Is there a cabin for four people?
'Quattro' — KWAT-tro. The 'qu' is always 'kw' in Italian; double 't' gives a crisp stop.
Ask at the ticket office when booking for a group or family. Shared cabins are cheaper than booking multiple private ones and ideal for friends or families travelling together.
'Per quattro persone' (for four people) uses 'per' to express purpose/capacity. Italian numbers from 1–10 are frequently needed in booking contexts: 'una' (1), 'due' (2), 'tre' (3), 'quattro' (4), 'cinque' (5). This question pattern works with any number.
