Hi! We're Ashley and Paul Van Drie, travel advisors with Cruise Brothers and the founders of Operation To Honor LLC. Travel has always been a part of our lives. Ashley grew up traveling with a pilot father and flight attendant mother, while Paul spent his summers growing up in Grand Cayman before serving as an Army Combat Medic and later becoming a disabled veteran. Ashley holds degrees in Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism Management and Psychology with a focus on Military Family Resilience. Together, we bring a unique blend of travel experience, hospitality knowledge, and a passion for serving others.

For more than 15 years, we've been traveling and exploring the world together. Along the way, we've learned that some of our best conversations, favorite memories, and strongest moments of connection happen when we step away from the demands of everyday life. That's one reason we love cruising so much. Once onboard, the planning is done—your accommodations, dining, entertainment, and transportation travel with you. We love exploring new destinations, watching sunsets, attending shows, walking miles around the ship, and dancing the night away. Cruising gives us the opportunity to disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with each other.

Through Operation To Honor LLC, we are passionate about helping veterans, first responders, civil servants, their families, and anyone who values service find incredible cruise experiences at the best possible value. Our mission is simple: help people spend less time worrying about vacation planning and more time enjoying meaningful experiences, creating lasting memories, and sharing adventures with the people they love.
