Experience the world in ease and comfort with Ultimate Journeys by Viva Holidays.
There are regular holidays, then there are bespoke journeys filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Expertly curated for the discerning traveller, Ultimate Journeys by Viva Holidays invites you to consider the latter, each tour designed with exclusive access and one-touch-booking in mind.
Take a dog sled ride through the Canadian wilderness.
Ultimate polar bear discovery
Take off to Churchill, the polar bear capital of the world, where a multitude of exclusive experiences – each one designed to make the most of seeing these wild animals in their natural habitat – make up the bulk of this small group tour (there’s a maximum of 20 guests).
Traverse the Arctic wilderness in search of local wildlife with a guided two-day private Tundra Buggy adventure available only to Ultimate Journeys guests, and enjoy the thrill (plus the spray of snow) of a dog sled ride. Keen to immerse yourself in local folklore and history? The tour starts in Winnipeg with the award-winning Journey to Churchill exhibit at Assiniboine Park Conservancy, followed by a private dinner at Aurora Borealis Theatre, before taking off to Churchill the next morning.
The itinerary also includes an evening with a local trapper, as well as an exclusive cocktail reception in the underwater viewing tunnels in Gateway to the Arctic, where seals and polar bears frolic overhead.

Gain exclusive access to Ireland’s top beverage and food producers on this intimate tour.
