Equity Awards


 


Annual Equity Awards for Continuing
Board Members 


 


On the first business day of each calendar
year, each non-employee director then in office will automatically be granted an award of restricted share units of the Company
(an “Annual Restricted Share Unit Award”) determined by dividing (1) the Annual Equity Award grant value set forth
above by (2) the per-share closing price of an Ordinary Share on the first business day of that year (rounded down to the nearest
whole share). Subject to the non-employee director’s continued service, each Annual Restricted Share Unit Award will vest
in one installment on the first business day of the calendar year following the calendar year of the grant.


 


For each new non-employee director appointed
or elected to the Board after the first business day of the calendar year, on the date that the new non-employee director first
becomes a member of the Board, the new non-employee director will automatically be entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Annual
Restricted Share Unit Award (a “Pro-Rata Annual Restricted Share Unit Award”) determined by dividing (1) a pro-rata
portion of the Annual Equity Award grant value set forth above by (2) the per-share closing price of an Ordinary Share on the date
the new non-employee director first became a member of the Board (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The pro-rata portion
of the Annual Equity Award grant value for purposes of a Pro-Rata Annual Restricted Share Unit Award will equal the Annual Equity
Award grant value set forth above multiplied by a fraction (not greater than one), the numerator of which is 12 minus the number
of whole months that as of the particular grant date had elapsed since the first business day of the year, and the denominator
of which is 12. Subject to the non-employee director’s continued service, each Pro-Rata Annual Restricted Share Unit Award
will vest in one installment on the first business day of the calendar year following the year the award was granted.


 


Elective Grants of Equity Awards


 


Non-employee directors may elect, prior
to the start of each applicable calendar year, to convert all or a portion of their Annual Cash Retainer (but not any Annual Chairperson
Retainer, Annual Audit Committee Chairperson Retainer, Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Retainer, Annual Nominating and
Governance Committee Chairperson Retainer, Annual TESS Committee Retainer, Annual Audit Committee Member Retainer or Out-of-Country
Meeting Attendance Fees) payable with respect to the particular calendar year into the right to receive an award of restricted
share units of the Company (an “Elective Restricted Share Unit Award”). The Elective Restricted Share Unit Award shall
automatically be granted on the first business day of each calendar year in an amount determined by dividing (1) the amount of
the Annual Cash Retainer elected to be so converted by (2) the per-share closing price of an Ordinary Share on the first business
day of the year (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Subject to the non-employee director’s continued service, each
Elective Restricted Share Unit Award will vest in one installment on the first business day of the calendar year following the
year the award was granted.


 


In order to elect to receive an Elective
Restricted Share Unit Award, non-employee directors must complete an election form in such form as the Board may prescribe from
time to time (an “Election Form”), and file such completed form with the Company prior to the start of the applicable
calendar year (i.e. if a director wants to convert his or her Annual Cash Retainer payable for the 2020 calendar year, the Election
Form must be filed prior to December 31, 2019). Once an Election Form is validly filed with the Company, it shall automatically
continue in effect for future calendar years unless the non-employee director changes or revokes his or her Election Form prior
to the beginning of any such future calendar years.


 


Provisions Applicable to All Equity
Awards


 


Each award of restricted share units will
be made under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Performance Incentive Plan
(the “2013 Plan”) or any successor equity compensation plan approved by the Company’s stockholders and in effect
at the time of grant, and will be evidenced by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an award agreement in the form approved
by the Board to evidence such type of grant pursuant to this policy.

Expense Reimbursement 


 


All directors will be entitled to reimbursement
from the Company for their reasonable travel (including airfare and ground transportation), lodging and meal expenses incident
to meetings of the Board or committees thereof or in connection with other Board related business.


 


Product Familiarization 


 


It being in the interest of the Company
for non-employee directors of its Board to review and assess the Company’s products, the non-employee directors of the Board
are encouraged to take one cruise with one of the Company’s brands annually. Accordingly, the Company will annually provide
to each non-employee director one cabin for an up to 14 night cruise with the Company brand of their choice. Non-employee directors
and a guest of their choice will be accommodated in a penthouse level (or Haven equivalent) cabin with such accommodation to be
assigned by the Company’s revenue management department. The non-employee director will be responsible for taxes, port fees
and fuel supplements as well as all onboard spending and transportation to and from the ship (other than any transportation that
would otherwise be included in the ticket price of the cruise).


 


If a Board meeting is held on a cruise,
the Company will absorb the cost of the cruise fare for each non-employee director and any guests traveling with such non-employee
director in his or her stateroom. The non-employee director will be responsible for all onboard spending during such cruise.


 


In addition, non-employee directors and
their immediate families are entitled to participate in any Company discount program in effect that is generally available to all
Company employees for any additional cruises they may wish to take.


 


The Chairperson of the Compensation Committee
of the Board may approve certain exceptions to the “Product Familiarization” section of this policy.
