Never been this trip up

p.147-
"That is to say, I was in Cairo. I've never been this trip up the Nile before."
"You came over on the Carmanic, I believe - at least so Madame Doyle was telling me."
===

Do the red words mean that during this trip he has not been to the Nile but before this trip he had?

It could mean either that he has never taken that particular trip on the Nile before or that he has never been on the Nile before.
