Sauna Boat River Cruise
Description
On the Sauna Boat River Cruise, you will unwind in a floating Finnish sauna, a local tradition, while enjoying panoramic views of the Rovaniemi forests.
Sauna Boat River Cruise
After being picked up from your hotel in Rovaniemi at the scheduled time, you will be taken into the mysterious forests surrounding the capital of Lapland for a unique experience to remember. What awaits you? All will be revealed below!
Upon arrival at a lake, you will encounter typical Finnish saunas, but with a unique twist: they're floating! Built in the summer of 2012, these structures were designed to modernize the traditional bathing ritual. Curious? Step on board to discover how it works!
Here, you will cruise on the lake aboard your sauna boat, which features a traditional wood cabin where you can relax and enjoy the heat. Benches on the deck allow for sunbathing and absorbing the stunning views, or, depending on the time you choose for your activity, you may bask in the extraordinary midnight sun!
Before concluding the tour, you will be served delicious blueberry tea on board the floating sauna boat. Additionally, you can take a refreshing dip in the lake.
At the end of this memorable cruise on the Finnish lakes, you will be returned to Rovaniemi and dropped off at your hotel.
