Swedish American Line (, abbreviated SAL) is a Swedish passenger shipping line. It was founded in December 1914 under the name Rederiaktiebolaget Sverige-Nordamerika, beginning ocean liner service from Gothenburg to New York in 1915. In 1925 the company changed its name to Svenska Amerika Linien / Swedish American Line. The Swedish American Line was amongst the first companies to build liners with provisions for off-season cruising, as well as the world's first company to build a diesel-engined transatlantic liner. Increased operational costs and stronger competition from aeroplanes forced the company to abandon passenger traffic in 1975, but cargo operations continued until the 1980s. In late 2016 the brand was resurrected as Rederi Swedish American Line AB was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, with plans to build and operate a new cruise ship named KUNGSHOLM 5.
