 Exhibit 10.8 
 EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is made as of the First day of January, 2011, between PRESTIGE CRUISE SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employer”), and Jason Montague (“Executive”). (The Executive and Employer
shall collectively be referred to as the “Parties.) 
 WHEREAS, Executive and Employer desire to enter into an Employment
Agreement and an included Indemnification Agreement as set forth on Exhibit A and a Confidential Disclosure Agreement as set forth on Exhibit B; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive is desirous of serving Employer on the terms herein provided. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that effective January 1, 2011: 

1.             Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and,
along with each of the Exhibits mentioned, are made a substantive part of this Agreement. 
 2.
            Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement shall extend from the Effective Date until the second anniversary of the Effective Date. The term of the Agreement
shall be subject to earlier termination only as provided in Paragraph 6. The term of this Agreement may be referred to herein as the “Period of Employment.” 
 3.             Position and Duties. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer reporting to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and shall be responsible for Finance and Accounting, and other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to him; and shall have such other powers and duties as may from
time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Employer (the “Board”) and its 







 Chairman. If Employment of Executive is terminated for any reason whatsoever, or following the expiration of
this Period of Employment, Executive agrees to resign all positions and offices of Employer and its subsidiaries. Executive agrees to perform his duties and responsibilities in a diligent, careful and proper manner, to devote all of his business
time and efforts to the Employer’s interests and give his undivided professional loyalty to Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage in charitable and public service activities with appropriate approval and Executive may
devote a reasonable amount of time to serve on boards of other corporations or engage in other activities; not to include consulting activities. Executive may make personal investments in any other business, so long as those investments do not
require his participation in the operation of such other business and so long as such other business does not compete with the business of the Employer. All such outside activities will be subject to the Employer’s policies then in effect for
Executives. 
 4.      Compensation and Related Matters. 

4.1      Base Salary. On the Effective Date, Executive received an annual minimum base salary
(“Base Salary”) equal to Three Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($325,000.00). Thereafter, Executive’s Base Salary shall be evaluated for an upward adjustment annually before each annual compensation determination date established
by Employer during the Period of Employment, but in any event no later than the first quarter of the applicable fiscal year (the “Annual Compensation Determination Date”) in an amount to be fixed by the Compensation Committee of the Board.
The Base Salary, as re-determined after 2011, is referred to herein as the “Adjusted Base Salary.” The Base Salary or, if applicable, the Adjusted Base Salary, shall be payable in substantially equal installments on the regular payroll
dates of the Employer, minus legally required and authorized withholding and deductions. 

  
 2 








 4.2      Incentive Compensation. In addition to Base
Salary or, if applicable, Adjusted Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive, with respect to each fiscal year during the Period of Employment incentive compensation (the “Incentive Compensation”) in an amount determined annually
by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The amount of Incentive Compensation awarded to Executive shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board based on the Employer’s EBIDTA and the job performance
of Executive. All Incentive Compensation earned under this subparagraph shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum, minus legally required and authorized deductions on or after January 1 but before March 31 of the year following the year in
which such Incentive Compensation was earned. “Pro Rata Incentive Compensation” shall be paid to Executive in certain instances of termination of employment as provided in Paragraph 6. Pro Rata Incentive Compensation equals the Incentive
Compensation for the fiscal year of termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through Date of Termination and the denominator is 365. 

If, for the purpose of calculating Incentive Compensation or Pro Rata Incentive Compensation, the Incentive Compensation cannot be
determined by the time required to be paid, Employer shall make a good faith estimate of this amount, resolving all doubts in favor of Executive and, in calculating the Pro Rata Incentive Compensation, such good faith estimate shall be based on an
amount Executive would have earned had he continued employment for the entire fiscal year and had performance through the date of Executive’s termination continued at a consistent rate through the end of the fiscal year. 

4.3      Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable
expenses incurred by him (in accordance with the policies and procedures then 

  
 3 








 
in effect and established by Employer for its senior executive officers) in performing services hereunder during the Period of Employment, provided that Executive properly accounts therefore in
accordance with Employer policy. Executive shall be permitted to travel via business-class service on regularly scheduled commercial aircraft for all international travel and for all domestic flights exceeding four (4) hours in length.

 4.4      Automobile Allowance. Employer shall provide Executive with a company car or
allowance therefore, which car or allowance shall be in the amount, per month, as may be determined by Employer from time to time, which is intended to cover the cost of car lease payments and vehicle insurance. 

4.5      Other Benefits. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in or receive benefits under all of Employer’s Employee Benefit Plans in effect on the date hereof, or under plans or arrangements that provide Executive with at least substantially equivalent benefits to those provided under such
Employee Benefit Plans and those provided to similarly situated Senior Executives. As used herein, “Employee Benefit Plans” include, without limitation, each pension and retirement plan, supplemental pension, retirement and deferred
compensation plan, savings plan, life insurance plan, medical insurance plan, disability plan, and health and accidental plan, any statutorily mandated benefits or leave of absence programs or arrangements to the extent they are established and
maintained by Employer on the date hereof and enhancements thereof hereafter made. To the extent that the scope or nature of benefits described in this section are determined based in whole or in part on the seniority or tenure of an employee’s
service, Executive shall be deemed to have a tenure with Employer equal to the actual time of Executive’s service with Employer. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any of the


  
 4 








 Employee Benefit Plans and any statutorily mandated benefits or leave of absence program or arrangements
that may, in the future, be made available by Employer to its executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions, and overall administration of such plans or arrangements. Notwithstanding any of
the above provisions of this Paragraph 4, Executive shall be provided with Group Medical Insurance Benefits for himself and “eligible dependents” as that term is defined under the Group Medical Plan Documents, the premium cost of which is
fully paid by Employer. 
 4.6      Vacations. Executive shall be entitled to a minimum of
fifteen (15) days of paid vacation in each calendar year with the ability to carry over not more than five (5) days of earned but unused vacation from one year to the next. Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays and personal
days given by Employer to its senior executive officers. To the extent that the scope or nature of benefits described in this section are determined under the policies of Employer, based in whole or in part on the seniority or tenure of an
employee’s service, Executive shall be deemed to have a tenure with Employer equal to the actual time of Executive’s service with Employer. 
 5.      Unauthorized Disclosure and Non-Solicitation. 
 5.1      Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with Employer and any other subsidiaries of the Employer (and, if
applicable, the predecessors of Employer), he has been allowed to become, and will continue to be allowed to become, acquainted with Employer’s business affairs, information, trade secrets, and other matters that are of a proprietary or
confidential nature, such as business opportunities, price and cost information, finance, customer information, business plans, various sales techniques, manuals, letters, notebooks, procedures, reports, products, processes, services, and other

ongoing basis, such Confidential Information as Employer deems necessary or desirable to aid Executive in the performance of his duties. Executive understands and acknowledges that such Confidential Information is confidential, and he agrees not to
disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside Employer, except as he deems reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with performing his duties on behalf of Employer. Executive further agrees that he will not during employment
and/or at any time thereafter use such Confidential Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with Employer. At such time as Executive shall cease to be employed by Employer, he will immediately turn over to Employer all Confidential

any current or future employee of Employer to terminate employment; nor will Executive hire, utilize the service of, and/or participate in the hiring and/or interviewing of any current or former employee of Employer for or by a competing firm; nor
will Executive provide names and/or other information about Employer’s current, former or future

 Executives for the purpose of assisting others to hire such Executives; nor will Executive provide
information to a current, former or future employee of Employer about Executive’s subsequent employer and/or any employer or entity affiliated with Executive’s employer for the purpose of assisting that current, former or future employee
of Employer in finding employment with such entity. For purposes of this Paragraph 5.2, a “current or future employee of Employer “ means anyone who is or has been employed by Employer, its parent, subsidiary or affiliate organizations,
unless such person has ceased working for that entity for a period in excess of six (6) months prior to Executive’s inducement of, utilization of services of, participation in the hiring or interviewing of, or providing information about

representative, agent or otherwise of a business which is engaged in or plans to be engaged in the passenger ship cruise it being understood that nothing contained herein shall prevent Executive from owning Two percent or less of any publicly traded
stock of any company engaged in the passenger cruise ship industry. Executive acknowledges that any breach of this 

  
 7 








 covenant not to compete will cause irreparable harm to Employer. In the event of such breach or threatened
breach by Executive of the provisions of this Subparagraph, Employer shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from rendering services to any person, firm or corporation, association, partnership or other entity, which is a competitor
of Employer. Employer shall further be entitled to specific performance, including immediate issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction enforcing this Subparagraph. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting
Employer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach against Executive, including the recovery of damages and in the event Executive fails to comply with the terms and conditions expressed herein. Executive
acknowledges that Employer is engaged in the passenger ship cruise business throughout the world and that the marketplace for the Employer’s services is worldwide. Executive further covenants and agrees that the geographic area, length of term
and types of activities restrictions (non-competition restrictions) contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company because of the scope of the Employer’s business. In the
event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that one or more of the provisions of this Subparagraph 5.4 is so broad as to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be reduced in scope or length, as the case may be, to
the extent required to make this Subparagraph 5.4 enforceable. If Executive violates the provisions of this Subparagraph 5.4, the periods described therein shall be extended by that number of days which equals the aggregate of all days during which

12.1     Arbitration. In the event of any dispute or controversy in any way arising


  
 19 









 under or in connection with Executive’s employment and under or in connection with this Agreement, the
parties shall first promptly try in good faith to settle such dispute or controversy by mediation under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association before resorting to arbitration. In the event such dispute or controversy remains
unresolved in whole or in part for a period of thirty (30) days after it arises, the parties will settle any remaining dispute or controversy exclusively by arbitration conducted in Miami Dade County, Florida in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. All administration fees and arbitration fees shall be paid solely by Employer.
Notwithstanding the above, Employer shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of Paragraph 5, including Exhibit B, hereof. The prevailing party
shall recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 
 12.2     Disputes Regarding Disability. Should a dispute occur concerning Executive’s mental or physical capacity as described in Subparagraph 6.2, a doctor selected by
Executive and a doctor selected by Employer shall be entitled to examine Executive. If the opinion of Employer’s doctor and Executive’s doctor conflict, Employer’s doctor and Executive’s doctor shall together agree upon a third
doctor, whose opinion shall be binding. 
 12.3     Stock Valuation. Should a dispute occur
concerning a determination of “Then Current Fair Market Value” of any stock owned or acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, then the Executive and Employer’s designated representative shall confer to select an
independent stock valuation expert who shall render a decision as to the then Fair Market Value of the stock which shall be binding on the parties. The fees and costs charged 

  
 20 









 
by such valuation expert shall be paid the Employer. 

13.     Third-Party Agreements and Rights. Executive represents to Employer that upon Executive’s
execution of this Agreement, Executive’s employment with Employer, and the performance of Executive’s proposed duties for Employer, will not violate any obligations Executive may have to any employer prior to Employer, and Executive will
not bring to the premises of Employer any copies of other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment prior to that with Employer. 

14.     Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after Executive’s employment, Executive shall
reasonably cooperate with Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions then in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of Employer that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive
was employed by Employer. Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of
Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after Executive’s employment, Executive also shall cooperate fully with Employer in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such
investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by Employer. 

15.     Binding Effect. This Agreement shall only become effective upon signature by Executive, the favorable
recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board and a ratification vote by a majority of the Board taken at a duly constituted meeting. 
 16.     Code Section 409A Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive will incur a “Separation from Service” when Executive terminates employment
from the 

  
 21 









 
Company and all of its Affiliates, as determined under Code Section 409A, including the application of the following rules: 

 

	 	(a)	Executive will be presumed to have incurred a Separation from Service when the level of bona fide services performed by the Executive for the Company and its Affiliates
permanently decreases to a level equal to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company or its Affiliates during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such
lesser period of service). 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive takes a leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of military leave, sick leave or other bona fide
reason, the Executive’s employment will be deemed to continue for the first six (6) months of the leave of absence, or if longer, for so long as the Executive’s right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract;
provided that if the leave of absence is due to Executive’s medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of six (6) months or more, and such
impairment causes Executive to be unable to perform the duties of his position with the Company or an Affiliate or a substantially similar position of employment, then the leave period may be extended for up to a total of twenty-nine
(29) months. If the period of the leave exceeds the applicable time period set forth above and Executive’s right to reemployment is not provided by either statute or contract, Executive will be considered to have incurred a Separation from
Service on the first day following the applicable time period set forth above. 


  
 22 










	 	(c)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after Executive’s termination of employment from the Company and its Affiliates, Executive becomes or remains a consultant to the
Company or an Affiliate, then the date of Executive’s Separation from Service may be delayed until Executive ceases to provide services in such capacity to the extent required by Code Section 409A.
