Hey, I tried to reply to your question on the forum but the computer wouldn't let me. But I have the same problem, im 19 and planning on going on the European explorer leaving august 11 2013. So I'm assuming ill be the youngest because its a timeout tour so its the more expensive hotels and I think its 33 days. But if im going all the way to Europe I'd rather spend the extra money and stay in nice hotels. When were you planning on going? Lauren
