Yuri Pross
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
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.
