London, 26th April 2025 – The UK’s first Sauna Boat is set to host a steamy Scandinavian celebration for World Sauna Day and their grand opening this Saturday, 26th April. The iconic waterways of Canary Wharf will be transformed into a unique Scandinavian experience, brought to you by Skuna Boats, the home of London’s most distinctive on-water experiences.
Sailing all the way from Sweden to the heart of Canary Wharf, Skuna’s wood-fired Sauna Boat invites guests to experience the true essence of Nordic sauna culture. The 15-seater, wood-fired sauna is complete with rooftop cold water plunge pools, making it the perfect setting for a grand opening celebration bursting with Scandi flair.
Guests can expect a range of activities and experiences, including taster sauna sessions with live DJs, a live ABBA cover band called “ABBAs Angels”, Scandinavian sweet and savoury treats, sauna beers and cocktails, and a chance to meet the team and hear the sauna’s story.
But this event is more than just a sauna experience, it is a celebration of the Scandinavian way of life. In Scandinavian culture, saunas are not just spaces for wellness and restoration, but also social hubs where people come together to relax and connect.
The event will take place on Saturday, 26th April 2025 from 11am-3pm at the Skuna Boats Dock, located at West India Quay, Off Hertsmere Rd, London E14 4AL. Guests can enjoy free social sauna sessions, Scandi food and drink, and live music from the legendary ABBA cover group [insert band name], with East London DJ Mini-Mel keeping the vibes warm all afternoon.
So grab your sauna ship mates, throw on your robe, and come celebrate World Sauna Day the Scandi way. For more information and booking, visit www.skunaboats.com or www.skunaboats.com/sauna-boat.
