WHY IT RATES: Seaworld has long been more than just a day trip kind of park. With the plethora of new attractions, world-class dining and more, Seaworld is very much a destination. - Rich Thomaselli, TravelPulse Senior Editor

All new this spring, SeaWorld Orlando has introduced a packaging program for its Discovery Cove theme park, including accommodations at one of the park's official partner hotels. The packages are commissionable to travel agents through seaworldparks.com/travelagents and VAX VacationAccess.
Discovery Cove Vacations allows agents to design a custom-tailored package that meets their clients' specific travel needs. All packages start with a day at Discovery Cove, an all-inclusive resort park best known for its dolphin swim experience. Once the park experience has been selected, agents can easily add a hotel stay in one of 16 partner hotels, many within walking distance.

All packages include unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando® and Aquatica, SeaWorld's Waterpark™, for 14 consecutive days around the date of the reservation, as well as reserved seating at SeaWorld's inspiring shows, 10 percent off dining and merchandise purchases in the park, early park access on select days, and one Cup that Cares, a build-your-own personalized penguin-shaped character cup available exclusively at SeaWorld's Antarctica - Empire of the Penguin.
In addition, clients who chose any of the Official Hotels of SeaWorld also receive front-of-line access on rides, complimentary transportation to the parks, and access to the exclusive SeaWorld Rescue Tour, a behind the scenes look at SeaWorld's rescue and rehabilitation facilities. All hotels also offer a fifth night free.
"One of the biggest benefits of booking a vacation with us is the level of trust agents can have in the process," said Toni Caracciolo, vice president of marketing and sales for SeaWorld Parks & Resorts. "Our partner hotels offer a wide range of price points and amenities, and they all maintain the same level of quality and customer service agents have come to expect from SeaWorld."

Discovery Cove is a one-of-a kind, highly interactive marine park where guests can swim with bottlenose dolphins, snorkel among thousands of tropical fish and rays, and play in a fresh-water river. The all-inclusive day resort also has an on-site aviary where guests hand-feed exotic birds.
Guests can help themselves throughout the day to freshly prepared meals like sweet Hawaiian chicken, fire-grilled fish and burgers, summer salads and homemade mac-and-cheese. Snacks as well as beer, wine and frozen daiquiris are available all-day.
Wetsuits, snorkel gear, showers and changing facilities, towels, lockers and environmentally safe sunscreen are complimentary. Private cabanas with hammocks, lounge chairs and a well-stocked fridge are available for an additional fee.
