The cruises compared here
These are the two day trips from Split that most travellers compare. Both leave from Obala Lazareta, both run in English and both give you swimming time.
They differ in length, price, food and score, and the gap in score is large.
1What each day looks like
The Brač and Šolta cruise lasts 7 hours on a vintage yacht. You swim off Brač, eat lunch on board and have free time in Stomorska on Šolta. A snack, lunch and drinks are in the price.
The Blue Lagoon and Trogir trip lasts 5.5 hours. You stop at the Blue Lagoon for an hour of free time, then at Okrug Gornji beach on Čiovo, where the listing says you can eat at a beach bar, then spend an hour in Trogir.
2Price against what you get
The difference is €29 on the starting price. For that, the Brač and Šolta cruise adds 1.5 hours, food and drinks. On the Blue Lagoon trip you pay for your own meal at the beach bar.
The scores also separate them: 9.5 from 159 reviews against 7.7 from 99. Of the two, the Brač and Šolta cruise is the one with the evidence behind it.
3Which to book
Book Brač and Šolta if you want a relaxed, full day and are happy with little sightseeing. The listing says it is not a party cruise.
Book the Blue Lagoon trip if you have only half a day, or if you want Trogir's old town in the same outing. Both can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before.
