I think it would have to be a big ship, with that many people on board, the food alone they would need just for the journey to Mars, would be huge, even if its freeze dried. Look at how much they have to take to the space station on a resupply mission, its measured in tons. And that's for anywhere from 4 to 8 astronauts.
