Well, depends on whether you are looking to have professional pictures or just very good vacation pictures. If the latter, then I would heartily endorse the earlier opinion of something like the Sony RX10 IV. It has a 1" sensor and great for both closeups and telephoto. If you want to be able to just relax and take good pictures, that would be the way I would go. Simple. Lightweight. Unobstrusive. Easier packing with less worry over damage. Shoots RAW and JPEG. If you want best quality, then I would also recomment bigger telephoto even if you just rent/borrow it. Those grizzly bears and sheep can be awful far away on land trips and same with sea otters and whales on cruise ships. If you are leaving from Seattle, wave as you go by my house on Whidbey Island.

Or save your dollars up and take a week long photography cruise on a 6 person trip in a 6 cabin boat. This was better than any big ship cruise I ever took.

I am in Alaska right now and shooting micro 4/3. The focal length that I am using is 350 and 600mm.
I would take your 70-300 and 24-85. That’s a good combo for nature and street. Take some warm clothes and dress in layers.

The 70-300 and the 24-85 should cover your needs! Any thing else would be overkill and just more to pack, carry and keep up with! Enjoy the cruise.
