2GO Masagana is a passenger ferry and flagship of the Philippine shipping company 2GO Travel that went into service in 2003. She was originally known as Tsukushi of Hankyu Ferry.
She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Maligaya, formerly Yamato, also from Hankyu Ferry. She was acquired by 2GO a few months after 2GO Maligaya. The difference between the two sister ships is on livery design, which has a few modifications and tweaks. In 2023, her sister MV 2GO Maligaya, had her sundeck area expanded for more accomodations, while she retained her original sundeck.
She and her sister ship are the largest passenger vesels ever to sail in the Philippines, surpassing MV Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.
