SeaWorld Orlando has officially unveiled the name and fresh details of its most ambitious attraction to date: Expedition Odyssey. Set to debut in Spring 2025, this state-of-the-art adventure will immerse guests in a high-stakes journey through the Arctic, blending cutting-edge ride and video technology with the awe-inspiring grandeur of one of Earth’s most extreme and untamed landscapes.


Combining dynamic motion, state-of-the-art visuals and real-world animal encounters, Expedition Odyssey is more than just a ride—it’s an adventure that blurs the line between simulation and reality. This first-of-its-kind attraction will take guests on an exhilarating journey through towering glaciers, vast tundra and the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean, encountering some of the planet’s most awe-inspiring wildlife along the way.
A First-of-Its-Kind Adventure
Expedition Odyssey redefines theme park innovation with a groundbreaking ride system that pushes the limits of motion-based attractions. Unlike traditional designs, this next-generation vehicle offers an unmatched range of movement, allowing guests to soar, dive, twist, and glide with the effortless grace of ocean currents.
The journey begins with a breathtaking tour of the Arctic, where guests navigate powerful currents, weave past towering icebergs, race alongside pods of beluga whales, and plunge into the ocean’s hidden depths. Seamless motion and immersive sensory effects make every twist and turn feel astonishingly real, bringing the wonders of the sea to life like never before.



Unprecedented Real-World Footage Captured with Unparalleled Precision
What sets Expedition Odyssey apart is the stunning, real, live-shot video footage captured exclusively for this attraction. Using custom-designed camera rigs and groundbreaking underwater cinematography, an award-winning production team ventured to the Arctic’s most remote locations to film polar bears, orcas, humpback whales and other iconic wildlife in their natural habitats.
And the adventure doesn’t end when the ride does. Expedition Odyssey seamlessly transitions guests into a real-world encounter with live Arctic animals, including beluga whales and walruses.
For those looking to get even closer, SeaWorld offers exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences like the Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, where guests can stand poolside with these incredible marine mammals, learning firsthand about their intelligence, behaviors and conservation.
An Adventure for the Whole Family
Continuing the legacy of Penguin Trek, Expedition Odyssey is designed to be a family-friendly thrill, with a height requirement of just 39 inches. That means kids and adults alike can embark on this unforgettable Arctic expedition together.
“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.”
