“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world. At the core of the show is the inspiring and educational message that both animals and humans are part of one world, with one ocean, and its future is in our hands to cherish and protect.

“One Ocean” brings to life SeaWorld’s mission in the most powerful way yet,” said Jim Atchison, president and chief executive officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. “This show is what guests love about our parks: thrilling entertainment that educates and inspires you to celebrate, connect and care for the world we share.”

Shamu Stadium, with its 3-story set, panoramic LED screens and hundreds of surround-sound speakers, now features special effects that envelop guests in the show experience, including soaring fountains, stunning underwater imagery, and an original musical score.

At 80 feet long and 30 feet tall, the SeaWorld Orlando set takes the form of an immense killer whale fluke. It incorporates the colors of the ocean’s spectrum - from cobalt blue, to aquamarine and even royal purple – while its center reflects the vivid yellows and oranges of a sunrise over the sea. Dozens of hand-crafted, translucent animal figures adorn the towering set.

Thirty-five programmable fountains, arcing up to 50 feet across the pool, ring Shamu Stadium and are synchronized to the musical score. Not only do the fountains provide dramatic effect during the show, they also serve as enrichment for the whales during playtimes throughout the day.

An original symphonic score is amplified through hundreds of speakers, giving Shamu Stadium a surround-sound experience. The musical score features three original songs intended to evoke a global stewardship message: “One Song,” “Side by Side” and “We’re One.”

But the whales are the true stars of the show. "One Ocean" features spectacular whale behaviors, including thrilling high-energy leaps and multiple whales performing simultaneously. The whales interact in new ways with trainers, the audience, one another, and even the set itself. In one segment, the whales play amid the giant fountains.

Together, trainers, producers, designers and educators have collaborated on new ways to connect with SeaWorld guests and show how closely the human and animal worlds are connected. The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show, encouraging guests to make a difference through their own everyday actions.

We saw the new show last week and although it was fab, it didn't have quite the same impact for me as Believe did (at least Believe with trainers in the water). It was still excellent though, and has some quite funny parts as well. Hope everyone going to see it soon enjoys it!

Think this show will make me shed a tear, it looks lovely.

Have seen it twice now and enjoyed it both times. I think I preferred the last one though that involved the trainers more but obviously understand the reasons for the change.

Watched the One Ocean show twice during our trip over the last two weeks. A really excellent and emotion stirring show. I even cried at the bit at the beginning when they asked serving or retired members of the US and allied armed forces to stand and receive an ovation from the audience. And in this show, soak zone means SOAK! On both visits the stadium was full so make sure you go early if you want to get a good seat.
