About Us
Real Finnish Sauna. Shared with You.
Welcome to Northern Star, where Finnish culture comes to life in the most authentic and personal way.
Our love for sauna traditions runs deep. It’s in our heritage, our daily life, and now at the heart of Northern Star. Curious to join us? Let’s see where the warmth takes you.
Our Mission...
…is simple: to provide the most authentic and immersive Finnish sauna experiences possible.
Northern Star was created to share something close to the heart: the Finnish sauna tradition.
Each journey is thoughtfully designed to reflect the true spirit of Finland – its nature, its people, and its culture. We work with local experts, unique locations, and carefully chosen details to create meaningful moments.
Whether you’re a sauna lover or simply curious, we welcome you to experience Finland the Northern Star way.
Our Story...
… started in 2024 with a dream to share something close to home: the Finnish sauna tradition. It began as a personal passion and has grown into a way to invite more people to experience the calm and connection that sauna brings.
Our founder, Ida Kaijalainen grew up with sauna as a constant. Even when she lived and travelled far from Finland, sauna was her link back — a ritual that always brought her home again.
Our way...
…of working is centered around authenticity, genuine connection and community.
We believe that travel should offer more than movement. It should offer meaning. At Northern Star, sauna isn’t just part of the plan. It is the plan. Each journey is designed with care, in places you might never find alone, with people who live this culture every day.
You won’t be handed a list of must-see saunas. Instead, you’ll share warm moments with locals, hear stories by the fire, and step into places that stay with you long after you’ve gone home.
