Kent, UK, 2026-Jan-19 — /Travel PR News/ — Tailor-made holiday specialist Frontier Canada has unveiled a collection of new journeys, returning highlights and limited-time offers for 2026. From Atlantic Canada’s remote coastal communities to Indigenous-led experiences in the Rockies and classic rail, steamship and wildlife adventures, the latest additions combine authenticity, adventure and a hint of luxury.
The tour operator’s latest escorted tour takes time travellers deep into Newfoundland and Labrador. The holiday’s standout location is Battle Harbour, set on a small island in the Labrador Sea. Once the unofficial capital of Labrador and the salt-fish capital of the world, the beautifully restored 19th-century fishing village offers a rare insight into local communities on a two-night stay with guided walks, boat tours and accommodation based in carefully restored heritage properties. The itinerary also features three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Gros Morne National Park, Red Bay, and L’Anse aux Meadows, the only known Viking settlement in North America. Scenic coastal drives and immersive cultural experiences reveal a region shaped by sea, survival, and story. 11-night Battle Harbour & Great Northern Peninsula escorted tour from £3,740pp (two sharing), including accommodation, some meals and return Air Canada flights from London Heathrow to Halifax in economy. Departing August 13.
Focused solely on Atlantic Canada, the operator’s “Discover the Stories” social media campaign will run through February 28, 2026, on Facebook. Designed to encourage travellers to engage more deeply with the region, the content will invite people to connect with everything from ancient landscapes through to history and folklore.
An immersive journey through the heart of Western Canada, the 15-night Discover Alberta fly drive reveals a province where Indigenous heritage, frontier history and landscapes are deeply intertwined. From Edmonton’s world-class museums and Indigenous art spaces to the roaming bison of Elk Island National Park and the living traditions of Métis Crossing, Alberta’s narrative is told through ancient and contemporary voices. Jasper and Banff frame culture through mountains, music and storytelling, while Painted Warrior Ranch invites travellers into the foothills for horseback journeys that connect riders with a more spiritual wilderness. Further south, Alberta’s Badlands, prairie towns and national parks unearth layers of history, culminating at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, the holiday ending in Calgary. Prices on request.

The 10-night Rodeo to Riding adventure captures the true spirit of the West. One of the holiday’s defining experiences is a multi-day horseback trip with Banff Trail Riders, travellers charting Banff National Park’s historic Erling Strom Trail: a path forged by the renowned explorer in the early 1900s. Nights are spent in remote backcountry lodges, including Halfway Lodge, the property’s second storey installed after an unexpected bear visit in 1967. Framed by iconic landscapes including Lake Louise and Sulphur Mountain, this trip contrasts the high-octane Western spectacle of the Stampede with soulful immersion in Canada’s oldest national park. Available with transfers or as a fly-drive Calgary Stampede, July 3–12, 2026. Prices on request.
The perfect introduction to Canada’s heartland, the 11-night Ontario Essentials holiday captures the best of the province, showcasing everything from Toronto’s glittering skyline and Niagara’s thundering falls to the mirror-still lakes and pine-scented trails of Algonquin. Experience a cruise beneath waterfalls, paddle through misty wildernesses, and wander the canals of Ottawa, the capital celebrating its 200th anniversary with events planned throughout the year. The journey concludes in historic Kingston, set along the St. Lawrence River, with opportunities to explore its waterfront streets, 19th-century forts, and the 1000 Islands area before driving back to Toronto. Prices on request.

Set in the heart of British Columbia’s Broughton Archipelago, the newly titled Berry Island Wilderness Lodge (formerly Farewell Harbour Lodge) is located in one of the most biologically rich coastal regions in Canada. Guided wildlife viewing is by Zodiac boat and on foot, with guests exploring the maze of quiet inlets, tidal channels and forested shorelines, where grizzly bears forage, and the surrounding waters, which are a seasonal draw for humpback and killer whales. The West Coast retreat features cedar-clad suites, panoramic harbour views, and ocean-facing decks where sunsets and wildlife sightings often unfold. New for this season, the lodge has reduced its minimum age requirement from 10 to 7 years, making the experience accessible to a wider range of families. Frontier Canada suggests booking early to enjoy the salmon run, from late August through October. Prices on request.

Reintroduced for 2026, the Grand Muskoka Cottage Tour is a highlight of the 13-night Lakeside Adventures in Ontario fly-drive, the excursion immersing guests in one of Canada’s most storied summer playgrounds. Sailing aboard the classic Wenonah II, the full-day cruise traces the length of Lake Muskoka, past the grand boathouses and historic estates of Millionaires’ Row, before gliding through Port Carling’s famous locks and on to Lakes Rosseau and Joseph. Lunch is served in the ship’s dining room before guests are welcomed ashore for a private tour of one of Lake Joseph’s most historic summer homes, a rare glimpse into Muskoka’s gilded past. Afternoon sweets accompany the leisurely return to Gravenhurst, rounding off a day that captures the heritage and quiet grandeur of cottage country: Canada’s answer to the Hamptons.
