That's not correct. If you could accelerate to a significant fraction of c then you can traverse the Milky Way well within a human lifetime from your point of view. Hundreds of thousands of years will pass on earth and your destination while you travel, but it's not a problem for the passengers.

If your acceleration is somewhere between .5G and 2G then every single hop costs a significant chunk of your lifetime, even if those hops can reach extremely far.
