Refurbish in 2025?

It looks like the Paul Gauguin isn’t taking reservations in February and March of 2025. Is this a dry dock period and if so, does anyone have any idea of what is on the list of improvements during the dry dock?

She ends her voyage from Fiji in Bali on 2/8/25, if she is going to drydock in S'pore that will take her a couple of days. Her next voyage is April 1 from S'pore to Darwin. That leaves her idle for some 7 weeks! and she was last refurbished in 2021, so refurbishment is unlikely. Maybe she will be repowered with clean engines to meet the latest Nox requirements or she may have been chartered, who knows. So far nothing comes up with an internet search. Am booked on her fm S'pore to Fiji next year 4/1 and will sure find out!

A dry-dock for hull inspection is required 2 times every 5 years, never more than 3 years apart.  So she is due for a dry-dock.  But that need only take about 2 weeks.  They could be planning more extensive work, or there could be a charter?

It’s a dry dock for what they call a technical upgrade. They didn’t specifically say what’s included.
