_Tau Zero_ by Poul Anderson is excellent, although the (sublight) ship does
leave our solar system.

_The FOrever War_ by Joe Haldeman. Special relativity is a star performer
in this one.

There are lots of others, of course, but I assume you want spaceflight to
be important. In her Hainish novels, Ursula LeGuin keep people at sublight
speeds, but she breaks other rules.

I can't think of others off the bat.
