MV 2GO Maligaya (MLG) also known simply as MV Maligaya is a passenger ferry and flagship of the Philippine ferry operator 2GO Travel that went into service in 2003 as Yamato of Hankyu Ferry.
She is the sister ship of MV 2GO Masagana, formerly Tsukushi and was acquired by 2GO a few months after 2GO Maligaya. The difference between the two sister ships is the on the ships' livery design, which has a few modifications and tweaks, and after 2023, MV 2GO Maligaya's third passenger deck is longer than her sister.
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.
