SeaWorld Orlando is taking guests on an unprecedented journey to the Arctic with its most ambitious attraction yet: Expedition Odyssey. Set to debut in Spring 2025, this next-generation experience will blur the lines between simulation and reality, combining cutting-edge motion technology, real-world animal encounters, and stunning cinematography to transport guests into one of Earth’s most extreme and awe-inspiring environments.

With breathtaking landscapes, heart-pounding thrills, and up-close encounters with Arctic wildlife, Expedition Odyssey is set to redefine what a theme park experience can be.

An Unmatched Ride System That Feels Like the Real Thing

At the core of Expedition Odyssey is a state-of-the-art ride system that offers an unparalleled range of motion, allowing guests to experience the Arctic’s powerful currents, soaring glacial peaks, and deep ocean dives with incredible realism. Unlike traditional motion-based attractions, this first-of-its-kind vehicle system will let riders glide, twist, dive, and surge through the Arctic with movements that mimic the natural flow of the ocean.

The adventure begins as guests set off on an Arctic expedition, navigating through:

• Towering glaciers and frozen landscapes
• Iceberg-dodging thrills as they race alongside beluga whales
• An unforgettable deep-sea dive, plunging into the icy depths where orcas, humpback whales, and polar bears roam freely

With seamless motion and immersive sensory effects, every moment of the journey feels impossibly real.

Awe-Inspiring Cinematography: Real Footage, No CGI

One of the most extraordinary aspects of Expedition Odyssey is its use of real-world footage. An award-winning production team ventured into the Arctic’s most remote and untouched locations to capture stunning, high-definition footage of Arctic wildlife.

Unlike many theme park attractions that rely on CGI or animation, Expedition Odyssey features only real, live-shot video, allowing guests to experience:

• Polar bears traversing the ice floes
• Orcas cutting through the frigid waters
• A humpback whale breaching at arm’s length
• Majestic Arctic landscapes filmed with cutting-edge cinematography

This level of realism heightens the immersion and makes Expedition Odyssey feel like an authentic Arctic exploration.

Beyond the Ride: Live Animal Encounters

The adventure doesn’t stop when the ride ends. Expedition Odyssey seamlessly transitions guests into a real-world experience, where they can meet some of the Arctic’s most fascinating creatures up close.

At SeaWorld Orlando’s Arctic exhibit, guests can encounter:

• Beluga whales
• Walruses
• Other Arctic marine life

For those looking for an even closer experience, SeaWorld Orlando will offer the Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, where guests can stand poolside, interact with these incredible creatures, and learn more about their behaviors and conservation.

An Arctic Expedition for the Whole Family

Continuing the family-friendly legacy of attractions like Penguin Trek, Expedition Odyssey will have a height requirement of just 39 inches, making it accessible for both kids and adults.

Families can embark on this journey together, making it a perfect adventure for all ages.

“With Expedition Odyssey, we are delivering an experience that is truly unmatched—one that combines breathtaking adventure with powerful, real-world encounters,” said Jon Peterson, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando. “This attraction embodies SeaWorld’s ongoing commitment to innovation, conservation, and creating awe-inspiring moments that stay with our guests long after they leave.”
