Many travelers expect First Class on Germany’s high-speed ICE train to be a premium experience — but is it really worth it? In this video, I document the full First Class journey aboard Deutsche Bahn’s ICE high-speed train from Frankfurt Airport to Liège, offering an honest and detailed look at what passengers can truly expect.
This cinematic 4K trip report covers the complete ICE First Class experience, including Frankfurt Airport station, boarding the ICE high-speed train, the First Class cabin, seating comfort and legroom, onboard service, food and drinks, and overall comfort during the journey through Germany and Belgium.
The journey concludes with an arrival at Liège-Guillemins railway station, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular and architecturally impressive train stations. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, Liège-Guillemins is a highlight in itself and a fitting end to this high-speed rail journey.
This video is ideal for travelers comparing European high-speed train experiences, rail enthusiasts, or anyone curious to see whether Germany’s flagship ICE train truly delivers a premium First Class product.
