If you had iCloud Photos turned on, you can use a computer and login to icloud.com and go to the Photos app there. Also if you turn on iCloud Photos on a replacement phone using the same Apple ID the photos will automatically sync to it. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If you didn't have iCloud Photos turned on but do have an iCloud backup, you can use the backup to set up a replacement phone from iCloud but you cannot otherwise view the contents of the backup. Restore or set up your device from an iCloud backup - Apple Support
