Sauna Ferry Auroora is a spacious sauna raft on Lake Pyhäjärvi in Tampere, designed for small groups of up to twelve guests plus crew. Built by hand in Tampere, the ferry offers more than 100 square metres of space with both indoor and outdoor areas: a wood-heated sauna with custom-made benches, a cosy lounge, dressing room, toilet, shower with heated lake water, fridge and air conditioning. On the large roof terrace of about 50 m² there are seating areas and tables, as well as a hot tub where you can relax while taking in views of the shoreline and city lights. Swim stairs at the back make it easy to dip directly into the lake between sauna sessions.
The home pier is on Lake Pyhäjärvi in Tampere, with boarding from the L-pier in Ratina, and all cruises are operated by a qualified skipper; the boat is inspected, CE-approved and equipped with the required safety gear, including life jackets and first aid. A typical cruise lasts about three hours, but the duration and route on Pyhäjärvi can be tailored to the group – from staying near the harbour to exploring more open parts of the lake. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, use the gas grill on board and set up their own celebration or relaxed evening. Sauna Ferry Auroora is well suited for birthdays, team events, stag and hen parties or any occasion where you want to combine Finnish sauna culture, lake swimming and a scenic boat trip in Tampere.
