The UK’s First Sauna Boat Hosts a Steamy Scandinavian Celebration for World Sauna Day & Their Grand Opening this Saturday 26th April

LONDON, 26th April 2025 – Get ready to meet in the heat as Canary Wharf’s iconic waterways are transformed for World Sauna Day with a uniquely Scandinavian celebration aboard the UK’s first and only Sauna Boat, brought to you by Skuna Boats, the home of London’s most unique on-water experiences.

Having sailed in 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 in the 15 seater, wood fired Sauna, complete with rooftop cold water plunge pools in an opening celebration bursting with Scandi flair.

What to expect:

• Taster Sauna Sessions + live DJs – A chance to step inside the UK’s first sauna boat and feel the magic for yourself
• Live ABBA Cover Band – Bringing the sparkle and spirit of Sweden’s best-loved pop group to the dockside with ‘ABBAs Angels’.
• Scandinavian Sweet & Savoury Treats – From cardamom buns to smoked meats, sample the flavours of the North.
• Sauna Beers & cocktails – Sip, steam, and socialise with drinks made for our Sauna experience.
• Meet the Team & Hear the Sauna’s Story – Learn how this authentic sauna made its journey from Sweden to London, and the passion that fuelled its arrival.

More than just a Sauna – this is a celebration of the Scandinavian way of life, where saunas are social hubs as much as spaces of wellness and restoration.
