The 73-year-old British yachtsman, who was competing in a transatlantic race organised by Plymouth's Royal Western Yacht Club, issued a mayday as his yacht took on water.
Queen Mary 2 brought the yachtsman safely onboard after diverting its course in a rescue operation coordinated by the Canadian Coastguard.
The cruise ship is currently on an eight day westbound transatlantic crossing calling in Halifax, Nova Scotia Tuesday, and then onto New York.
