YP journeys is founded on the values of honesty, integrity, and genuine connection. We specialize in exclusive travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary — journeys rich in culture, scenery, and meaning. From the initial consultation to your safe return home, we’re with you every step of the way — not just in the planning phase, but as your dedicated advocate if anything unexpected arises during your travels. We take the hassle out of vacation planning while delivering unmatched value for your travel investment.
We don’t book cookie-cutter vacations. Instead, we curate distinctive itineraries designed around your unique preferences, timing, and budget — often in sought-after or remote destinations that most travelers only dream of. Backed by strong relationships with trusted luxury suppliers around the world, we’re able to offer elevated service, insider access, and tailored options that deliver far more than the typical vacation.
As seasoned travelers, we’ve explored firsthand the Galápagos Islands, Machu Picchu, and the pristine islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea. And with both lived and traveled experience in Japan, we’re especially passionate about helping our clients uncover the beauty and depth of this remarkable country.
Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter or embarking on your first big journey, our mission is to ensure your travel experience is nothing short of extraordinary. What sets YP journeys apart is not just where we help you go — but the value, care, and insight we bring to every journey.

meet Yuri Pross
OWNER & LEAD TRAVEL ADVISOR
|
As the daughter of a US Marine, a Marine veteran myself, and a Marine wife, travel has always been a prominent part of my life. With years of extensive travel experiences under my belt, I decided to turn my passion into a profession and became a travel advisor in June 2019 once our kids ventured out on their own. As an avid cruiser, I have personally embarked on 36 voyages with 14 different cruise lines, making me a true expert in the field. While I have cruised on some of the largest ships available, some of the oldest, as well as some of the newest, I have recently discovered the pleasure and intimacy of small-ship cruising; I’d love to offer opportunities for others to experience the enjoyment they offer. |
In addition to cruising, I am also a Japan Travel Specialist. I have lived in Japan several times, including almost 5 years as an adult. I speak fluent Japanese, and am well-versed in the customs and courtesies, as well as everyday life in Japan. I would love to plan your trip to the Land of the Rising Sun!
Finally, I was able to visit Africa not once, but twice in 2024, and I now have the knowledge to confidently help you plan your safari. Once you go on a game drive and see the animals in their natural habitat, you will want to say goodbye to zoo visits, and plan your next safari trip!
From living in Japan, both as a child and an adult, as well as my travels to various destinations in Europe, Africa and beyond, I bring a wealth of first-hand experience to assist both seasoned travelers and novices alike. With over 25 years of military experience, as active duty, spouse, and parent, I am particularly supportive of our military community and always strive to find applicable military discounts for my clients.
