How many days did it take the Titanic ship to cross the Atlantic ocean?
Short answer: about 5-1/2 days.
Or, is the answer you're after "never?" RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic never arrived in New York. She struck an iceberg late in the evening of her fourth day out and sank early the next morning, April 15, 1912. But I researched this answer using the maiden voyage time of her sister, RMS Olympic. According to , Olympic made her first crossing in 5 days, 15 hours and 2 minutes, traveling 2894 miles at an average speed of 21.43 knots. Titanic surely would have done about the same had she arrived in New York.
