Unless my math is very wrong, at 0.9c the passenger perceived time is more or less half the perceived time from the departure point. That's already quite significant, although not something I could do over a vacation ;-)

In order to spend a leisurely "cruise-ship" week to Proxima you'd need to go very close to c. At that speed, even friction with a non-ideal vacuum is a problem :-D.
