Night time train travel room differences

Hello slowtravelers,

I see there is an option for the Excelsior Doppio and Excelsior Singolo on the Trenitalia website. Does anyone know the differences? Excelsior singolo costs more than the excelsior doppio. i would think a single is cheaper than a double.
 
As I take a quick look, it looks like it's a per-person charge. If you're traveling alone, with a Singolo you'd have the compartment to yourself, and with a Doppio you could have a stranger put with you.

And editing: as I test continuing such a reservation, it looks like a person alone selecting a Doppio is not allowed to continue; it would be an option for two people traveling together, and they would pay the per-person charge. Strangers could be put together in couchettes, and it's possible to select a single-sex compartment.

Andrew, this is great! Thank you for the extra step in testing the website. I should have proceeded further myself to see this!
