You can see Orca's anywhere along that route however Victoria and Sitka would be the most likely place. You can see humpbacks the whole trip if you are really looking. Always look for the spray for all whales. For Salmon fishing your best bet would be Ketchikan or Sitka. There are nice hiking places in all the Alaskan ports, however be aware there are moose and bears and some trails may shut down when they have been spotted. For your mom to step on a glacier I would suggest Juneau but to guarantee it I would take a helicopter trip to a glacier and that is expensive. She can get close in Juneau at the Mendenhall Glacier. I always find something new to see in every trip this trip we will just take it easy due to some medical problems that have hit me and my wife.
