Orion

The Orion spacecraft can still include 6 astronauts...the Soyuz spacecrafts are still being built.....Maybe a modern version is planned (with the Europeans) for a larger crew....It might take a while, but a permanet crew of 6 astronauts is still possible (even before Orion flieswith 2 Soyuzes docked at any time).
