The fastest liners of the time could do it in about six days.
So, give it a week to nine days, depending on weather. |

The previous answers were taking into consideration only the "Legal" and decently run shipping line. During the famine emigrations, voyages to America or Canada on the so-called "coffin ships" took six weeks to three months. (See the sources I've listed below)
These ships were packed with from 100 to 200 percent capacity with poor Irish hoping for a new life in a new land after their own land had been stolen by British. However the death toll on these ships varied up to 70 percent.
The cargo (that's ancestors and family to you and me) were generally packed into below deck holds intended for animals or merchandise, assigned to one be per family, and not allowed above decks during the entire voyage. In many cases, documentation shows that these Irish cargo were given little to drink, little (or nothing) to eat, ventilation only during good weather, and buckets to use as toilets - which were seldom emptied. Many of these paying passengers died during the trip, or shortly afterward.
So, Luck, for many the journey took a lifetime. |

Early passenger ships with square rigged sails were dependant on having winds that were heading toward the place that they wanted to get to so they could only travel at certain times of the year. To cross the Atlantic would take about fifteen to twenty days. Most likely though, passengers making the crossing around 1915 would make the trip on a steamship which would take about nine days. |

It usually took 10 days, depending upon cargo, how many passengers and the type of ship, but 10 days was the norm. |
