Diamond arrives from an eastern states itinerary, featuring stops in Eden, Port Arthur, and an overnight stay in Hobart.
Crown’s Captain Mario Consentino said: “we’re delighted to be in Sydney today with our sister ship Diamond Princess in this beautiful city.
“It’s the first time our ships are together in Sydney and it’s also the first time I’ll see my colleague Diamond Princess’ Captain Bartolomei in almost 10 years.
“We’ll celebrate this special occasion in style with an espresso looking over the Harbour.”
Chief Commercial Officer Terry Thornton added: “our guests love Sydney and it remains an important home port for Princess in the region.
