I enjoy photography so I spent a lot of time researching products and what would work best for my needs. I've found supposed touch screen gloves don't always work. This is what I ended up with for our Atlas Antarctic cruise in December 2021.
I had thin liner gloves that you could remove the top for the thumb and index finger.

Over that I had fold away mittens that were fingerless. Unfortunately REI is no longer selling this particular product, but I'm sure there is something similar out there. Keep in mind you need to factor in the liners when choosing a size.

Worn together it was the perfect combination for my needs. Hands were warm and water resistant, but I could uncover a finger to operate a touch screen if I needed to. They're heading out on other cruise in November. 🙂
There are quite a few gloves where you can uncover the tips of your fingers. Search 'fishing gloves cold weather' on Amazon and you'll see some heavier weight options if you aren't interested in the two glove system.
