The Corner Brook Port Corporation is committed to creating a robust market with inspired entrepreneurs, marketing and selling a versatile mix of products so that we provide the best experience for cruise passengers. Our reputation for having the friendliest people and excellent market offerings gives us a significant advantage.

Location & Shed Specifications

The cruise market will remain on the south part of the dock for the 2023 season. As passengers disembark, they will walk through the market and again upon returning to the ship. When a ship is at anchor, passengers will tender into the floating dock, proceed up the gangway, and walk along the strategically placed barricades toward the market before they can exit the dock.

The port has two available sheds both 12’x12’ in size for the 2023 season. All sheds are equipped with electricity, windows, and two entrances to minimize congestion and increase the fluidity in the flow of customers in and out of the sheds.

The Corner Brook Port Corporation does not supply tables, shelving, or other accessories for vendors to display their products. Before installing any permanent fixture inside or outside the shed, vendors must seek permission written to the Corner Brook Port Corporation’s business development manager.

Application and Selection

The Corner Brook Port Corporation will examine all submitted application and determine which vendors and products best represent our overarching goals for the cruise market. Following a review of applications from past vendors and if we have any remaining space available, we will welcome and review external applications. Price to rent a 12′ x 12′ shed for the full season is $1,680.00 + HST.

Application should be emailed to contact@cornerbrokport.com
