Agent Specializing in Cruises, Luxury, and Japan

Hi! My name is Yuri (pronounced Yudi) and I am a wife, Mom, and Mimi. My husband John and I live just east of Cheyenne, Wyoming. I became a travel planner in June 2019, once our kids were out on their own.  I am an avid cruiser, and have personally cruised on AmaWaterways, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Celebrity, Disney, Norwegian, Regent Seven Seas, Royal Caribbean, Virgin, and Windstar. I have become a subject matter expert in cruising and continue to learn about many different cruise lines and all that they offer. 

In addition to cruising, I have participated in several travel agent familiarization trips; I am well-versed in all-inclusive resorts and am also very familiar with Rocky Mountaineer luxury rail vacations.

With over 25 years of military experience (active duty, spouse, and parent), I am pro-military and will find any applicable military discounts for you. 

I get excited for my clients when planning their trips because I love to travel. I love cruising in the Caribbean. Cruising in the Society Islands -- Tahiti, Bora Bora and others -- was a bucket list trip that I will need to repeat! Portofino was my favorite port in Italy. Alaska was just as amazing the second time around as the first, eleven years prior. I can't wait to get back to Japan, especially after recently sending clients there.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I look forward to working with you.

Japan Travel Specialist

Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni, Japan

I am half-Japanese. My name, Yuri, means Lily. I lived in Japan for two years as a child, and almost five years as an adult,. When I lived in Kokubunji at my grandfather's house, my sisters and I commuted daily to school at Yokota Air Force Base, taking two trains and a bus. When my husband was stationed in Iwakuni, I taught English to Japanese children and adults, and we spent lots of time off-base, traveling, shopping, and enjoying the Japanese culture. I graduated from Penn State University with a major in East Asian Studies and a minor in Japanese language, and I speak Japanese fluently. I would love to help you plan your trip to immerse yourself in the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.

    Why you need a travel planner
    Reviewed By Mary - Virginia | Traveled to Europe
    Yuri is absolutely the best. We've used her several times now and I'm not sure what we would have done without her. Two of our trips ended up begin cancelled due to COVID and she took care of everything. Her support made our other trips perfect. Can't recommend her highly enough!

    Amazing Experience! Highly Recommend!
    Reviewed By Jess P - Gainesville, FL | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
    Yuri did an amazing job helping my husband and I plan an international trip with many moving parts and travel within our trip. She provided expert opinion on places to see and really was able to hold my hand in planning the trip. She was available from beginning to end and follow-up after our trip.

    An exceptional experience!
    Reviewed By Tim M - Stafford, VA | Traveled to Rhine Valley ~ Germany ~ Europe
    Yuri Pross is an absolute professional. Very well organized and helped us through every step of getting the trip set up (on the ship), to travel arrangements, etc. Genuinely nice and helpful and when we encountered a travel issue, she worked tirelessly to help us solve it. Honestly, she was engaged in helping us get to our destination from first thing in the morning until well into the evening. Yuri also does thoughtful things like sending out travel tips, helpful little travel items, etc. (By the way, one of her tips was to buy an Apple AirTag which I did, and I don't think we would have gotten our suitcase without it!) I have never had a better experience with a travel agent. She is exceptional, and we'll definitely be working with her again.
