It used presentation of the old UK BBC HD channel, with promos stating "On Board, On TV, On BBC HD".
It even looks to have its own website here: www.bbchdmaritime.com
There were no commercials and was showing even the latest episodes of EastEnders from the current week.
Seems strange to continue with the HD moniker, especially given that the TV's in the cabins on the ship I travelled on were old 720p TV's at best.
Slightly off-tangent: I was watching my Blu-ray of Psychoville Series 1 (great series btw) and noticed the 2006 BBC HD 'sting' was used as the BBC ident on that disc. Interesting (but welcome!) choice.
