2GO Maligaya is a passenger ferry and flagship of the Philippine shipping company 2GO Travel that went into service in 2003 as Yamato of Hankyu Ferry. She is the flagship of the fleet.

She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masagana, formerly Tsukushi and was acquired by 2GO a few months after 2GO Maligaya.

She and her sister ship are the largest passenger vessels ever to sail in the Philippines, surpassing MV Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.
