I have installed a beadboard ceiling in my bathroom. I want to keep the natural look. Do I just use several coats of a good clear, satin polyurethane?

Not clear on what finish it currently has… is it unfinished? If so, you can prime and paint OR stain and Varnish…

Yes, you can use 2 or more coats of poly. Any good clear finish will do a good job. For the best water resistance consider a marine spar varnish like McCloskey's Man-o-War spar varnish.
