Iceland is one of the easiest places to reach from the US, where the Northern Lights can fill the sky, with nonstop flights from several US cities and dark nights from September through April. The catch is the weather, because Atlantic storms and clouds can wipe out a perfect aurora forecast or a flight home, so plan the trip with the guys around several nights, a cloud forecast and a buffer day.

Elmhurst Outdoors is a family-run maple sugar farm in Erbs Cove on New Brunswick's Kingston Peninsula, outside Saint John, and one of the few maple farms I've visited that is worth the trip outside sugaring season. My buddy Sujeet and I visited in October 2025 on a Canada and New England cruise, but the farm runs maple sugaring tours in spring, ski and snowshoe trails in winter, and paddling and hikes the rest of the year, so it works for a long weekend guys getaway all year long.

One of the biggest budget choices on a guys cruise is whether to splurge on unlimited Wi-Fi or spend that money on the things that build memories - lobster excursions, Brazilian steakhouse dinners, and a respectable bar tab. My buddy Sujeet and I took a Canada and New England cruise on Norwegian Getaway last year as guests of WMS Cellular at Sea, where we tested the AT&T and Verizon cruise day passes ($20/day) and the Cruise+ eSIM data plan from GigSky. We also tried NCL's Wi-Fi to figure out which connectivity option fits which kind of guy at sea.

In my experience, a lot of stomach trouble on a guys trip starts as a pile-up of heavier drinking than at home, rich unfamiliar food and a week of work stress letting go, and then a real bug picked up from ice, raw fruit or food that sat out too long lands on top. The CDC says bacteria cause most cases of travelers' diarrhea, and a bacterial case usually runs three to seven days untreated, which is the better part of a long weekend with the guys.

An all-inclusive resort in Mexico or the Caribbean covers your room, the buffet, the restaurants, and the bar, but the things most guys build the week around - a tee time, a fishing charter, a cenote swim, or a cigar and whiskey pairing - usually cost extra. If you are planning a weekend with the guys, or you are a guy looking for a couples resort trying to figure out what to do between pool sessions, the gap between what the brochure lists and what the nightly rate covers is where the surprise bill comes from.

A Vegas bachelor weekend works best when you plan casino time instead of assuming it. Vegas is still the first city most groups name for a bachelor party, and plenty of them still want some time at the tables, but fewer of them want the whole weekend built around a casino floor. Guys gamble differently now, and some of the floors have changed too, so the checklist below starts with the questions that shape everything else.
