Do we have to share overnight train rooms in Europe? - Positive adult ethnic couple in casual clothes giving high five to each other while resting on bed in small bedroom with sticking out pipe

My buddy and I are planning to take an overnight train. I notice on seat61 that the pictures of the rooms have up to 6 beds in them.

  1. Does this mean we will be sleeping with other people or do we get the whole room to ourselves?
  2. Is there some sort of rule that says if our party has a certain number of people (less than full capacity of the room) that we could get the whole room to ourselves?
