Short answer: No.

Long answer: No rocket currently exists that can lift a human habitat out of Earth's gravity well. We couldn't even put somebody on the moon. Theoretically we have the technology, and NASA is working on putting that theory into practice, but they literally lost the plans for the Saturn V and we haven't had anything nearly that powerful since. The ex-Soviet boosters that are taking people to the ISS nowadays are as good as it gets.

Saturn is, at its nearest, like a billion miles away. The Apollo astronauts hold the record for fastest humans at a bit less than 25,000 miles per hour. If we assume we can get our hypothetical travelers to twice that speed, a billion miles would take 833 days. More than two years.

No human has spent that much time in space in their entire life, though one cosmonaut is close. The longest anybody has spent in a single stretch was about half that long.

Saturn is a long way away, in both real and metaphorical terms.
