Our Board currently consists of ten directors and is divided into three classes. The members of each class serve for staggered three-year terms.

A director appointed by our Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of our Board) will serve for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal.

At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect four directors to our Board as Class III directors. Our Nominating and Governance Committee

recommended, and our Board nominated, Mr. Frank J. Del Rio, Mr. Chad A. Leat, Mr. Steve Martinez and Ms. Pamela Thomas-Graham as our Class III director nominees. If elected, each of the nominees will serve until our 2022 annual general meeting and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal.

If any of the nominees becomes unable or unwilling for good cause to serve if elected, shares represented by validly delivered proxies will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee designated by our Board or our Board may determine to reduce the size of our Board.

Board of Directors

Board Leadership Structure

Chairperson: Russell W. Galbut Number of Board Meetings in 2018 Board and Committee Meeting Attendance Annual General Meeting Attendance	Our Board believes its current leadership structure best serves the objectives of our Board’s oversight of management, our Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of our shareholders, and our overall corporate governance. Our Board and each of its committees are currently led by independent directors, with our President and Chief Executive Officer separately serving as a member of our Board. Our Board believes that participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer as a director, while keeping the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board separate, provides the proper balance between independence and management participation at this time. By having a separate Chairperson of the Board, we maintain an independent perspective on our business affairs, and at the same time, through the President and Chief Executive Officer’s participation as a director, our Board maintains a strong link between management and our Board. We believe this leadership structure promotes clear communication, enhances strategic planning, and improves implementation of corporate strategies. Our current leadership structure is:

	• Frank J. Del Rio	President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
	• Russell W. Galbut*	Chairperson of the Board
	• Chad A. Leat*	Chairperson of the Audit Committee
	• John W. Chidsey*	Chairperson of the Compensation Committee
	• David M. Abrams*	Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee
	• Mary E. Landry*	Chairperson of the TESS Committee
	* Independent Director Our Board periodically reviews the leadership structure of our Board and may make changes in the future.

Board Meeting Attendance

During 2018, there were five meetings of our Board, six meetings of our Audit Committee, three meetings of our Compensation Committee and five meetings of our Nominating and Governance Committee. Our TESS Committee was formed in 2019. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of our Board and of any committees on which he or she served during 2018. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in addition to regularly scheduled Board meetings, during 2018, our independent directors

held four regularly scheduled executive sessions without the presence of Company management. Our Chairperson of the Board presides at such executive sessions.

We do not have a formal policy regarding Board member attendance at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Eight of our directors and director nominees attended the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2018 in person or telephonically.

Board Committees

The standing committees of our Board include the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and TESS Committee. Each committee has adopted a written charter and a copy of each committee charter is posted under “Corporate

Governance” on our website at www.nclhltdinvestor.com. In addition to these committees, our Board may, from time to time, authorize additional Board committees to assist the Board in its responsibilities.

The Nomination Process

Our Nominating and Governance Committee regularly evaluates our Board to ensure that our directors have the broad range of skills, expertise, industry knowledge and diversity of background and experience needed to support our long-term strategy. Prior to each annual general meeting of shareholders, our Nominating and Governance Committee recommends to our Board nominee candidates that it has found to be well-qualified, willing and available to serve. In addition, our Nominating and Governance Committee recommends candidates to serve on our Board at other times during the year, as needed.

As described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to recommend directors who: (1) understand elements relevant to the success of a publicly traded company, (2) understand our business and (3) have a strong educational and professional background. In selecting director nominees, our Nominating and Governance Committee also considers the individual’s independence, character, ability to exercise sound judgment and demonstrated leadership skills. The Board is also committed to seeking out women and minority candidates as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, experiences and skills as part of each Board search the Company undertakes.

20 /

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Nominating and Governance Committee may engage a third-party search firm to assist it in identifying candidates for our Board. For example, in 2018 our Nominating and Governance Committee retained a search firm to identify potential director candidates for appointment to our Board. The search firm subsequently identified Ms. Landry as a director candidate and she was appointed to our Board in June 2018.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee will identify and consider candidates suggested by outside directors, management and/or shareholders and evaluate them in accordance with its established criteria. Director candidates recommended by shareholders will be considered in the same manner as recommendations from other sources. If a shareholder desires to recommend a director candidate for consideration by our Nominating and Governance Committee,

recommendations should be sent in writing to the General Counsel and Assistant Secretary, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., 7665 Corporate Center Drive Miami, Florida 33126, together with appropriate biographical information concerning each proposed director candidate.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee may request additional information concerning the director candidate as it deems reasonably necessary to determine the eligibility and qualification of the director candidate to serve as a member of our Board. Shareholders who are recommending candidates for consideration by our Board in connection with the next annual general meeting of shareholders should submit their written recommendation no later than January 1 of the year of that meeting.

Director Independence

Our Board has affirmatively determined that seven of our ten directors, Mr. David M. Abrams, Mr. John W. Chidsey, Ms. Stella David, Mr. Russell W. Galbut, Ms. Mary E. Landry, Mr. Chad A. Leat and Ms. Pamela Thomas-Graham, are independent under the applicable rules of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Board determined that Mr. Adam M. Aron, Mr. Steve Martinez and Mr. Frank J. Del Rio are not independent. In addition, our Board previously

determined that Mr. Water L. Revell was independent under applicable rules of the NYSE during his service on our Board through our 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders. In considering the independence of each director, our Board reviews information provided by each director and considers whether any director has a material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us).

Board and Committee Evaluations

Each fall, our Nominating and Governance Committee leads our Board and its committees through a formal evaluation process. All members of our Board complete written questionnaires regarding the Board, its committee and general matters of strategy and focus. These questionnaires are designed to elicit information that will ultimately help improve the effectiveness of the Board and each committee. Board members are also encouraged to have one-on-one discussions with either the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Chairperson of the Board regarding

any feedback they may have regarding individual directors. The feedback from these questionnaires is then analyzed and discussed by both the Nominating and Governance Committee and the full Board to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to address any opportunities for improvement. For example, previous evaluations resulted in an increased focus on talent reviews and succession planning and the formation of the TESS Committee.

Board Risk Oversight

Our Board recognizes that effective risk oversight is critical to our long-term success and the fulfillment of its fiduciary duties to our shareholders. While our management team is responsible for the day-to-day management of our risks and implementing appropriate risk management strategies, our Board is responsible for

setting the correct tone at the top, fostering an appropriate culture of risk management, understanding our enumerated top risks and monitoring how management mitigates such risks. Our Board uses its committees to assist in their risk oversight function as described below.

At regular meetings of our Board, committee members report to the full Board regarding matters reported and discussed at committee meetings, including matters relating to risk assessment or risk management. Members of management provide regular reports to our

Board, or its committees, regarding business operations, strategic planning, financial planning, cybersecurity, legal, compliance and regulatory matters, succession planning and governance matters, including any material risk to us relating to such matters. Our President and

22 /

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Secretary regularly attend meetings of our Board and its committees when they are not in executive session, and often report on and or supplement discussions on matters that may not be otherwise addressed.

Our Audit Committee also receives regular reports from our Vice President of Internal Audit, who facilitates our enterprise risk management process on behalf of management and our Audit Committee, to ensure that our major business risks are being assessed and managed appropriately. In addition, our directors are

encouraged to communicate directly with members of management regarding matters of interest, including matters related to risk, at times when meetings are not being held.

Our Board believes that the structure and assigned responsibilities described above provide the appropriate focus, oversight and communication of key risks we face. Our Board also believes that the processes it has established to administer our Board’s risk oversight function would be effective under a variety of leadership frameworks and therefore do not have a material effect on our Board’s leadership structure.

Our Culture

Our People

It is our privilege to work in a community of more than 33,000 passionate team members who deliver exceptional vacation experiences around the globe each day. In order to provide the best possible experiences for our guests, it is crucial that each team member has the opportunity to thrive. This vision begins at the top of our organization, where three members of our Board are female and 60% of our Board members represent diverse backgrounds.

Our Vice President and above leadership team is 30% female, and we encourage the development of new female leaders through our mentorship program and Elevate, our female executive networking group. Our mentorship program encourages team members of all genders and backgrounds to develop leadership skills, cultivate relationships and identify growth opportunities. Our Code of Ethical Business Conduct confirms our commitment to providing equal opportunity to all team members and our intolerance of any form of discrimination or harassment in the work place.

We also offer programs that encourage team members to advance their skills and achieve long-term financial stability such as student loan repayment assistance, educational assistance for team members seeking degrees or professional certifications and a 401(k) matching program.

Our Sustainability

During 2018, we continued to build on our global sustainability program “Sail & Sustain” by joining several of the world’s leading corporations and organizations

in Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas Alliance® to support our shared vision of a world with waterways, beaches and oceans free of plastic waste. Additional information about our Sail and Sustain program can be found in our annual Stewardship Report, which is available on our website www.nclhltd.com, under “Stewardship.”

Our Giving

We support the global communities where we live and work through volunteerism and charitable giving throughout the year. In response to the devastating hurricanes that impacted the Caribbean in fall 2017, we launched the Hope Starts Here campaign, in partnership with relief organization All Hands and Hearts — Smart Response, to help provide immediate relief in Key West and reconstruct schools and critical infrastructure in affected islands in the Caribbean. Hope Starts Here reached its goal of raising $2.5 million, which was made possible by more than $1.25 million in donations, which we matched, from our valued team members, loyal guests, travel partners and business partners. We have a long-standing commitment to Camillus House, which works to end the problem of chronic homelessness in Miami. In addition to corporate donations, throughout the year, team members are encouraged to directly support Camillus house by serving dinners and donating school supplies, meals and holiday gifts. We encourage workplace giving to organizations such as Kids In Distress, which promotes child welfare, the American Cancer Society and Habitat for Humanity by matching a portion of each employee’s contribution.

Succession Planning

Succession planning has become part of our culture. We have a year-round focus on providing team members with opportunities to develop their leadership skills and add to our bench of talent through various training initiatives. Our Nominating and Governance Committee, President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Talent Officer engage in a formal process to identify, evaluate, and select potential successors for our President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management. This review includes a discussion about

development plans for senior leaders to help prepare them for future succession and contingency plans in the event our President and Chief Executive Officer is unable to serve for any reason, including death or disability. Members of management are also regularly invited to make presentations at Board and committee meetings and meet with directors in informal settings to allow our directors to form a more complete understanding of our executives’ skills and character. This process culminates in an annual review of potential successors and future leadership with the entire Board.

Hedging, Pledging and Short Sale Prohibitions

We have an insider trading policy, which, among other things, prohibits our senior officers and the members of our Board from engaging in any speculative transactions or in transactions that attempt to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities. Additionally, our insider trading policy prohibits senior officers, including our named executive officers, and directors from engaging in short sales of our securities or engaging in transactions involving Company-based derivative securities.

We also have a policy that prohibits senior officers and members of our Board from holding Company securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. Arrangements for pledges of Company securities that were in place prior to the adoption of the policy are excluded from this prohibition.

Code of Ethical Business Conduct

We have a Code of Ethical Business Conduct that applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions, and our directors. These standards are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct. Our Code of Ethical Business Conduct is posted on our website, www.nclhltdinvestor.com, under “Corporate Governance.”

We intend to disclose waivers from, and amendments to, our Code of Ethical Business Conduct that apply to our directors and executive officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website, www.nclhltdinvestor.com, to the extent required by applicable rules of the NYSE and rules and regulations of the SEC.

Corporate Governance Materials

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provide the framework for the governance of our Company and represent our Board’s current views with respect to selected corporate governance issues considered to be of significance to our shareholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines direct our Board’s actions with respect to, among other things, Board composition, director qualifications and

diversity considerations, director independence, Board committees, succession planning and the Board’s annual performance evaluation. A current copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted under “Corporate Governance” on our website at www.nclhltdinvestor.com.

PROPOSAL 2 — ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

We are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, on the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

After considering shareholder feedback from last year’s Say-on-Pay vote, our Compensation Committee and Board made changes to our executive compensation program that we believe strengthen the “pay for performance” philosophy of our compensation program.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” which discusses in detail how our compensation policies and practices implement our compensation philosophy.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our NEOs’ compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. The vote on this resolution, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote, is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the overall compensation of our NEOs. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on our Company, our Board or our Compensation Committee. However, our Compensation Committee, which is

responsible for designing and overseeing our executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, our Board requests your advisory vote on the following resolution at the Annual General Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of our Company approve, on an advisory basis, the overall compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement for this Annual General Meeting.

Our current policy is to provide our shareholders with an opportunity to approve the compensation of our NEOs each year at the annual general meeting of shareholders. It is expected that the next such vote will occur at the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Outreach Regarding Compensation Program

In response to our 2018 Say-on-Pay vote, we initiated engagement with shareholders owning approximately 50% of our ordinary shares and had meetings, led by our Compensation Committee Chairperson, with shareholders owning approximately 32% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of December 31, 2018.

The results of this outreach were shared with the entire Board. Due to the timing of our compensation decisions, some of the resulting changes to our compensation program will be effective in 2019. The key feedback we received from shareholders at these meetings and our responses to the feedback included:

Investor Feedback

WHAT WE HEARD

HOW WE RESPONDED

Compensation for our executives should be heavily weighted towards performance

President and CEO’s 2019 target annual equity award is increased from 60% to 75% performance-based

The performance period for equity awards should be increased

Increased the Adjusted ROIC performance period for 2019 equity awards from one year to two years

Disclosures regarding the compensation program should be improved

Proxy Statement has been revised to better communicate our compensation practices

We should continue providing annual performance-based equity grants instead of front-loaded equity grants

We continued providing annual performance-based equity grants in both 2018 and 2019

Compensation Committee should continue to evaluate metrics for short and long-term incentives

Our Compensation Committee will consider alternate metrics going forward, and is committed to choosing metrics that we believe will drive long-term growth

Elements of our Executive Compensation Program

Base Salaries

Each NEO is party to an employment agreement which provides a fixed base salary, subject to annual review by our Compensation Committee. Decisions regarding adjustments to base salaries are made at the discretion of our Compensation Committee, as all automatic base salary increases have been eliminated. Base salaries are used to attract and retain highly qualified executives. In reviewing base salary levels for our NEOs, our Compensation Committee considers the following

factors: job responsibilities, leadership and experience, value to our Company and the recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to his own base salary). After holding our CEO’s and most other NEO’s base salaries flat in 2016 and 2017, our Compensation Committee increased base salaries in 2018. Our Compensation Committee determined these merit-based increases were warranted due to our continuing strong operational results:

NEO	2017 Base Salary			2018 Base Salary
Frank J. Del Rio		$	1,500,000	$1,800,000(1)
Mark A. Kempa		$	425,000	$700,000(1)
Wendy A. Beck		$	650,000	$700,000
Jason Montague		$	650,000	$700,000
Andrew Stuart		$	650,000	$700,000
T. Robin Lindsay		$	650,000	$700,000

Increased base salary was effective from March 1, 2018. Mr. Kempa’s base salary was increased in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Annual Performance Incentives

Each of our NEOs is eligible for an annual cash performance incentive based on the attainment of performance objectives for the fiscal year. Annual cash performance incentives ensure that a portion of our NEOs’ annual compensation is at risk, based on our performance against pre-established, objective targets. Our Compensation Committee uses annual cash performance incentives to motivate our NEOs to achieve our annual financial objectives and to attract and retain top executives.

Target Annual Cash Performance Incentive Opportunities. Our Compensation Committee annually establishes each NEO’s, other than Mr. Del Rio’s, annual cash performance incentive opportunity by evaluating a variety of factors, including: (1) scope of responsibilities and position, (2) expertise and experience, (3) potential to achieve business objectives, (4) competitive compensation market data, including the bonus opportunities provided by our Peer Group, (5) ability to create shareholder value and (6) recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Del Rio’s annual cash bonus opportunity was negotiated by our Compensation Committee in connection with his employment agreement.

Corporate Performance Measures. Each year, our Compensation Committee establishes the performance objectives for the annual cash performance incentives. The performance objectives are based on financial performance at the consolidated NCLH level as our

Compensation Committee believes this structure most closely aligns the interests of our NEOs and our shareholders.

The actual annual cash performance incentive earned by our NEOs is determined by our Compensation Committee based on the level of achievement of the pre-established corporate performance objectives. After the end of the year, our Compensation Committee reviews our actual performance against the target levels. Our Compensation Committee exercises its judgment whether to reflect or exclude the impact of extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events, or unforeseen events in determining the extent to which the performance measures are met.

For 2018, our Compensation Committee selected adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) as the performance measure for purposes of the annual cash performance incentives. Our Compensation Committee believes that Adjusted EPS is an important measure to incentivize our NEOs to achieve our short-term business objectives as it is a key factor in driving shareholder value. In setting the target level for Adjusted EPS for 2018, our Compensation Committee considered several factors, including a careful review of the annual budget and the desire to ensure continued improved performance on a year-over-year basis. A reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in Appendix A. At the Compensation Committee’s discretion, certain adjustments for fuel rate impacts, foreign exchange rate impacts, and one-time items may be made to the Adjusted EPS target.

Ms. Beck’s actual annual cash performance incentive was paid according to her transition agreement.

For 2018, our Compensation Committee established an Adjusted EPS target level of $4.55, which was 19.7% higher than our target for 2017, and which required a 14.9% increase in Adjusted EPS performance from the prior year. Our actual 2018 Adjusted EPS of $4.92 exceeded our maximum Adjusted EPS objectives. Based

on these results, which represented a 24.2% increase in Adjusted EPS performance over prior year, our Compensation Committee approved maximum level annual cash performance incentives for our NEOs (other than Ms. Beck).

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

The following table summarizes the equity awards our Compensation Committee granted in 2018 and how they help accomplish our compensation objectives:

Components of Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation	What It Is	Why We Use It	2018 Weighting
PSUs (performance share units)	Opportunity to receive a specified number of shares based on achievement of performance objectives determined by our Compensation Committee. 2018 PSU awards include a one-year service requirement in addition to performance objectives.	Focuses our NEOs on the achievement of key financial operating objectives over a multi-year period. Adjusted EPS growth and Adjusted ROIC targets align NEO’s interests with shareholders. Serves as a retention incentive.	CEO: 60% of total target equity award Other NEOs: 33.3% of total target equity award
RSUs (restricted share units)	Right to receive a specified number of shares at the time the award vests. Value fluctuates with the price of our ordinary shares. Vests in annual installments over three years.	Aligns our NEOs’ interests with those of our shareholders. Serves as a retention incentive.	CEO: 40% of total target equity award Other NEOs: 66.7% of total target equity award

In determining the value granted to each NEO, our Compensation Committee considers each NEO’s position, their expected contribution toward achieving our long-term objectives, a review of Peer Group compensation levels and recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer (other than with

respect to his own compensation). Our Compensation Committee generally makes equity awards to our NEOs and other members of management once a year, but awards may be granted outside this annual grant cycle in connection with events such as hiring, promotion or extraordinary performance.

Named Executive Officer Awards

Application of Accounting Principles. Due to the application of accounting principles for share-based awards, our “2018 Summary Compensation Table” includes values for PSU awards made to our NEOs in both 2018 and 2017. In order for an award to be granted under FASB ASC Topic 718, a required condition is that there is a mutual understanding of the terms and condition of the awards. Under the terms of the awards, our Compensation Committee has the discretion to make certain adjustments to the performance calculation after the award date. As such, a mutual understanding was not attained when the 2017 PSU awards were issued. In 2018, a determination was made that it was not probable that our Compensation Committee would exercise this right. Therefore, in early 2018, it was determined that a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the PSU awards was ascertained and thus, the grant date was established for

performance-based awards granted in prior years. Going forward, we expect that PSUs awarded to our NEOs will be considered granted for accounting purposes when they are awarded, and that was the case for the awards made to our NEOs in 2018. As a result, the reported value of our NEO’s equity awards for 2018 is not representative of a single year’s award, even though our NEOs have received consistent annual awards in both 2017 and 2018. For example, in 2017, our President and CEO received a target award of 79,073 PSUs and in 2018, our President and CEO received a target award of 79,435 PSUs. Both the 2017 and 2018 PSU awards made to our President and CEO had target values of $4.5 million on the dates our Compensation Committee made the awards, which were August 1, 2017 and March 1, 2018, respectively. However, when the grant date was established for the 2017 PSU award on February 27, 2018, the fair value of the 2017 PSU award

34 /

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

was based on the price of our ordinary shares on that date and the probability of us achieving the performance metrics, which had increased since the award was originally made, resulting in a higher fair value of

$7.7 million dollars. The effect of this change in accounting estimate for our President and CEO is illustrated in the chart below:

President and Chief Executive Officer. In order to provide Mr. Del Rio with competitive, ongoing, long-term incentives that drive strong financial performance, and retain his services through 2020, the amendment to Mr. Del Rio’s employment agreement in August 2017 provided Mr. Del Rio with an annual target award of RSUs and PSUs worth $7.5 million as of the date of award. Such annual award is contractually required to be at least 60% performance-based. By structuring the employment agreement this way, our Compensation Committee preserved the flexibility to structure a greater percentage of Mr. Del Rio’s annual equity award as performance-based, while requiring that a minimum of 60% of Mr. Del Rio’s annual equity award will be performance-based. Our Compensation Committee also

preserved the flexibility to establish the applicable performance metrics and targets each year, thereby providing our Compensation Committee with discretion to choose a performance-based award structure each year that will best incentivize growth in long-term shareholder value.

In 2018, Mr. Del Rio was awarded a target of 79,435 PSUs. Half of the target PSUs can be earned based on average Adjusted EPS growth for 2018 and 2019 and the other half can be earned based on Adjusted ROIC for 2019. Each half of the target PSUs can be paid out 0% to 200% based on stretch targets. Shown in the tables below are the performance expectations for each metric.

In order to reinforce the long-term nature of the PSU award, in addition to the performance requirements above, the PSUs are also subject to a time-based vesting requirement through March 1, 2021. Definitions of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted ROIC can be found in Appendix A. At our Compensation Committee’s discretion, certain adjustments for fuel rate impacts, foreign exchange rate impacts, acquisitions, newly ordered vessels and other extraordinary items may be made to the targets.

As part of his 2018 annual equity award, Mr. Del Rio was also awarded 52,956 RSUs that are subject to time-based vesting requirements and will become vested ratably on each of March 1, 2019, 2020 and 2021, in each case subject to Mr. Del Rio’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Following numerous shareholder engagement discussions regarding last year’s disappointing Say-on-Pay results, our Compensation Committee decided to make some changes to the structure of Mr. Del Rio’s equity award for 2019, including

increasing the percentage of the target value of his equity award that is performance-based to 75% and increasing the performance period for the PSUs subject to the Adjusted ROIC metric from one year to two years, as illustrated below:

[MISSING IMAGE: tv515149_chrt-equity.jpg]

Other NEOs. The PSUs awarded to our other NEOs in 2018 have the same structure and performance goals as Mr. Del Rio’s PSUs described above. Our Compensation Committee, after consultations with FW Cook, determined that the annual equity awards made to our other NEOs should also consist of a combination of

PSUs that may be earned based on our Adjusted ROIC performance in 2019, average Adjusted EPS growth for 2018 and 2019 and continued service through March 1, 2021 and time-based RSUs that vest in three equal, annual installments. For 2018, 33.3% of each NEO’s total annual equity award consisted of PSUs.

Benefits and Perquisites

We provide our NEOs with retirement benefits under our 401(k) Plan, participation in our medical, dental and insurance programs and vacation and other holiday pay, all in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs in effect and substantially on the same terms as those generally offered to our other employees (although vacation benefits may differ).

In addition, our NEOs receive a cash automobile allowance, a cruise benefit for Company cruises, including

certain travel for immediate family, as well as coverage under an executive medical plan which provides coverage of certain extra medical, dental and vision expenses. We believe that the level and mix of perquisites we provide to our NEOs is consistent with market compensation practices.

Mr. Del Rio is also entitled to certain additional perquisites pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement originally entered into with Prestige.

Severance Arrangements and Change in Control Benefits

Each of our NEOs is or was employed pursuant to an employment agreement providing for severance payments and benefits upon an involuntary termination of the NEO’s employment by us without “cause” or by him or her for “good reason.” The severance payments and benefits in each employment agreement were negotiated in connection with the execution of each employment agreement. In each case, our Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to provide the executive officer with severance payments and benefits under the circumstances in light

of each of their respective positions with us, general competitive practices and as part of each of their overall compensation packages.

When negotiating each executive officer’s severance payments and benefits, our Compensation Committee took into consideration an analysis of the severance payments and benefits provided to similarly situated executives at our Peer Group companies. The severance payments and benefits payable to each of our NEOs (including Mr. Del Rio) upon a qualifying termination of employment generally include a cash payment based on

2019 Proxy Statement / 37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

a multiple of his or her base salary (and annual incentive in Mr. Del Rio’s case), a pro-rata portion of any annual cash incentive actually earned for the year of termination of employment, continuation or payment in respect of certain benefits and, in certain cases only, accelerated or continued vesting of outstanding equity awards. We do not believe that our NEOs should be entitled to any cash severance payments or benefits merely because of a change in control of our Company. Accordingly, none of our NEOs are entitled to any such payments or benefits upon the occurrence of a change in control of our Company unless there is an actual termination (other than for “cause”) or constructive termination of employment for “good reason” following the change in control (a “double-trigger” arrangement). Similarly, none of our NEOs are entitled to receive any automatic “single trigger” equity vesting upon the occurrence of a change in control of our Company, and severance protections for equity awards also require an actual termination (other than for “cause”) or constructive termination of employment for “good reason” following the change in control.

No NEO is entitled to receive a “gross-up” or similar payment for any potential change in control excise taxes,

and, depending on what results in the best after-tax benefit for the executive, benefits may be “cut back” instead in such circumstances.

The material terms of these payments and benefits, are described in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below. In connection with Ms. Beck’s departure from our Company in 2018, she entered into a transition agreement, which provided Ms. Beck certain additional benefits also described in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Peer Group

Our Compensation Committee believes that it is important to be informed about the pay practices and pay levels of comparable public companies with which we compete for top talent (our “Peer Group”).

After considering the selection process outlined below and recommendations of FW Cook, our Compensation Committee determined not to make any changes from our peer group in 2017. Our Peer Group included the following companies:

• Alaska Air Group, Inc.	• Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.	• Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
• Brinker International, Inc.	• Hyatt Hotels Corporation	• Spirit Airlines, Inc.
• Caesars Entertainment Corporation	• JetBlue Airways Corporation	• Wyndham Destinations, Inc.
• Carnival Corporation	• Las Vegas Sands Corp.	• Wynn Resorts, Limited
• Darden Restaurants, Inc.	• MGM Resorts International	• YUM! Brands, Inc.
• Expedia Group, Inc.	• Penn National Gaming, Inc.

We used the following methodology to select our Peer Group. Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. were selected because we believe these cruise lines are the two public companies most similar to our Company and with whom we most directly compete for talent. We then considered a range of publicly traded companies in the following industries which reflect elements of our business or have similar business characteristics such as:

•

hotels, resorts and cruise lines,

•

airlines,

•

casinos and gaming,

•

restaurants and

•

internet and direct marketing retail.

We evaluated the companies in these categories by focusing on companies with market capitalizations ranging from approximately 0.3x to 3.0x our market capitalization in October 2018 and with revenues ranging from approximately 0.3x to 3.0x our trailing annual revenue measured as of September 2018.

Objectives and Philosophy of our Executive Compensation Program


	Attract and retain top talent in a competitive market			We want to be an employer of choice for individuals with the specific skill sets and experience required for the cruise industry.
	Motivate employees with clear, NCLH-level goals			We believe that clear, NCLH-level goals motivate management to work together as a team towards shared objectives.
	Compensation opportunities align executives with shareholders			We align management with shareholders by choosing NCLH incentive compensation performance metrics that we believe drive long-term value for our shareholders.

Role of Shareholder Say-on-Pay Votes

Each year, we provide our shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs (also known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote). At our annual general meeting in June 2018, approximately 68.4% of the votes cast were in favor of the 2017 compensation of our NEOs. Our Compensation Committee was disappointed in our Say-on-Pay results and as a result, conducted the shareholder engagement effort outlined on page 15. Since our compensation decisions for 2018 were already made in advance of the 2018 annual Say-on-Pay vote, the changes we made in response to the 2018 vote and our shareholder outreach regarding the 2018 vote began in 2019. These actions in response to shareholder feedback are outlined on page 31.

When making future compensation decisions for our NEOs, our Compensation Committee will continue to consider the opinions that our shareholders express through the results of these Say-on-Pay votes and through direct engagement with our shareholders.

Role of Compensation Consultant

Pursuant to its charter, our Compensation Committee has the authority to engage its own advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities.

Since May 2017, our Compensation Committee has retained FW Cook to provide guidance on executive and non-employee director compensation matters.

Based on a consideration of the factors set forth in the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE, our Compensation Committee determined that FW Cook satisfied the independence criteria under the rules and listing standards and that their relationship with and the work performed by FW Cook, on behalf of our Compensation Committee, did not raise any conflict of interest. Other than its work on behalf of our Compensation Committee, FW Cook has not performed any other services for us.

Share Ownership Policy

To reinforce our Board’s philosophy that meaningful executive ownership in our Company provides greater alignment between management and our shareholders, our Board adopted a share ownership policy in 2017. The share ownership policy, which applies to all of our NEOs and certain executive officers, is as follows:

	Position			Value of Share Ownership*
	Chief Executive Officer			5 times annual base salary
	Brand/Division Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents			3 times annual base salary
	Senior Vice Presidents			1 times annual base salary

Values are determined annually based on the average daily closing price of our ordinary shares for the previous calendar year.

All of our NEOs currently exceed the required share ownership amounts. Executive officers have five years from the date they first become subject to the share ownership policy to meet the requirements and are required to retain 50% of the net after-tax shares received in respect of equity awards until they are in compliance. Unexercised stock options and PSUs do not count towards the share ownership policy amounts unless, in the case of PSUs, the performance criteria have been met.

Clawback Policy

Under our clawback policy, our Board or Compensation Committee may, if permitted by law, require the reimbursement or cancellation of all or a portion of any equity awards or cash incentive payments to any current or former employee, including our NEOs, who received such incentive awards or payments if: (1) such employee received a payment of incentive compensation that was predicated upon the achievement of specified financial results that were the subject of a subsequent accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement, or (2) such employee engaged in misconduct including certain violations of our Code of Ethical Business Conduct or

For 2018, the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column reflect the grant-date fair value under FASB ASC Topic 718 of the RSUs and PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2018 (and for Ms. Beck, includes the incremental fair value of RSUs and PSUs that received accelerated vesting pursuant to her transition agreement, computed as of the modification date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718). The fair value of the time-based RSUs is equal to the closing market price of our shares on the date of grant. The PSU awards vest between 0% and 200% based on performance conditions (other than the PSUs originally awarded to our NEOs other than our CEO on March 1, 2017, which vest between 0% and 100% based on performance conditions). The fair value of PSUs is reported based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions at the time of grant and the closing market price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. PSUs were valued as follows: February 27, 2018 grants originally awarded on March 1, 2017 or August 1, 2017 were valued at maximum and March 1, 2018 grants were valued at target. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, a grant date was not established for the awards made on March 1, 2017 or August 1, 2017 on the award date, but was established on February 27, 2018 due to the application of accounting principles. The value of the annual PSU awards granted on March 1, 2018 assuming maximum achievement of 200% would have been as follows: Mr. Del Rio — $9,019,050; Mr. Kempa — $501,052; Mr. Montague, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Lindsay — $1,336,139. All RSUs and PSUs reported in this table were awarded under our Amended and Restated 2013 Performance Incentive Plan (our “Plan”). In addition, on August 4, 2015, Mr. Del Rio was awarded a separate award of PSUs. Like the 2017 awards of PSUs, a grant date was not established for the 2015 award of PSUs to Mr. Del Rio on the August 4, 2015 award date, but was instead established on February 27, 2018 due to the application of accounting principles. The fair value of the 2015 PSU award based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions at the time of the February 27, 2018 grant date was zero ($0) because the threshold performance level applicable to these PSUs was not expected to be achieved. The value of the 2015 PSU award assuming the maximum performance level was achieved would have been $2,813,500.

For 2018, represents previously granted options that received accelerated vesting pursuant to Ms. Beck’s transition agreement. The amount reported represents the incremental fair value, computed as of the modification date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. On August 4, 2015, Mr. Del Rio was awarded a performance-based option award in connection with the 2015 PSU award described above. Like the 2015 award of PSUs to Mr. Del Rio, a grant date was not established for the 2015 option award to Mr. Del Rio on the August 4, 2015 award date, but was instead established on February 27, 2018 due to the

application of accounting principles. The fair value of the 2015 option award based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions at the time of the February 27, 2018 grant date was zero ($0) because the threshold performance level applicable to these options was not expected to be achieved. The value of the 2015 option award assuming the maximum performance level was achieved would have been $3,166,171.

The fair value of each performance-based option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the time-based RSUs is equal to the closing market price of our shares on the date of grant. The fair value of PSUs is reported based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions at the time of grant and the closing market price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. PSUs were valued as follows: February 27, 2018 grants originally awarded on August 4, 2015 were valued below threshold and have zero value based on the probable performance outcome, February 27, 2018 grants originally awarded on March 1, 2017 or August 1, 2017 were valued at maximum and March 1, 2018 grants were valued at target. All RSUs and PSUs reported in this table were awarded under our Plan.

If Mr. Del Rio’s employment terminates during the employment term either by us without “cause” or by him for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the amended employment agreement) or his employment terminates on the expiration of his employment term, he will also be entitled to receive:

•

continuation of medical and dental coverage for Mr. Del Rio and his eligible dependents on the same terms as actively employed senior executives for two years after the severance date; and

•

a pro-rata portion of his annual cash performance

incentive for the year in which the severance date occurs, with the pro-rata portion determined based on performance through the severance date.

In the event that Mr. Del Rio’s employment is terminated either by us without “cause” or by him for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the amended employment agreement), he will also be entitled to receive accelerated vesting for all unvested options, RSUs and PSUs from his award in 2015 in full. In the event that Mr. Del Rio’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability, he is also entitled to pro-rata vesting of the next unvested installment of his time-based options and RSUs from his 2015 award.

Mr. Del Rio’s right to receive the severance payments and benefits described above is subject to him executing a release of claims in favor of our Company.

Mr. Del Rio’s employment agreement provides that if any of the foregoing severance payments or benefits would be a parachute payment subject to any excise taxes pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, his payments and benefits will be reduced and “cut back” to the extent that such reduction results in a better net after tax result to him.

Severance Benefits — Other Terminations. In the event that Mr. Del Rio’s employment is terminated by us for “cause” or by him other than for “good reason,” he will only be entitled to receive his accrued obligations.

Restrictive Covenants.

In addition, Mr. Del Rio has agreed that for a period of one year (two years in the case of a resignation without “good reason”) after his employment terminates he will not compete with certain restricted competitors of our Company, and for a period of one year after the last date compensation is paid to him by us, he will not solicit the employees of our Company or our affiliates.

Each of Mr. Kempa’s, Mr. Montague’s, Mr. Stuart’s and Mr. Lindsay’s right to receive the severance payments and benefits described above is subject to him executing a release of claims in favor of our Company.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. John W. Chidsey, Russell W. Galbut and Chad A. Leat served on our Compensation Committee during 2018. None of the members of our Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of our Company during the last fiscal year or was formerly an officer of our Company. During the last fiscal year, none of our executive officers served as: (1) a member of the compensation committee (or other committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board

of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee; (2) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee, or (3) a member of the compensation committee (or other committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

Under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to provide the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Del Rio, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to the annual total compensation of the median employee of the Company other than our President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Pay Ratio Disclosure”).

To provide context for this disclosure, it is important to understand the unique circumstances of our employee population. Our shipboard employees are an essential part of our operations and comprise over 90% of our workforce, while shoreside employees make up the remainder. Due to maritime requirements and the practical implications of employment on ships with worldwide operations, our shipboard employees receive certain accommodations that are not typically provided to shoreside employees including housing and meals while on the ship and medical care for any injuries or illnesses that occur while in the service of the ship. These accommodations are free of cost to each shipboard employee. Additionally, because our shipboard employees are away from home for extended periods of time while on the ship, they do not work for the entire year. For example, a shipboard employee will typically work between six to ten months out of the year. Pursuant to the rules governing our Pay Ratio Disclosure, we have not annualized payment for our shipboard employees. Our shipboard employees also generally reside outside of the U.S., where the cost of living may be significantly lower than in the U.S.

We believe that there have been no changes to our employee population or compensation arrangements since last year that would result in a significant change to the Pay Ratio Disclosure. However, in 2018, the median

employee that was identified on December 31, 2017 received a promotion. Therefore, as permitted by Regulation S-K, we are substituting another employee, with substantially similar compensation and working in the same position and on the same ship as the median employee that was identified on December 31, 2017, for December 31, 2018.

The median employee was a full-time employee located on one of our ships with an annual total compensation of $20,101 for 2018, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, which includes fixed cash pay, overtime pay, gratuities, and shipboard pension. Mr. Del Rio’s annual total compensation for 2018 was $22,593,061. Based on this information, for 2018, the ratio of the compensation of Mr. Del Rio to the annual total compensation of the median employee was estimated to be 1,124 to 1. As discussed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, Mr. Del Rio’s annual total compensation for 2018 includes his PSU awards for both 2017 and 2018 due to the application of accounting principles. Without the effect of this application of accounting principles, which requires us to include performance-based equity awards made in more than one year, Mr. Del Rio’s annual total compensation for 2018 would have been $14,873,324 and the ratio of Mr. Del Rio’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of the median employee would be estimated to be 740 to 1.

The Pay Ratio Disclosure presented above is a reasonable estimate. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions, the Pay Ratio Disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

PROPOSAL 3 — AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF BYE-LAWS

Currently, our bye-laws contain a number of obsolete provisions related to our former listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the ownership of our ordinary shares by our Former Sponsors and a related Shareholders’ Agreement. In December 2017, we transferred our listing from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the NYSE. In December 2018, our Former Sponsors sold all remaining ordinary shares of our Company, and the related Shareholders’ Agreement was terminated. As a result of these developments, a number of provisions in our bye-laws are no longer applicable or relevant. Our Board has approved, and is asking the shareholders of our Company to approve, an amendment and restatement of our bye-laws to remove these obsolete provisions. Our Board believes the proposed amendment and restatement of our bye-laws is in the best interests of our shareholders.

This summary of the proposed amendment and restatement of our bye-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed Amended and Restated Bye-laws, which is attached as Appendix B. Additions to the text of our Company’s bye-laws contained in Appendix B are indicated by

underlining, and deletions of the text are indicated by strike-outs.

In accordance with our bye-laws, the shareholders of our Company are required to approve the Amended and Restated Bye-laws. Accordingly, our Board requests your vote on the following resolution at the Annual General Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of our Company approve the amendment and restatement of our Company’s bye-laws set forth in Appendix B to the Proxy Statement in order to remove obsolete provisions in our Company’s bye-laws.

Our Board has approved the Amended and Restated Bye-laws in Appendix B, subject to and conditioned upon shareholder approval of the proposed amendments at our Annual General Meeting. If approved, the Amended and Restated Bye-laws will become effective immediately following our Annual General Meeting. If the proposed amendments are not approved, our bye-laws will remain as currently in effect and the obsolete provisions will remain in place.

PROPOSAL 4 — RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019. As required by our bye-laws and applicable law, the appointment of PwC and the fixing of PwC’s remuneration must be approved by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment of PwC and our Audit Committee’s determination of PwC’s remuneration, our Audit Committee will consider the appointment of another independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, even if shareholders ratify our Audit Committee’s selection, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may still appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm if it believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and its shareholders.

A representative of PwC is expected to attend the Annual General Meeting. The representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and is expected to be available to answer appropriate questions.

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered by PwC for our Company and NCL Corporation Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were:

The audit-related fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were related to accounting consultations and the issuance of comfort letters.

Tax fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were related to tax return preparation and other tax services.

All other fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included fees related to the PwC annual on-line subscription research tool.

Pursuant to the terms of its charter, our Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Such pre-approval can be given as part of our Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual basis. Our Audit Committee is authorized to delegate the pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to one or more of its members, provided that any decisions to pre-approve any audit or non-audit services pursuant to this authority must be presented to our full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our Audit Committee pre-approved all of the non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2018 and 2017.

Our Audit Committee has considered and determined that the services provided by PwC are compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities for our financial reporting process, audit process and internal controls as more fully described in the written charter of the Audit Committee. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report thereon.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 with management and with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of our financial statements. The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence and considered whether the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are compatible with maintaining its independence.

Based on the review and discussions with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to its charter, our Audit Committee is responsible for the review and approval of all related party transactions; however, our Audit Committee does not have a written policy regarding the approval of related party transactions. As part of its review and approval of a related party transaction, our Audit Committee considers:

•

the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction;

•

the material terms of the transaction, including the amount involved and type of transaction;

•

the importance of the transaction to the related party and to us;

•

whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest; and

•

any other matters our Audit Committee deems appropriate.

Relationships and Transactions

We and our Former Sponsors were party to a Shareholders’ Agreement. The Shareholders’ Agreement provided certain shareholders party thereto certain rights with respect to the affairs of the Company, including, subject to certain limitations, the right to influence the voting of the ordinary shares of our Company held by other shareholders party thereto, the right to participate on a pro rata basis in any issuance of new ordinary shares of our Company and certain registration rights with respect to the ordinary shares of our Company, including the right to make written requests in unlimited numbers to us to register and thereby transfer all or a portion of their ordinary shares of our Company through registered secondary share offerings. Apollo and Genting HK exercised these rights in March 2018 and December 2018. Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, we paid certain registration expenses in such offerings. On December 3, 2018, we entered into a termination agreement with Apollo and Genting HK that terminated the Shareholders’ Agreement and all of the rights, obligations and provisions of the parties thereto, other than certain expense and indemnity provisions, which survive the Shareholders’ Agreement indefinitely.

In December 2018, as part of a public equity offering of our ordinary shares owned by Apollo and Genting HK, we repurchased 1,683,168 of our ordinary shares sold in the offering for approximately $85.0 million pursuant to our share repurchase program.

In March 2018, as part of a public equity offering of our ordinary shares owned by Apollo and Genting HK, we repurchased 4,722,312 of our ordinary shares sold in the offering for approximately $263.5 million pursuant to our then existing share repurchase program.

From January 1, 2018 through December 3, 2018 (the date Apollo ceased to be a related party), we purchased equipment from PlayAGS, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo, worth approximately $1.2 million.

In July 2009, we established a marketing alliance with Caesars Entertainment Corporation which incorporates cross company marketing, purchasing and loyalty programs. Caesars Entertainment Corporation was formerly owned by affiliates of Apollo until March 2019. From the beginning of 2018 through December 3, 2018, we paid approximately $4.1 million to Caesars Entertainment Corporation.

We have a marketing agreement with ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. which is owned by affiliates of Apollo. From January 1, 2018 through December 3, 2018, we paid approximately $0.4 million to ClubCorp Holdings, Inc. for advertising services.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND VOTING

Who may vote?

Each ordinary share outstanding as of the close of business on April 1, 2019 (the “record date”) is entitled to one vote at our Annual General Meeting. At the close of business on April 1, 2019, 215,386,773 of our ordinary shares were outstanding and entitled to vote. The ordinary shares are our only outstanding class of equity securities that are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Our bye-laws provide that no one person or group of related persons, may own, or be deemed to own, more than 4.9% of our ordinary shares, whether measured by vote, value or number, unless such ownership is approved by our Board (the “4.9% limit”). Any outstanding shares held in excess of the 4.9% limit will be transferred to and held in a trust. The trustee will be entitled to vote the excess shares on behalf of the

beneficiary. See “Item 1 — Business — Taxation — U.S. Income Taxation — Exemption of International Shipping Income under Section 883 of the Code” in our 2018 Annual Report for further information.

At the Annual General Meeting, you may vote all of the ordinary shares owned by you as of the close of business on the record date. These ordinary shares include ordinary shares that are (1) held of record directly in your name and (2) held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank, or other nominee. There are some distinctions between ordinary shares held of record and ordinary shares owned beneficially as described herein.

What do I do if I am a shareholder of record?

If your ordinary shares are registered directly in your name with our Company or our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those ordinary shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by us. If you previously requested to

receive printed proxy materials, we have sent a proxy card for you to use. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting. See “How do I vote?” below.

What do I do if I am a beneficial owner?

If your ordinary shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of ordinary shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you previously requested to receive printed proxy materials,

your broker, bank or other nominee has sent a voting instruction form that you may use. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account, and you are also invited to attend the Annual General Meeting. See “How do I vote?” below.

What are the requirements to attend the Annual General Meeting?

You are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting if you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the record date, or you hold a valid legal proxy for the Annual General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you must present a government-issued photo identification, such as a valid driver’s license, and the name on your photo identification will be verified against the list of shareholders as of the record date for admission to the Annual General Meeting. If you hold your ordinary shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to provide proof of beneficial ownership by bringing either a copy of the Notice

of Internet Availability or voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, a copy of your brokerage statement showing your ordinary share ownership as of the record date, or other similar evidence of ownership as of the record date, as well as a government-issued photo identification, such as a valid driver’s license. The name on your photo identification and your proof of ownership must match. If you hold a valid legal proxy to vote a shareholder’s ordinary shares at the Annual General Meeting, you will also be asked to present a government-issued photo identification, such as a valid driver’s license, and the name on your

photo identification and legal proxy must match for admission to the Annual General Meeting.

Please note that cameras, sound or video recording equipment, smartphones or other similar equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages

may not be allowed (or their use may be restricted) in the meeting room. Security measures at the Annual General Meeting may also include bag searches and hand-wand searches.

How do I vote?

Voting in Person

Ordinary shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual General Meeting. Ordinary shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual General Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or nominee

that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares in person at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, we recommend that you also vote your ordinary shares as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

Voting Without Attending the Annual General Meeting

Whether you hold shares directly as a shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote your ordinary shares without attending the Annual General Meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for ordinary shares held in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee. You may also submit a proxy or voting instructions by telephone or using the Internet as outlined on your Notice of Internet

Availability, proxy card or voting instruction form. Please see your Notice of Internet Availability, proxy card or the information your bank, broker, or other nominee provided to you for more information on these options. Votes cast by Internet or telephone have the same effect as votes cast by submitting a written proxy card or voting instruction form.

		How to Vote in Advance
		Your vote is important. Please vote as soon as possible by one of the methods shown below. Be sure to have your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in hand:
		By telephone			You can vote your shares by calling the number provided in the proxy card or voting instruction form
		By Internet			You can vote your shares online at www.proxyvote.com
		By mail			Complete, sign, date and return your proxy card or voting instruction form in the postage-paid envelope provided

Deadline for Voting

If you are a shareholder of record, your proxy must be received by telephone or the Internet by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 12, 2019 in order for your ordinary shares to be voted at the Annual General Meeting. However, if you are a shareholder of record and you

received a copy of the proxy materials by mail, you may instead mark, sign and date the proxy card you received and return it in the accompanying prepaid and addressed envelope so that it is received by us before the Annual General Meeting in order for your ordinary shares to be

ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND VOTING

voted at the Annual General Meeting. If you hold your ordinary shares in street name, please provide your

voting instructions by the deadline specified by the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares.

How will my shares be voted?

Our Board has appointed Mr. Mark A. Kempa and Ms. Faye Ashby to serve as proxy holders to vote your shares according to the instructions you submit. If you properly submit a proxy but do not specify your voting choice on one or more of the items listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, your shares will be voted as follows:

FOR the election of each of the four nominees for Class III director (Proposal No. 1);

FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal No. 2);

FOR the approval of the amendment and restatement of our bye-laws to delete obsolete provisions (Proposal No. 3); and

FOR the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019 and the determination of PwC’s remuneration by our Audit Committee (Proposal No. 4).

If you hold your ordinary shares in street name through a brokerage account and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may generally vote your ordinary shares in its discretion on routine matters. However, a broker cannot vote ordinary shares

held in street name on non-routine matters unless the broker receives voting instructions from the street name holder. The proposal to ratify the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019 and our Audit Committee’s determination of PwC’s remuneration (Proposal No. 4) is considered routine under applicable rules, while each of the other items to be submitted for a vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting is considered non-routine. Accordingly, if you hold your ordinary shares in street name through a brokerage account and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may exercise its discretion to vote your ordinary shares on Proposal No. 4, but will not be permitted to vote your ordinary shares on any of the other items at the Annual General Meeting. If your broker exercises this discretion, your ordinary shares will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual General Meeting and will be voted on Proposal No. 4 in the manner directed by your broker, but your shares will constitute “broker non-votes” on each of the other items at the Annual General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted as a vote cast with respect to Proposal Nos. 1 and 2 and therefore will not be counted in determining the outcome of such items. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal No. 3.

What matters will be presented?

We are not aware of any matters to be presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. If any matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly

presented at the meeting, your proxy, if properly submitted, gives authority to the proxy holders to vote your ordinary shares in accordance with their judgment.

What constitutes a quorum?

A quorum refers to the number of persons that must be in attendance at an annual general meeting of shareholders and the percentage of the total issued voting shares that must be represented at such meeting in order to lawfully conduct business. The presence of two or more persons, present in person or by proxy, holding in excess of 50% of the total issued ordinary shares entitled to vote will form a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual General Meeting. Shares represented by properly submitted proxies

that reflect abstentions or broker non-votes will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. If the persons present or represented by proxy at the Annual General Meeting constitute the holders of less than a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote as of the record date, the chairperson of the Annual General Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a subsequent date for the purpose of obtaining a quorum.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is the vote required for proposals on the agenda?

The following summary describes the vote required to approve each of the proposals at the Annual General Meeting assuming a quorum has been established for the transaction of business at the meeting.

Election of Class III Directors (Proposal No. 1). Pursuant to our bye-laws, each director nominee receiving an affirmative majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election will be elected as a Class III director. The majority voting standard does not apply, however, where the number of persons validly proposed for election as a director is greater than the number of directors to be elected. In such circumstances, directors will instead be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the persons receiving the highest number of votes, up to the total number of directors to be elected at the meeting, will be elected.

At the Annual General Meeting, the number of director nominees validly proposed for election as a Class III director equals the number of directors to be elected. Therefore, in accordance with the majority voting standard, director nominees will be elected at the Annual General Meeting by an affirmative majority of the votes cast. Shareholders are not permitted to cumulate their shares for the purpose of electing directors.

For purposes of this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and therefore will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of directors.

Amendment and Restatement of Bye-laws (Proposal No. 3). Pursuant to our bye-laws, the affirmative vote

of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of our Company is required to approve Proposal No. 3 (amendment to bye-laws). For purposes of this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

All Other Proposals (Proposals No. 2 and 4). Pursuant to our bye-laws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the meeting is required to approve each of Proposal No. 2 (advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers) and Proposal No. 4 (ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm and the Audit Committee’s determination of PwC’s remuneration). Notwithstanding this vote standard required by our bye-laws, Proposal No. 2 and Proposal No. 4 are advisory in nature and therefore not binding on our Company. Our Board will consider the outcome of the vote on each of these items in considering what action, if any, should be taken in response to the vote by shareholders. For purposes of these proposals, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as votes cast and therefore will not be counted in determining the outcome of any of these proposals.

Prior to the Annual General Meeting, we will select two or more inspectors of election for the meeting. Such inspectors will determine the number of ordinary shares represented at the Annual General Meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies. They will also receive and tabulate ballots and votes and determine the results thereof.

Can I revoke a proxy?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual General Meeting by delivering a written notice of revocation to our General Counsel and Assistant Secretary at 7665 Corporate Center Drive, Miami, Florida 33126, prior to the Annual General Meeting, by submitting a later-dated proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by mail by the deadline specified on the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card (only your latest proxy submitted prior to the Annual General Meeting will be counted), or by attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name through a bank,

broker or other nominee, you may change any previous voting instructions by submitting new voting instructions to the bank, broker or nominee holding your shares by the deadline specified on the Notice of Internet Availability or voting instruction form or by attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if you have obtained a legal proxy from the bank, broker or nominee giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual General Meeting. Attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not by itself constitute a revocation of any proxy or voting instructions.

Important Information and Dates Related to the 2020 Annual General Meeting

In order for a shareholder proposal to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy statement under the rules of the SEC for next year’s 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders, the written proposal must be received by the General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of our Company at our offices no later than December , 2019 and must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. If we change the date of the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders by more than 30 days from the anniversary of this year’s meeting, shareholder proposals must be received a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Our bye-laws provide that in order for a shareholder proposal to be presented at our 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders, including shareholder nominations for candidates for election as directors, written notice to the General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of our Company of such shareholder proposal or director nomination must be received at our executive offices not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding annual general meeting of shareholders. This requirement is independent of and in addition to the notice required under SEC rules for inclusion of a shareholder proposal in our proxy materials. As a result, shareholders who intend to present proposals or director

nominations at the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders under these provisions must give written notice of the proposal to our General Counsel and Assistant Secretary no earlier than February 14, 2020, and no later than March 15, 2020. However, if the date of the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders is a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after June 13, 2020, the anniversary date of the 2019 Annual General Meeting, notice by a shareholder of a proposal must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders and no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders, or if the first public announcement of the 2020 annual general meeting of the shareholders is less than 100 days prior to such meeting date, the 10th day after the public announcement of such date.

Our bye-laws require that a shareholder must provide certain information concerning the proposing person, the nominee and the proposal, as applicable. Nominations and proposals not meeting the requirements set forth in our bye-laws will not be entertained at the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders should contact our General Counsel and Assistant Secretary in writing at 7665 Corporate Center Drive, Miami, Florida 33126 to obtain additional information as to the proper form and content of shareholder nominations or proposals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

APPENDIX A — NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND
RECONCILIATIONS

Non-GAAP Definitions

Adjusted EPS. Net income, adjusted for supplemental adjustments, divided by the number of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA. Earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for other income (expense), net and other supplemental adjustments.

Adjusted ROIC. Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude amortization of intangible assets related to the Acquisition of Prestige, divided by debt and shareholders’ equity, averaged for four quarters.

Net Yield. Total revenue less commissions, transportation and other expense and onboard and other expense per Capacity Day.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted ROIC and Net Yield to enable us to analyze our performance.

We utilize Net Yield to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that it is one of the most relevant measures of our revenue performance because it reflects the revenue earned by us net of significant variable costs.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a supplemental financial measure as it is used by management to assess operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in determining our performance as it reflects certain operating drivers of our business, such as sales growth, operating costs, marketing, general and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or comparable to net income, as it does not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments and it includes other supplemental adjustments.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain amounts and is used to supplement GAAP EPS. We use Adjusted EPS as a key performance measure of our earnings performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EPS in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Adjusted EPS also facilitates management’s internal comparison to our historical performance. Our management believes the presentation of Adjusted ROIC provides a useful performance metric to both management and investors for evaluating our effective use of capital. In addition, management uses both Adjusted EPS and Adjusted ROIC as performance measures for our incentive compensation.

The amounts excluded in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from period to period; accordingly, our presentation of Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted ROIC may not be indicative of future adjustments or results.

You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment used in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we consider our non-GAAP financial measures appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

57.

56. Indemnification and Exculpation of Directors and Officers.

57.1

56.1 To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, a Director shall not be liable to the Company or its Shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director.

57.2

56.2 Without limitation of any right conferred by Bye-law 567.1, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, Officer or Resident Representative of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Director, Officer, Resident Representative, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a Director, Officer, Resident Representative, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, Officer, Resident Representative, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Act (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, Officer or Resident Representative and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, testators, intestates, executors and administrators and Affiliates; provided, however, except as provided in Bye-law 567.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Bye-law 567 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Company, the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Act requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his capacity as a Director, Officer or Resident Representative shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Bye-law or otherwise.

57.3

56.3 If a claim under Bye-law 567.2 is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any

B-31 /

APPENDIX B — PROPOSED AMENDED AND RESTATED BYE-LAWS

such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of any undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the Shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Company, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, independent legal counsel or the Shareholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Bye-law or otherwise shall be on the Company.

57.4

56.4 The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Bye-law 567 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, from or through the Company, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.
