The Oslo-Hirtshals route was shut down May 6'th. Since then the ship has been on the market but as far as I know only a couple of companies have been interested so far. Color Line has not been satisfied with the offers, but she probably ends up in some Asian or African country.

There may be 100.000 passengers affected during the summer months, but at the time of the decision there were only some 5.000 bookings ;)

Color Line wants to get rid of all the old tonnage, except the two Sandefjord-Strömstad ferries. This helps a lot to finance the Magic, Fantasy and the two Superspeed ships. They want to consentrate on those four in the future.
