Great! Alaska is beautiful, but to truly see the nature you need to go on some of the excursions from the ship, or book them independently as I did. If you simply stay in the port cities, in the area where you're dropped off, there will mostly be tourist and jewelry shops, esp. in Juneau. I hate shopping, so they were of no interest to me. In Juneau, you can take the local bus to the Mendenhall Glacier. It's pretty cheap, and not an "extreme activity." :) Skagway and Ketchikan have a lot of nice walking areas, so your wife will probably like these places best. And you will see a lot of nice scenery from the cruise ship while you're cruising from port to port. Enjoy!
