A luggage containment device, roof box, for transporting luggage on a roof of a vehicle comprises: a base portion 12 and a cover portion 14 for covering the base portion, the cover portion being pivotably mounted to the base portion such that the cover portion is configured to pivot between an open and a closed position; wherein a cross section of at least a portion of the luggage containment device when the cover is in the closed position is substantially circular (figure 2). Protrusions 16 may extend below the base portion so as to form a flat base for mounting the roof box (figure 2). The circular cross-section may be substantially constant from a rear of the box to a point beyond a mid-point and thereafter decrease to a point. Alternatively, the circular cross-section may decrease from a mid-point towards both the front and rear (figure 3). In both embodiments detachable fins 20, 32 may be provided so that the roof box resembles a rocket with a flame at the rear.
