Where can I store luggage in Saint John?

Saint John is Canada's oldest incorporated city, sitting right on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. It's a port city with real character. The Uptown core has old brick buildings, good restaurants and a waterfront boardwalk that looks out over the harbour. The Bay of Fundy tides are some of the highest in the world and you can watch the water reverse direction at Reversing Falls, which is one of those things you just have to see in person.

A lot of visitors arrive by cruise ship. The port gets over 200,000 cruise passengers a year and most of them have about six to eight hours to explore before reboarding. That's not a lot of time, and it's even less if you're hauling bags around. Other people come through on road trips along the Trans-Canada or fly into Saint John Airport for business or to visit family in the Maritimes.

BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Saint John inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, and go see the city properly. It takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Saint John

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses in Saint John that have safe space to store your luggage. Every location is vetted and approved, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no guessing.

We know how it goes. You step off a cruise ship with a day bag and a backpack, or you check out of your hotel at 11am but your flight isn't until the evening. You want to wander the Saint John City Market, grab a bite on Prince William Street, maybe drive out to Reversing Falls. You don't want to do any of that with bags slowing you down.

Where to find luggage storage in Saint John

Saint John is a compact city and most of the things visitors want to see are within walking distance of each other. Here's where our BagDrop locations cover:

Uptown Saint John and King Street

Uptown is the old downtown core and it's where most of the action is. King Street is the main drag with shops, restaurants and cafes. Prince William Street runs parallel and has some of the nicest heritage buildings in the city. If you're spending the day exploring Uptown, you'll want both hands free. The streets are hilly (Saint John is built on hills, fair warning) and dragging a bag up King Street gets old fast. Our BagDrop spots in the Uptown area let you stash your stuff and take your time.

Saint John City Market

The City Market has been running since 1876 and it's one of the oldest continuously operating farmers' markets in Canada. The building itself is worth seeing. Inside you'll find local produce, seafood, baked goods, crafts and a few prepared food stalls where you can grab dulse, fiddleheads or a solid lobster roll. It's a must-visit, but the aisles are narrow and it's busy on weekends. Leave your bags with us before you go in.

Cruise Terminal and Waterfront

The Marco Polo cruise terminal is right on the waterfront and it handles ships from major cruise lines doing the New England and Canada route. When a big ship pulls in, the whole Uptown area fills up with visitors. The terminal itself doesn't offer much in the way of long-term luggage storage, so if you want to explore beyond the immediate port area, a BagsAway BagDrop nearby gives you the freedom to roam without your bags.

Market Square and the Boardwalk

Market Square is a shopping and entertainment complex connected to the harbour boardwalk. It's got shops, restaurants and the New Brunswick Museum. The boardwalk itself is a nice walk along the water, especially on a sunny day. It connects to the cruise terminal area and Uptown, so it's a natural part of any walking route through the city.

Reversing Falls and the West Side

Reversing Falls is about a 10-minute drive from Uptown (or a solid walk if you're up for it). It's where the Saint John River meets the Bay of Fundy and the crazy tides actually make the rapids reverse direction. There's a skywalk, a lookout and a visitor centre. If you're making the trip out there, it's a lot more enjoyable without luggage in the car or on your back.

Rockwood Park

Rockwood Park is one of the largest urban parks in Canada. It's right in the city and has hiking trails, lakes, a campground and even a small zoo. If you're the outdoorsy type and want to spend a few hours on the trails, bags are the last thing you want to bring along. Drop them at a BagDrop before heading into the park.

Other luggage storage options in Saint John

Saint John is a smaller city, so your options are more limited than in a place like Toronto or Montreal. Here's what else is available.

Saint John Airport (YSJ)

Saint John Airport is a small regional airport. There aren't any dedicated luggage storage services or lockers at YSJ. If you've got time between your flight and wherever you need to be, your best bet is a BagsAway BagDrop in the Uptown area. The airport is about a 20-minute drive from the city centre.

Cruise terminal storage

The Marco Polo cruise terminal sometimes has basic bag holding services on port days, but they're limited to the hours the ship is docked and are primarily for passengers heading back to the ship. If you want to explore the city freely and not be tied to the terminal's schedule, a BagsAway location gives you more flexibility.

Hotel storage

Some of the bigger hotels in Saint John, like the Hilton on Market Square, will hold bags for guests before check-in or after check-out. A few might do it for non-guests if you ask, but it's hit or miss. The downside is you're locked to that hotel's location for pick-up, which might not line up with where you end up spending your day.

Bus terminal

If you're arriving by Maritime Bus, the station is small and doesn't have luggage lockers or storage. You'll need to take your bags with you or find an alternative like BagsAway.
