Wouldn't a spaceship traveling at luminal or near light speeds come back to find earth hundreds of years in the future

If a spaceship left earth traveling at near or at light speeds (that being possible in this situation) would they not when coming back to earth, arrive many years in the future due to Einstein's theory of time travel and how could this be prevented while still maintaining these speeds. It is okay to draw off of science fiction novels or movies that offer an explanation on why they do not end up in the future.
