Sun Princess - no cruises in April to August 2019??

[Sarah Jane Smith]

Just idol curiosity ...hoping someone can provide an answer...

 

What is the Sun Princess doing between arriving in Hong Kong at the end of March 2019 and leaving at the end of September 2019. Is this a very long dry dock? Or has the ship been hired privately? In the 2018 atlas it shows a trip to NZ in late March which has obviously been cancelled.

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

Cruises from China that can only be booked through authorized Chinese agents.

 

Princess has had at least one ship doing this each summer for the better part of a decade now.

The ship has probably been chartered.
