I'm doing the same trip next summer (May 2023), so this thread is fantastic. I hadn't put much thought into photography gear (or any other gear) yet, as my trip is over a year off, but this is a good jump start.
If I were going today, I think I would lean toward getting a TG-x for in the boat and using my E-M1 + 12-100 as John suggested for out of the boat and flat water. I'd go with that combo over the X-H1 +16-80 due to Oly's better weather resistance and for the extra reach.
But who knows, maybe I'll stumble into a pile of cash in the next 12 months and treat myself to an OM-1 or X-H2.
Fun story: my sister did this trip in 2019 and got placed in a group with Jason Alexander (a.k.a. George Costanza), so you never know who you might find yourself with. Good idea to have a nice camera to document it.
