Where Thrill Ride Meets the Authentic Arctic
The heart of Expedition Odyssey lies in its next-generation ride system, boasting an unprecedented range of motion. This innovative technology will bring an unparalleled fluidity and realism to every twist, dive, and glide, making you truly feel like you’re navigating the Arctic’s dynamic landscapes. Complementing this dynamic motion will be exclusive, custom-shot video footage captured in remote Arctic locations. This unmatched authenticity will immerse guests in breathtaking encounters with iconic animals such as majestic polar bears, playful orcas, graceful beluga whales, curious seals, and impressive walruses.

An Adventure for Explorers of All Ages
Designed to ignite the spirit of adventure in everyone, Expedition Odyssey continues SeaWorld Orlando’s commitment to family-friendly thrills with a surprisingly accessible height requirement of just 39 inches. This means that both the young and the young-at-heart can embark on this unforgettable Arctic expedition together. Plus, being entirely indoors, this attraction guarantees a cool and thrilling escape for the whole family, rain or shine, all year round.

From Ride to Reality: Real Arctic Animal Encounters Await
The immersive adventure doesn’t end when the ride stops. As guests disembark from Expedition Odyssey, they will seamlessly transition into captivating face-to-face encounters with real Arctic animals, including enchanting beluga whales, sleek seals, and impressive walruses. Adding an extra layer of heartwarming connection is the arrival of Uki, an orphaned Pacific walrus calf rescued in Alaska. Deemed non-releasable, Uki found a new home at SeaWorld Orlando last September and will make her debut in Expedition Odyssey’s meticulously crafted Arctic habitat. Guests will have the unique opportunity to witness this extraordinary animal ambassador firsthand.

For those seeking an even deeper connection, SeaWorld will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences like the Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, allowing guests to stand poolside with these intelligent marine mammals and learn about their behaviors and the critical conservation efforts surrounding them.
“We are pleased to announce the opening date of Expedition Odyssey, an adventure unlike anything our guests have experienced before, combining thrilling, immersive storytelling with powerful, real-world animal connections,” said Jon Peterson, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando. “The newest addition to our park is unlike anything we have ever done before and brings to life the wonder of the Arctic in a way only SeaWorld can do.”
