Cruising from Barcelona is the perfect way to experience the cityâs wonders with the promise of setting sail to new destinations. Thereâs just one little headache almost every cruise passenger faces: what do you do with your luggage if youâve got hours to kill before or after your cruise?
Cruise schedules rarely line up neatly with hotel or flight times, so itâs worth finding a solution to store your bags. This guide will show you the best luggage storage options at and around Barcelonaâs cruise port.
The Port of Barcelona is one of the largest and busiest cruise ports in the world, handling more than 3 million passengers a year. It has 7 international passenger cruise terminals across two main areas:
While the port is only a short distance from the city center, walking from the farthest terminals to central Barcelona can take over 40 minutes. To save time, most passengers opt for the Cruise Bus shuttle or a taxi. The port itself does not provide left-luggage facilities, but the good news is that Barcelona offers plenty of choices!
If you want the most stress-free experience, LUGGit is the easiest solution. Instead of hunting for a locker, a LUGGit Keeper meets you right at your cruise terminal, collects your bags, and delivers them later at the location of your choice.
Prices start at 19.98âŹ, and the more bags you store, the cheaper the rate per bag is. This makes it an especially good deal if youâre traveling as a group.

For travelers who prefer a do-it-yourself approach, Barcelona has several luggage locker facilities. Itâs worth noting, however, that there are no lockers inside the cruise port itself. Youâll first need to carry your bags out of the terminal area and make your way to one of the storage shops.
Locker Barcelona, close to Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla, is a popular choice for visitors spending time in the city center. Opening hours are usually 9 AM to 9 PM, with longer hours in summer, and prices start at around 4.50⏠for a small bag.
Closer to the port, Locker Town and Urban Lockers are both located in Plaza de España, about 15 minutes away, and operate 24/7. Rates here start at 7.90⏠for a cabin-sized suitcase.
These facilities generally allow you to reserve space online and often provide discounts for advance bookings. Most are equipped with CCTV surveillance and other security measures, which adds an extra level of comfort.
Another option is using local businesses like cafĂ©s, hotels, or shops that partner with platforms such as Bounce, Radical Storage, or Stasher. Booking is quick through their apps or websites, and youâll find hundreds of locations across Barcelona, including near Port Vell, the Gothic Quarter, the Columbus Monument, and major train stations.
Prices are usually between 4.50⏠and 6⏠per bag per day, making this a budget-friendly choice. Bounce stands out by offering up to 10 000⏠in insurance and free cancellations. Keep in mind, though, that these arenât dedicated storage facilities (bags may simply be kept behind a counter), so security levels vary. Always check recent reviews before booking.
For cruise passengers, this option works if you donât mind a short trip from the terminal, but for true door-to-door convenience, LUGGit remains the easiest and most reliable choice.
This might be an obvious choice, but if youâve booked a hotel in Barcelona, theyâll probably let you leave your luggage before check-in or after check-out. This is usually free for guests, though smaller or budget hotels sometimes charge a small fee.
Itâs the most straightforward option if youâre staying overnight, but it doesnât help much if youâre in the city just for a few hours between cruise and flight. If youâre staying at an Airbnb, itâs also likely that they wonât have a place to store your luggage.
No, the port does not provide luggage lockers. If you want your luggage stored directly from your terminal, you can have it picked up and stored by LUGGit.
Locker facilities cost around 4.50-7⏠for a small cabin bag, and local business storage averages 4.50â6⏠per bag.
Yes, you can walk, but from the far terminals it can take over 40 minutes. Most travelers take the shuttle bus or a taxi.
Yes, all major services (including LUGGit, lockers, and platforms like Bounce) allow advance reservations online.
It depends. Some will do it (usually for a fee), so itâs best to ask at the reception.
Barcelona has plenty of solutions for storing your luggage, whether you choose hotel storage, lockers, local shops, or LUGGitâs pick-up and delivery service. By choosing the option that best fits your schedule, budget, and travel plans, you can make the most of your time in the city without your bags donât need to slow you down.
