BACKGROUND

(A) By a Master Shipbuilding (Contracts and Options) Agreement dated 14 May 2008 (the “Master Agreement”) entered into between (inter alia) Fincantieri - Cantieri Navali Italiani SpA (the “Builder”), Prestige Cruise Holdings and, by way of endorsement, Marina New Build LLC (the “Borrower”) providing for an original shipbuilding contract dated 13 June 2007 (the “Original Shipbuilding Contract”) between the Borrower and the Builder to be novated and modified in the form and on the terms set out in the Master Agreement (the Original Shipbuilding Contract as novated and modified by the Master Agreement being hereinafter referred to as the “Shipbuilding Contract”), the Builder has agreed to design, construct and deliver, and the Borrower has agreed to purchase, a passenger cruise ship currently having hull number 6194.

(B) By a loan agreement dated 18 July 2008 and made between (i) the Borrower, (ii) the Lenders, (iii) the Mandated Lead Arrangers and (iv) the Agent and SACE Agent, it was agreed that the Lenders would make available to the Borrower a loan facility of the Dollar Equivalent of up to EUR 349,520,718 for the purpose of assisting the Borrower in financing (i) payment under the Shipbuilding Contract of all or part of 80% of the Final Contract Price up to the Eligible Amount and (ii) payment to SACE of the Dollar Equivalent of 100% of the second instalment of the SACE Premium.

(C) The execution and delivery to the Agent of this Guarantee is one of the conditions precedent to the availability of the facility under the said Loan Agreement.

IT IS AGREED as follows:

1 INTERPRETATION

1.1 Defined expressions. Words and expressions defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used in this Guarantee unless the context otherwise requires.

1.2 Construction of certain terms. In this Guarantee:

“bankruptcy” includes a liquidation, receivership or administration and any form of suspension of payments, arrangement with creditors or reorganisation under any corporate or insolvency law of any country;

“Loan Agreement” means the loan agreement dated 18 July 2008 referred to in Recital (A) and includes any existing or future amendments or supplements, whether made with the Guarantor’s consent or otherwise; and

“Oceania Cruises Group” means the Guarantor and its subsidiaries.

1.3 Application of construction and interpretation provisions of Loan Agreement. Clauses 1.2 to 1.5 of the Loan Agreement apply, with any necessary modifications, to this Guarantee.

2 GUARANTEE

2.1 Guarantee and indemnity. The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably:

(a) guarantees the due payment of all amounts payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and every other Finance Document;

(b) undertakes to pay to the Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties, on the Agent’s demand, any such amount which is not paid by the Borrower when payable;

(c) undertakes to procure that the Borrower shall perform all its other obligations under the Loan Agreement and every other Finance Document; and

(d) fully indemnifies the Agent and each other Creditor Party on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by the Agent as a result of or in connection with any obligation or liability guaranteed by the Guarantor unenforceable, invalid, void or illegal; and the amount recoverable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which the Agent or any Creditor Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

2.2 No limit on number of demands. The Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties may serve any number of demands under Clause 2.1.

3 LIABILITY AS PRINCIPAL AND INDEPENDENT DEBTOR

3.1 Principal and independent debtor. The Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee as a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of the rights or defences of a surety.

3.2 Waiver of rights and defences. Without limiting the generality of Clause 3.1, the Guarantor shall neither be discharged by, nor have any claim against any Creditor Party in respect of:

(a) any amendment or supplement being made to the Finance Documents or any of them;

(b) any arrangement or concession (including a rescheduling or acceptance of partial payments) relating to, or affecting, the Finance Documents or any of them;

(c) any release or loss whatsoever of any guarantee, right or Security Interest created by the Finance Documents or any of them;

2

(d) any failure whatsoever promptly or properly to exercise or enforce any such right or Security Interest, including a failure to realise for its full market value an asset covered by such a Security Interest; or

(e) any other Finance Document or any Security Interest now being or later becoming void, unenforceable, illegal or invalid or otherwise defective for any reason, including a neglect to register it.

4 EXPENSES

4.1 Costs of preservation of rights, enforcement etc. The Guarantor shall pay to the Agent on its demand the amount of all expenses incurred by the Agent or any other Creditor Party in connection with any matter arising out of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it, including any advice, claim or proceedings relating to this Guarantee or such a Security Interest.

4.2 Fees and expenses payable under Loan Agreement. Clause 4.1 is without prejudice to the Guarantor’s liabilities in respect of the Borrower’s obligations under clauses 10 (Fees) and 11 (Taxes, Increased Costs and Related Charges) of the Loan Agreement and under similar provisions of other Finance Documents.

5 ADJUSTMENT OF TRANSACTIONS

5.1 Reinstatement of obligation to pay. The Guarantor shall pay to the Agent on its demand any amount which any Creditor Party is required, or agrees, to pay pursuant to any claim by, or settlement with, a trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrower or of any other Obligor (or similar person) on the ground that the Loan Agreement, or a payment by the Borrower or of such other Obligor, was invalid or on any similar ground.

6 PAYMENTS

6.1 Method of payments. Any amount due under this Guarantee shall be paid:

(a) in immediately available funds;

(b) to such account as the Agent acting on behalf of the other Creditor Parties may from time to time notify to the Guarantor;

(c) without any form of set-off, cross-claim or condition; and

(d) free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Guarantor is required by law to make.

6.2 Grossing-up for taxes. If the Guarantor is required by law to make a tax deduction, the amount due to the Agent acting on behalf of the other Creditor Parties shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the Agent and (if the payment is not due to the Agent for its own account) the Creditor Party beneficially interested in the payment receives and retains a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount that it would otherwise have received.

6.3 Tax Credits. If an additional payment is made by the Guarantor under this Clause and any Creditor Party determines that it has received or been granted a credit against or relief of or calculated with reference to the deduction giving rise to such additional payment, such Creditor Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment and provided that it has received the cash benefit of such credit, relief or remission, pay to the Guarantor such amount as such Creditor Party shall in its reasonable opinion have concluded to be attributable to the relevant deduction. Any such payment shall be conclusive evidence of

3

the amount due to the Guarantor hereunder and shall be accepted by the Guarantor in full and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement hereunder in respect of such deduction. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of each Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit.

7 INTEREST

7.1 Accrual of interest. Any amount due under this Guarantee shall carry interest after the date on which the Agent demands payment of it until it is actually paid, unless interest on that same amount also accrues under the Loan Agreement.

7.2 Calculation of interest. Interest on sums payable under this Guarantee shall be calculated and accrue in the same way as interest under clause 6 of the Loan Agreement.

7.3 Guarantee extends to interest payable under Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that this Guarantee covers all interest payable under the Loan Agreement, including that payable under clause 17 of the Loan Agreement.

8 SUBORDINATION

8.1 Subordination of rights of Guarantor. All rights which the Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other transaction) against the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Creditor Parties under the Finance Documents; and in particular, the Guarantor shall not:

(a) claim, or in a bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Obligor prove for, any amount payable to the Guarantor by the Borrower or any other Obligor, whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other transaction;

(b) take or enforce any Security Interest for any such amount;

(c) claim to set-off any such amount against any amount payable by the Guarantor to the Borrower or any other Obligor; or

(d) claim any subrogation or right of contribution or other right in respect of any Finance Document or any sum received or recovered by any Creditor Party under a Finance Document.

9 ENFORCEMENT

9.1 No requirement to commence proceedings against Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any other Creditor Party will need to make any demand under, commence any proceedings under, or enforce any guarantee or any Security Interest contained in or created by, the Loan Agreement or any other Finance Document before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Guarantee.

9.2 Conclusive evidence of certain matters. However, as against the Guarantor:

(a) any judgment or order of a court in England or the Xxxxxxxx Islands or the United States of America in connection with the Loan Agreement; and

(b) any statement or admission of the Borrower in connection with the Loan Agreement,

shall be binding and conclusive as to all matters of fact and law to which it relates.

9.3 Suspense account. The Agent and any Creditor Party may, for the purpose of claiming or proving in a bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Obligor, place any sum received or recovered under or by virtue of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it on a separate suspense or other nominal account without applying it in satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.
