Remember that the only condition for a star ship, is to be able to have thrust all the time. Even a very small thrust is enough to reach relativistic speeds, and therefore make the travel-time human-scale. FOR THE TRAVELERS!
Now, the problem is that unless the travelers include the trillionaire that will finance the projects, nobody will want to finance a travel, where the travellers reach the destination after their dead, and can give back news only after the payers' children are dead.
But travelling one year on board to reach Proxima Centauri (4 light years away) wouldn't even be tiring for the traveller.
(Ok, perhaps we could pay for this destination, after all, we'd get news about landing ten years later).
