It would be quite a fun expedition though, knowing that when you reach your destination there could already be many others who have reached that point so you can see how everything has advanced. Assuming your goals are oriented more towards curiosity rather than making money.
You sacrifice 30 years to see what someone potentially achieved within 1 million years. I'm sure there would be people willing to do that.
Let's say I'm an uber billionaire (trillionaire in the future), aged 45, I might think that I have tried already everything there's to try on earth and want to see the future. I would build a ship with more than enough entertainment for following 30 years and invite bunch of other people and just start with the journey.
Maybe I could even leave some money behind for other groups to keep building better solutions that would reach the destination much sooner so they can already start building out the destination and have millions of years of time to do that before I reach there.
It would be an enormous risk of course, but it could also pay off very well if for example you still own a large proportion of the business you leave behind to build the following spaceships and if it ever should reach the destination was still legally upholding the ownership you have. In fact in this case you could be magnitudes more richer in the new location when you arrive as compared to when you left 30 years ago in your time.
Or if something like cryogenic freeze is possible, you could also do that for some of the years if you ever got bored in the ship.
