I was in the same situation. I ended up with a Lumix FZ200 (about $75 in LN condition) for a river cruise down the Rhine. It was the perfect camera for shooting from the boat, especially on overcast or drizzly days. I used the "happy" mode to make things "pop" a little. Note that I am 83 yo, with really bad legs, so it was a little too heavy for shore excursions, where I used a Canon s110. Someone in better shape could probably use the fz200 more.
As indicated by other readers, cameras with larger sensors will probably give somewhat better results, but with many trade-offs (cost, weight, constant f2.8 aperature, zoom reach, and versatility). I found the results from the fz200 more than adequate.
Note that the fz300 is basically the same as the fz200, but with weather sealing, heavier weight, and higher cost.
Hope that this helps.

If I remember correctly, the fz300 does not have the constant aperture. $75 on the fz200. That was a bargain. I guess you’re not selling it.
