Lana Datseva
Travel Designer
Lana Datseva is a Travel Designer based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and co-founder of The Cultured Adventurer, an affiliate of Travel Design Co.
She carries forward the legacy she began with her late husband, Alex, whose love of European travel, and of river cruising above all, inspired countless journeys and a loyal community of travelers. Together they built The Cultured Adventurer around the joy of discovery, curating self-hosted group trips that foster real connection and lasting memories. After Alex’s passing, Lana continued the company in his spirit, carrying their signature blend of culture, camaraderie and seamless travel forward.
A classically trained dancer and proud mom to her son Danny and daughter Anna, Lana brings creativity, grace and meticulous attention to detail to every itinerary. Her expertise shines brightest in immersive European journeys and river cruises designed to go well beyond the ordinary.
With Lana as your guide, you are not simply seeing the world. You are experiencing it as a true cultured adventurer.
“If you want to truly experience a destination, travel with a small, like-minded group. Self-hosted journeys, and river cruises above all, strike the balance between camaraderie, cultural immersion and service that knows your name.”
