In cruise we got a ECAM alert of hydraulic blue sys low press followed by blue hydraulic low quantity. Followed ECAM checklist and contacted Dispatch to discuss option. Determined it best to continue to ZZZ. We advised ATC and landed on Runway XX.It was an unforeseen event that was handled according to company passengers and policies.
During cruise; the ECAM notified us of a HYD B RSVR LO LVL failure with associated B SYS LO PR. Followed ECAM procedure and secured B SYS Hydraulics. Notified Dispatch; evaluated situation; advised ATC and landed safely in ZZZ.The decision to continue to ZZZ was a good one; giving the crew and myself plenty of time to assess and not rush. First Officer (Pilot Flying) did a good job staying on task while I handled the problem with Dispatch and the Flight Attendant crew. He also did a nice job flying.Failure of an electrical HYD pump cannot be planned for. Good crew coordination makes the response to the problem easier to handle.
A319 flight crew reported loss of Blue System hydraulic pressure and quantity resulted in a precautionary landing.
