Ive decided to try the EOS R50. Purpose is for landscape and wildlife trip. Which RFs lenses should i get: 10-18 and 18-150, or 18-45 and 55-210? My goal is to get the best landscapes, but also the occasional bear on an Alaska trip. Price does not matter.

If price does not matter, I would get the 10-18 for landscapes (though you could just create a multi-image panorama) the 18-150 for walking around, and the 200-800 for wildlife.
Though the 100 to 400 is probably a bit more budget friendly.

Greetings,
We don't know what you're coming from or your level of experience really. The R50 is a great starter mirrorless camera. It's got a 24 megapixel sensor and will take some great pictures.
Even though it's entry level, if you're coming from a DSLR, you're going to notice a big difference in performance. On the R50, I'd go for the RF-S18-150 and RF 100-400 to start. I did an Alaska cruise 2 years ago. Fantastic trip, beautiful country, and plenty of wildlife. When are you going? Are you doing a cruise or will it be land-based?
