Our 3rd Year Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management students from the University of Northern Philippines have successfully completed their incredible 2GO Shipboard Training aboard MV Masagana and MV Masinag!

Through hands-on experience in the Front Office and Food & Beverage departments, they didn’t just enhance their skills—they truly embraced the essence of hospitality at sea.

At UNP-CHTM, we go beyond the classroom. We shape future professionals through real-world experiences that instill discipline, adaptability, respect, and a genuine passion for service.

As they step off the ship, they carry not only knowledge and skills, but also unforgettable memories and friendships built along the way. The waves may have calmed, but the lessons—and the laughter—will surely be missed.

Future hoteliers, cruise ship professionals, and tourism leaders—your journey begins here!
