The Japanese government has quarantined the vessel carrying 223 Australians among its 2666 guests and 1045 crew at Yokohama, south of Tokyo.
Japan is one of the more than 20 countries with confirmed cases, with deaths outside of China recorded in Hong Kong and the Philippines.
China has more than 24,000 confirmed cases and 490 people have died.
Australian authorities have reacted to the global health emergency forbidding non-citizens to fly to Australia from China.
China's embassy slammed the government for this decision and asked for compensation for locked out Chinese travellers.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he "respectfully disagrees", claiming "you have to put Australia's national interests first".
