The journey was good and I had wifi and a power socket. The seats were good, it was quiet and I had provisions from the nice staff. I had a reservation option and included information in advance. The toilets were not clean and stank. I did not have to change trains, but the train was not on time. But price-performance ratio is good.

The route between the two cities can be covered quickly and comfortably by train. The train connection between Bremen and Bremerhaven is well developed and the trains run regularly, so you can plan your journey flexibly. However, I must point out that the price of a train ticket from Bremen to Bremerhaven is not exactly cheap. It may be worth booking early or looking for special offers to reduce the price. If you are flexible, you could also consider travelling by bus or carpooling to save money. Overall, however, travelling by train from Bremen to Bremerhaven is a recommended option, especially if you are looking for a comfortable and reliable way to travel. The scenery along the route is also very beautiful.
