The cruise left Sydney on March 7 and has so far stopped at Noumea in New Caledonia, and Mystery Island in Vanuatu.
However, it was denied entry to Port Vila and Luganville.
"As the ship was on an international itinerary, guests will be required to self-isolate under measures announced by the Australian Government," the spokesperson said.
