Blue Riband. An informal award, of uncertain origin, claimed by the cruise ship with the fastest North Atlantic sailing time from various points in England or Ireland to New York’s Sandy Hook, a distance of about 2,800 nautical miles. There is no physical award and no organization to award it. Sometimes spelled “Blue Ribband,” but pronounced “blue ribbon.”
