UK via Toronto (allowing 1 day for air travel).
