The Port of Saint John is a popular stop for cruiseships originating from New York and Boston. The community welcomes passengers with enthusiasm. The "Meet & Greet" committee is on the dock when cruiseships arrive, welcoming passengers with roses for the ladies and pins for the men. A wide variety of local crafts, collectibles, and souvenir items are available from merchants set up on the dock.
Cruise Saint John, a community driven collective of tourism and municipal bodies interested in the growth of cruise in greater Saint John, operates a dedicated group of over fifty volunteers called the Meet & Greet Committee.
