A sauna offers more than just relaxation—it’s a gateway to numerous health benefits that enhance overall well-being. At MS Vulkana, we elevate your wellness experience with our unique wood-fired sauna, combined with the invigorating option to jump into the Arctic sea. This combination of hot and cold therapies offers exceptional benefits for your body and mind.


1. Promotes Relaxation and Stress Relief

One of the most immediate and rewarding benefits of using a sauna is its ability to promote relaxation. The gentle warmth of our wood-fired sauna helps to relax muscles and ease tension, while the serene environment provides a mental break from daily stresses. Onboard MS Vulkana, you can enjoy this peaceful escape as you take in the breathtaking Arctic surroundings.


2. Enhances Circulation and Cardiovascular Health

The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to expand, which improves circulation and can lower



pressure. Regular use of our wood-fired sauna on MS Vulkana can enhance cardiovascular health by supporting blood vessel function and reducing the risk of heart disease. The increased heart rate experienced in the sauna also mimics the benefits of moderate exercise.


3. Supports Detoxification

Sweating is a natural process that helps the body eliminate toxins and impurities. Our wood-fired sauna induces deep sweating, which assists in detoxification and cleansing. This can lead to clearer skin and improved overall bodily function, making it a perfect addition to your wellness routine while cruising through the majestic fjords.


4. Improves Skin Health

The deep sweating experienced in our sauna helps to cleanse pores and remove dead skin cells, promoting healthier and more radiant skin. The increased blood flow stimulated by the sauna’s heat can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a glowing complexion as you relax in the Arctic.


5. Relieves Muscle and Joint Pain

For those with muscle or joint pain, the warmth of our wood-fired sauna can provide significant relief. The heat increases blood flow to sore muscles and stiff joints, reducing tension and easing discomfort. Whether you’ve been skiing the Lyngen Alps or exploring the fjords, our sauna offers a soothing retreat for your body.


6. Boosts Immune Function

Regular sauna use can help stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections. By enjoying the sauna on MS Vulkana, you can potentially strengthen your immune system, helping your body better resist illnesses and infections during your Arctic adventure.


7. Enhances Sleep Quality

Ending your day with a sauna session can improve your sleep quality. The relaxation and stress relief provided by our wood-fired sauna can help you wind down before bed, leading to a more restful and uninterrupted night’s sleep.


8. Cold and Hot Therapy: A Powerful Combination

On MS Vulkana, you can take your wellness experience a step further by jumping into the Arctic sea and then returning to the warmth of our sauna. This combination of hot and cold therapies is known for its invigorating effects. The sudden exposure to cold water helps to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and increase energy levels. Alternating between the hot sauna and the cold sea enhances these benefits, promoting faster recovery, reducing muscle soreness, and invigorating the body and mind.


Conclusion

At MS Vulkana, our wood-fired sauna, combined with the option to dip into the Arctic sea, offers a unique and comprehensive wellness experience. From promoting relaxation and enhancing circulation to supporting detoxification and improving skin health, the benefits of our sauna are profound. Join us onboard to experience the ultimate combination of traditional sauna benefits and the stunning Arctic landscape, ensuring a truly rejuvenating adventure.
