The journey from Bremerhaven to Bremen takes you through a picturesque landscape along the river Weser. You have several options to cover this distance. One option is the very pleasant journey, the train was very quiet, but the people inside were very loud, otherwise everything was very nice. With RE9 you also have free wifi. The seats were very comfortable and also clean. The journey took about an hour. You didn't have to change trains. Again and again.
Advantages
IconComfortable
IconGood service
IconSaves time in contrast to the car
Disadvantages
IconMay be delayed
IconFailures
The train ride from Bremerhaven to Bremen was another highlight of my trip. The good facilities, especially the wifi, the friendly service due to the courteous and helpful behaviour and the polite and attentive manner of the staff made this train journey an unforgettable experience.
Advantages
IconSufficient information
IconCompensation
IconGood seating comfort
Disadvantages
IconRail replacement service
IconHigh utilisation
IconNo toilets available
On the journey to Bremen, it so happened that the line had been closed. I therefore had to use the rail replacement service, which greatly increased the journey time. However, the bus was very clean, but due to the high number of passengers it was very busy and thus many had to stand for hours. The good thing was that we were given enough information and offered compensation. Nevertheless, the seating comfort was very good. The only thing missing was toilets, as it was a long journey.
Advantages
IconTravels hourly
IconFast way to get from Bremen to Bremerhaven
Disadvantages
IconFull station
The wifi on this trip was very good. Power sockets were available at the seats for up to 4 people. The seats are comfortable to sit on and there was a pleasant noise level throughout the journey. There is no need to change trains and the train was on time.
Advantages
IconQuickly at the destination
IconA snack bar
Disadvantages
IconDelay
I often use this train connection and 70% of the time the train is always late. Unfortunately, it is always very crowded, so there are often no more free seats. In addition, the train is not really clean, the walls are dirty and smeared with sticky stuff. Unfortunately, the ticket machine did not work, but there was a well-stocked snack bar. Unfortunately, the train had no wifi connection and also no electricity if you wanted to charge your smartphone. The toilet gets two stars from me, because it smelled very unpleasant and didn't look really clean. What I can rate positively is that I arrived quickly at my destination. The price-performance ratio is a bit overpriced in my opinion.
Advantages
IconPunctuality
Disadvantages
IconPrice
We went sightseeing from Bremerhaven to Bremen to see the Bremen Town Musicians. Although I'm often used to things being different with Deutsche Bahn, the train arrived very punctually. It wasn't overcrowded, so we still managed to get a good seat. The journey took about 40 minutes and went without any problems. The train was very clean, there was nothing to complain about.
Advantages

Disadvantages
IconPunctuality
Unfortunately, I have a very bad memory of this train connection. I was travelling on business to a very important appointment. Unfortunately, the train was delayed and then cancelled, so I was much too late for my appointment. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a seat on the next train, which was of course totally overcrowded. The price for the train ticket is absolutely fine. The cleanliness could also be better. Everything was very dirty.
Advantages
IconVery nice staff
Disadvantages
IconActually none
I commute very often by train and would like to evaluate this connection. The booking was made without any problems. The train arrived on time, boarding was smooth, there were no obstacles. On the train, it was clean and pleasant. There was beautiful scenery on the way. There was a ticket machine on the train, which also worked. Unfortunately, there was no wifi, but there was electricity. I personally found the toilets not really clean, but it was acceptable. Therefore, I can gladly recommend this connection.
Advantages
IconCan only report positive things
Disadvantages
IconNone
I can't report anything negative about this connection. The journey was very relaxed, and pleasant. The staff were very friendly and approachable. Booking the ticket was easy and quick. The price was reasonable. The train made a good impression, there was electricity, wifi and a snack bar on the train, the toilets were clean, everything was there so you could do your business, you could get a coffee during the journey. A very pleasant connection that I can gladly recommend to others.

The return journey was pretty relaxed, just like the outward journey. The only thing that bothered me a little was the slow wifi reception, but that didn't matter much. As usual, it was very clean and hygienic on the train. The atmosphere there was also very relaxing and pleasant, as it was very quiet. The journey took almost 30 minutes and I didn't have to change trains. I also give the connection 4 stars.
Advantages
IconWell cleaned
Disadvantages
IconToilet defective
I am quite satisfied with the train journey. The conductor was friendly and the hygiene on the train was impeccable. We arrived without delay and there were power sockets. There was no wifi. The only problem was that the toilet was broken. The price is okay.

The return journey was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thanks to the great network connection and the relaxed atmosphere, I was able to work on my laptop the whole time.

My journey with Deutsche Bahn from Bremerhaven Hbf to Bremen Hbf was very good. The train occupancy was pleasantly low, the journey was short and the service en route was also good. Unfortunately, the toilets were a little dirty, which is inevitable on a busy train. I can recommend this train to anyone, whether commuter, day trip or holiday. Gladly again.
