The Majestic Princess cruise ship arrived at Circular Quay, having sailed from New Zealand.
About 4,600 passengers and crew were aboard the ship when it docked - meaning around one in five had Covid.
The outbreak is reminiscent of the Ruby Princess cruise ship Covid outbreak of early 2020, where at least 900 people tested positive and 28 died.
Marguerite Fitzgerald, the president of cruise operator Carnival Australia, said a large number of cases started to be detected about halfway through the 12-day voyage.

I thought about telling her there's a good chance she'll be stuck in her stateroom with a cold sandwich on Thanksgiving Day, but I kept my mouth shut. And I will keep my distance from her for a couple weeks after she returns.
