Sapphire Princess not in schedule?

I just noticed that Sapphire Princess is not in the princess schedule at all after April 2016. I remember reading that it was going to be based out of Beijing but if its not part of the princess schedule is it operating under another cruise company?

It is chartered for groups from China, as it has been for the past two years

during this period.

So is it permanently chartered by another company? Previously it would disappear for the duration of the charters (usually 6 months or so) and then have scheduled cruises again but there are no scheduled Sapphire Princess cruises at any time in the future on the princess schedule.

Not permanently. The charters may or may not be with one company.
