SeaWorld Orlando Unveils Expedition Odyssey – A Groundbreaking Arctic Adventure Coming Spring 2025
SeaWorld Orlando is taking guests on an unforgettable journey to the top of the world with Expedition Odyssey, a first-of-its-kind immersive Arctic experience opening in Spring 2025. This cutting-edge attraction will combine dynamic ride technology, breathtaking real-world footage, and up-close encounters with Arctic wildlife, creating an experience unlike anything seen before in a theme park.
A Thrill Ride Through the Arctic
Expedition Odyssey will transport guests across towering glaciers, vast tundra, and the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean. Thanks to an advanced motion-based ride system, guests will feel the rush of navigating powerful currents, dodging icebergs, and racing alongside pods of beluga whales, all while experiencing seamless motion that mimics the fluidity of ocean currents.
Unparalleled Real-World Footage
What sets Expedition Odyssey apart is its stunning real-world video footage, filmed exclusively for the attraction. An award-winning production team ventured into some of the most remote Arctic locations to capture polar bears, humpback whales, orcas, and walruses in their natural habitats. Every wave, glacier, and breathtaking wildlife interaction guests see is real, not CGI—bringing awe-inspiring realism to every moment of the journey.
From Virtual to Reality: Meet Arctic Animals Up Close
The adventure doesn’t stop when the ride ends. Guests will step directly into an Arctic wildlife encounter, where they can come face-to-face with beluga whales and walruses. For those looking for an even closer connection, SeaWorld’s Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour will offer an intimate opportunity to stand poolside with these majestic marine mammals, learning about their behaviors and conservation efforts.
An Experience for the Whole Family
Expedition Odyssey continues SeaWorld’s legacy of thrilling yet family-friendly attractions. With a minimum height requirement of just 39 inches, guests of all ages can embark on this extraordinary Arctic adventure together.
