@Lugu237 Both sound pretty natural, but I’m probably more inclined to say “There goes our trip.” just because it’s a bit easier to say.
I did realize that it might also depend slightly on what has occurred to make you think that the trip can’t take place.
For example, if your car breaks down before a road trip, and you won’t be able to immediately take it in for repair, you might say, “So much for our trip.” because your plans fell through even before you even got to go anywhere.
Or if, for example, your luggage was lost on the way to your destination, “There goes our trip.” would probably be more appropriate because you’ve come all this way, but have none of your things with you. Instead or being able to clothe and groom yourself, and enjoy your trip, you’ll probably have to spend a lot of time tracking your luggage down.

@Lugu237
It seems like both phrases are being used to admit some kind of defeat, as in, something didn’t go to plan so you can’t go on the trip that you had planned.
I don’t know that there is much that distinguishes the two phrases. They both mean about the same thing. Does that help, or would you like more detail?

@d45890da That was really useful, but could you tell me which one would you be more likely to say? The one that'd sound more natural, for example.
