Even if you do the cruise ship thing and you don't hit it on a steam day (mine was one day before back in 2012), taking the full day ride all the way to Carcross and return by bus is outstanding! In fact, I would almost argue that taking the diesel that goes on past Fraser Meadows and on to Lake Bennett and terminates in Carcross would be the better trip than riding behind steam... (blasphemy I know!)
