Synopsis
Captain reported loss of Yellow Hydraulic System during cruise. The flight crew continued to destination airport and landed.
Narrative
While flying in cruise flight at FL360; aircraft ECAM presented with a Yellow Hydraulic System Low Reservoir Level. Accomplished the ECAM; verified that the Yellow reservoir was indicating low level on the system page; and reviewed the Status page. Reviewed landing distance and choice of runway. Went through options with the FO (First Officer) and we agreed to continue on to ZZZ after contacting Dispatch. [Requested priority handling] with Center and proceeded to a point on final for Runway XXC. FO completed the uneventful landing; FO was very experienced and I was comfortable with him landing aircraft. [Priority] personnel checked the aircraft on taxiway and then we proceeded to the gate with trucks following. While at cruise; I decided to bring the Purser up to brief her on the situation and brief the situation. We did not prep the cabin; but just had them review steps for evacuation so they were fresh in memory. I had plenty of time to bring her to the cockpit for the brief. I had an immediate situation with a young crew before and they came off the plane shaking; so if there is time I now try to look them in eye and let them see I am calm. I think this worked well with our situation.
