A large cruise liner with COVID-19 cases on board has missed a scheduled stop in Western Australia because of bad weather and is now heading to Fremantle.

The Coral Princess has an undisclosed number of virus cases among passengers and crew, although the operator, Carnival Australia, says most of its 2000 guests are unaffected.

The ship left Broome for Geraldton earlier this week, but bad weather forced it to bypass its scheduled stop there on Thursday and head straight to Fremantle.

Carnival Australia said the change of schedule was on the advice of the Mid West Ports Authority.
