Directly adjacent to the Marco Polo Cruise Terminal, passengers can delight in an authentic and unique Saint John experience wrapped up in over 60 shipping containers: the AREA 506 Waterfront Container Village.

In June 2022, the container village opened its doors, playing host to a diverse collection of retail shops, food trucks, a crew lounge, and performance space - complete with a two-storey viewing deck! You will be wowed by epic public art displays, pop-up activities, and live entertainment.

WEATHER

Our peak cruise ship season is in the fall when the leaves are changing and there is a crispness to the air. In the summer months, guests from warmer climates enjoy our cooler, coastal air. We recommend dressing in layers while visiting Saint John.
