Depends on the timeframe

Interstellar sails are basically designed for one way trips; but you could transport the technology to build a return laser as an advance materiel deployment (with or without making your first mission a construction crew). Once you have lasers at both the departure & target systems, interstellar travel almost becomes cheap, of course.
