MV 2GO Maligaya (MLG), also known simply as MV Maligaya, is a passenger ferry and the flagship vessel of Philippine ferry operator 2GO Travel. It originally entered service in 2003 as Yamato under Hankyu Ferry.
She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masagana (formerly Tsukushi), which was acquired by 2GO a few months after Maligaya. The primary differences between the two sister ships are their livery designs, which feature several minor modifications and tweaks. Additionally, after 2023, MV 2GO Maligaya's third passenger deck where the sundeck area used to be, was extended.
Both she and MV 2GO Masagana are the largest passenger vessels ever to sail in the Philippines, surpassing the size of MV Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.
