Floating saunas in Oslo, Norway
Fjordtokt Båt & Badstu
Fjordtokt runs three wood-fired saunas at the tip of the breakwater at Sollerud in west Oslo, five minutes' walk from Lysaker station. Neptun, a sauna raft, and Caldarium, a sauna boat, float at the pier, while Afrodite, a sauna wagon, stands on land five metres from the water. From the floating saunas guests jump straight into the fjord. Drop-in places (up to eight, swimwear kept on) and private sessions are booked online for one to two hours, and guests keep the fire going themselves.
KOK Aker Brygge
At Aker Brygge, KOK has four wood-fired sauna boats on a pier by the harbour promenade, facing Akershus Fortress and the inner archipelago. The shared sauna, FELLESKOK, takes up to eight people for 1.5 hours including changing, and a sauna master keeps the stove going. Guests cool off by jumping into the fjord or using a ladder. There is a rinsing hose but no cold shower, and no toilets on the pier. Boats can also be hired privately for up to ten people or booked for a sauna cruise.
Kongen Marina Sauna
Kongen Marina Sauna is a glass-dome sauna on a raft beside the restaurant terrace at Kongen Marina on Frognerstranda, with a view across the Oslofjord. It is open every day, year-round, and runs at 90–100 °C. A shared session takes up to ten guests, and drop-in is possible if there is room; private hire takes up to twelve. Everyone must shower and wear swimwear in the sauna. A unisex changing room with a cold shower is in the pink annex on the raft, and drinks are served from the restaurant.
KOK Langkaia
KOK runs wood-fired floating sauna boats at Langkaia in central Oslo, near Bjørvika and the central station, facing the Opera House and the Munch Museum.
