Alaska coming up and a lens question for those that have been....

First let me say I'm a 69 year old retired arthritic and carrying gear, especially big glass, is a real problem for me.  I've been through lots of Fuji glass since being an early adopter of the X Pro 1, now XT-1 with a 2 ordered.  My present kit is the 14, 18-55 and 55-200.  I've tried the 10-24, the 16-55 and the 23 f1.4, the 35 f 1.4 and the 18-135 and sold them as being either too heavy or focal lengths that live in the closet.  Have also been through lots of Minolta and other glass for the X system but am no longer "into" manual focus.

I shoot very little at home although as my handle implies, I like/love to travel, mainly cruises with significant ground expeditions and will be going to Alaska with 8 days on ship and 8 days inland in June.

For those who have been how necessary would I find the 100-400?
