Exactly what Parkers Tan and Vorlon said
Though the time dilation can work in the travellers' favour in a sense, because by accelerating you can arbitrarily shorten the time that passes in the spaceship. But as seen from the outside, a lightyear will always take more than a year to traverse unless there are serious flaws in relativity theory.
We're talking about ordinary movement through space, no wormholes or exotic warp drives as poroposed by Alcubierre.
